Dans le cadre de son processus de surveillance des ouvrages, la SANEF a mis en évidence en 1990, sur le tronçon Laon - Calais de l'autoroute A26, la présence d'ouvrages d'art atteints par des attaques différées de leurs bétons de structure (alcali-réaction et/ou formation différée d'ettringite). Les premiers signes ont été observés sur quelques ouv...
La Réaction Sulfatique Interne (RSI) est une pathologie endogène qui peut toucher les matériaux cimentaires ayant été exposés à des températures supérieures à environ 65°C. Elle est causée par une formation tardive de l'ettringite dans le matériau durci, induisant le développement de pressions de cristallisation et de gonflements importants. Au jeu...

Delayed Ettringite Formation (DEF) and Alkali Aggregate Reaction (AAR) are both internal swelling processes that can affect concrete. They induce expansion, cracking and decrease of the mechanical properties and thus problems in terms of serviceability and safety for the corresponding structures. In the field, they are known to act frequently coupl...

Alkali aggregat reaction (AAR) and delayed ettringite formation (DEF) cause expansion of the affected concrete that generally leads to cracking and decrease of its mechanical properties. Consequently, these pathologies raise severe problems regarding serviceability, sustainable operation and structural integrity. Thus it is necessary to provide pre...

This paper presents the ongoing study of a gravity dam affected by alkali-silica reaction (ASR) and the strategy planned for its rehabilitation. The aim is to lower its stress-state by slot-cutting. The position and number of these slot cuttings will be determined by use of numerical modelling. The first steps of the study are described: analysis o...

The guidance made by a working group of the RILEM Committee TC 219 is dealing with the appraisal and management of structures damaged by AAR. This document is organized in four main chapters : a chapter on the effects of AAR on material and properties, a chapter from diagnosis to appraisal of residual structural capacity, a chapter devoted to the p...
