    The document summarizes research into using acoustic emission (AE) testing to detect cracking due to alkali-silica reaction (ASR) in concrete. It presents results from an experimental model system using a composite material and mortar samples. For the composite model, AE was able to detect cracking from inclusion expansion. For mortar samples containing reactive aggregates, AE detected cracking at different stages including earlier than measurable expansion. Higher temperatures and larger sample sizes were found to affect cracking rates. The research demonstrated the potential of AE to capture ASR cracking but identified needs for further study of behavior over time and temperature and differentiating crack locations.

    ACI WEB SESSIONS

    Dr. Pour-Ghaz earned his BS in Civil Engineering from Tabriz University, Iran, in 2003. Before pursuing his MS in Civil Engineering, he practiced as a research engineer in the area of nondestructive testing of composites and concrete in a research and development company in Concord, Canada. After receiving his MS degree in 2007 from Carleton University, Canada, he attended Purdue University where he earned his PhD in Civil Engineering with an emphasis in concrete materials in 2011. While at Purdue, he received the William L. Dolch award for outstanding research in material science and the Magoon award for excellence in teaching.

    SUMMARY 1
    Acoustic emission could capture cracking due to ASR Different stages of cracking and dormant period were observed; further research is needed to better understand the behavior Cracking could be captured earlier than expansion

    SUMMARY 2
    Waveform analysis may be used to differentiate between aggregate cracking and cement paste matrix cracking Temperature and geometry can have a significant effect of the rate of expansion and cracking Further research is needed to better understand the effect of temperature and geometry
