The FHWA has announced the development of an Alkali-Silica Reactivity Workshop to accomplish the following objectives:
- Presentation of the overview of alkali-aggregate reaction (AAR) (both alkali-silica reaction (ASR) and alkali-carbonate reaction (ACR)),
- Summarize the available methods to prevent and mitigate ASR-induced damage in new construction and existing structures,
- Discuss and recommend test methods and specifications related to AAR, and
- Provide case studies of AAR-affected structures, including rehabilitation strategies
Please see the attached workshop flyer for more information. If you are interested in hosting a workshop in your state or would like additional information please contact Gina Ahlstrom by email at email hidden; JavaScript is required or at 202-366-4612.
