Alkali-silica reactivity of lightweight aggregate: A brief overview

The alkali-silica reaction (ASR) phenomenon is one of the most severe conditions which could deteriorate concrete. While extensive studies have been done on the reactivity of normal weight aggregate, the ASR mechanism related to the use of lightweight aggregate is not well understood. The paper revi...
