| 摘要 |
Methods of reducing hydroxyl ions in concrete pore solutions are provided. Such methods are useful in providing resistance to gels which form in concrete due to the alkali-silica (ASR) reaction. The methods comprise, in one aspect, adding a salt to the concrete, in aqueous or solid form, the salt having a cation higher in valence than the anion. In other aspects, the methods of the present invention comprise adding an acidic phosphate or a silicon-containing alkoxide to the concrete. All of the above methods are useful in reducing hydroxyl ions in concrete. Such methods can be used to prevent ASR in fresh concrete, or to remediate ASR in hardened concrete.
