ASR: Insights into the cracking process via lattice fracture simulation at mesoscale based on the chemical reactions at microscale

In our former paper, based on a published 3D reactive transport model at microscale with the capability of simulating the chemical reactions involved in ASR, the location of expansive ASR gel related to the reactivity of aggregate, temperature, aggregate porosity and silica content in aggregate, is clarified. Based on the simulation results,...
