Changing the ASR Game with Nanotech

Premature concrete deterioration is a common and exasperating problem to the tune of (US)$8.3 billion in 2009 to repair federal concrete infrastructure damaged by chemical degradation (Kuennen, 2004). It is primarily caused by both chemical and mechanical changes resulting in structural defects which compromise serviceability. Alkali-Silica Reaction (ASR) is one of the major causes.
