AB  - Alkali silica reaction (ASR) generates expansive forces that cause cracking and strength loss. In addition, the newly created cracks facilitate the ingress of harmful reagents from the environment resulting in faster degradation of the material. Most current remedies to mitigate ASR utilize a chemical approach. This paper, however, reports results on mitigating ASR through a mechanical approach that focuses on controlling the cracking due to ASR. Since these cracks start as microcracks at the reactive aggregate/matrix interfaces, microfibers were chosen to control these microcracks at the reaction site at onset. Microfiber reinforcements successfully reduced the cracking and strength reduction due…
