• Abstract:
  There are many factors that affect the durability of Portland cement concrete (PCC), including the mix design and the ; materials used, the quality of construction, and the environment. Durability is not an intrinsic property of the concrete, but ; instead is related to how the material interacts with the environment. Durability-related deterioration is referred to as ; materials-related distress (MRD). Common MRDs include those caused by physical processes, such as freezing and ; thawing, or chemical processes, such as alkali-silica reactivity (ASR) and sulfate attack. This research project was ; undertaken to determine whether concrete used in the ADOT system is experiencing, or is potentially susceptible to, ASR or ; sulfate attack, and if so, to what degree.
