Abstract:Reinforced concrete bridge piers in Texas have
shown signs of concrete deterioration in the
form of map cracking within a few years after
construction. The pattern cracking is associated
with the deleterious effects of alkali-silica
reaction (ASR) and delayed ettringite formation
(DEF) within the concrete over time. The effects
of premature concrete deterioration caused by
ASR and/or DEF on the structural performance,
in particular the end regions of structural
elements known as disturbed or D-regions, is
unknown. It is also not known how to take these
effects into account in a commonly used design
office analysis technique such as the strut-and-tie (SAT) method.
