AB  - Alkali silica reaction (ASR) is one of the main reasons that cause deterioration in concrete structures, such as dams and bridges. ASR is a chemical reaction between alkali ions from cement paste and the silica inside each aggregate piece. ASR gel, which is the product of this reaction, imbibes additional water causing swelling and cracking, which leads to degradation of concrete me- chanical properties. In this study, to model ASR-induced damage, the Lattice Discrete Particle Model (LDPM) is adopted, which is a meso-scale discrete model. LDPM simulates concrete at the level of coarse aggregate pieces. ASR effects have been already…
