Long-Term Operations: Literature Review of Structural Implications of Alkali-Silica Reaction
Concrete structures can degrade as a result of alkali-silica reactions, and nuclear plants need to develop aging management programs to maintain structural integrity for extended operations. To support that work, this report reviews research on how alkai-silica reactions change the mechanical properties and behaviors of concrete structures.
