Effective Asr Inhibiting Length And Applied Electrical Field Under Accelerated Lithium Migration Technique, Wei-Chien Wang, Chih-Chien Liu, Chau Lee

Journal of Marine Science and Technology

This study investigates the effective concrete length and electric field strength during Accelerated Lithium Migration Technique (ALMT) application for the inhibition of the alkali-silica reaction (ASR). Concrete specimens measuring 10 cm in diameter and 5, 7, 9, 11, 14, 17, 20 and 23 cm in length are fabricated. Specimens with 5, 7, and 9 cm in length are applied 9 A/m2 constant current density, and the rest specimens are applied 60 V constant voltage. After the ALMT process, the specimen is cut every 0.5 cm and analyzed its cation content. Experimental results shows that if the aim of ASR inhibition …
