Abstract: The Alkali-Aggregate Reaction (AAR) is a group of physicochemical reactions which occurs in the concrete between the interstitial solution (highly alkaline) and some mineral phases in the aggregates.
The damage induced by the AAR to the concrete could be very important.
Many old structures are attacked or will be attacked by AAR.
Remedial measures to repair or limit the problem exist but they are often only partially effective and very expensive.
The aim of our research is to carry out an experimental procedure in order to evaluate the influence of advanced composite materials confinement on the expansion and the mechanical behaviour of the alkali-aggregate reactive concrete.
