A1 - Weise, Frank T1 - Regression analysis of ASR expansions and silica dissolution in the presence of NaCl T2 - Proceedings of the 16th International Conference on Alkali-Aggregate Reaction in Concrete N2 - The durability of concrete structures due to alkali-silica-reaction (ASR) is usually been assessed by ASR concrete prism tests (CPT). Therefore, the expansion of concrete specimens indicates an alkalisensitivity. In Germany these tests are performed at 40°C or accelerated 60°C. Nevertheless, ASR prism tests are expensive, power and time-consuming. For these reasons, an alternative chemical test (“mod. BTU-test”) was developed in the past. The “mod. BTU-test” was correlated with German standard CPT. In this test, the solubility of silica and alumina in the liquid phase is measured by ICP-OES. For special requirements in concrete road construction, stricter test procedures are necessary. The specimens are repeatedly subjected to cyclic alternating storage in NaCl. On the one hand, the presence of NaCl increases the ASR expansion, on the other hand NaCl also changes the dissolution behaviour of silica and alumina. For now is not possible to correlate the solubilities of “mod. BTU-test” and ASR expansions influenced by NaCl. Therefore, four aggregates with different ASR sensitivities were chosen and ASR concrete prism tests (in addition with NaCl) have been performed. According to the “mod. BTU-test” the solubilities of silica and alumina in presence of different NaCl concentrations were measured. This paper is about the regression analysis of silica and alumina dissolution and ASR expansion tests in presence of NaCl. The regression analysis shows the influence of a quasi-continuous and an interrupted cyclic alternating storage. Additionally the effects of temperature and NaCl concentration are investigated. In the end, a suitable NaCl concentration of the “mod. BTU-test” for dissolution experiments is recommended. The “mod. BTU-Test” with NaCl might be a serious and reliable test method for ASR classification for concrete road construction.
