Abstract

Aggregate is the main component of concrete and plays an essential role in the quality of concrete. Alkaline silicate reaction (ASR) is one of the most important reactions in concrete that can lead to concrete destruction. Aggregates containing active silica are responsible for this reaction, and the higher the amount, the greater the expected volume of reactions. The rate of increase of the reactions with changes in the amount of silica aggregates is part of the subject of this research. In this regard, a material was selected as the base material from the mountain quarry, and the necessary tests were performed on it by adding silica aggregates, 5, 10, 15, and 20 percent, the ASR test was performed on them according to the ASTM C1260 standard; The results showed that the expansion of the samples will increase by 0.01, 0.02, 0.04 and 0.06% respectively. Next, for the effect of microsilica on ASR, 5, 10, 15, and 20% were added to the materials and the results showed that microsilica reduced the expansion of the samples by 0.009, 0.014, 0.022, and 0.032 respectively and the increase of 20% of microsilica has reduced the expansion of the samples by 50%.
