2 This calculation determines a correlation between through-thickness expansion and normalized elastic modulus of concrete test specimens affected by Alkali-Silica Reaction (ASR). The correlation is based on data from test programs that MPR sponsored at Ferguson Structural Engineering Laboratory (FSEL). The correlation is compared to published data. 2.0

SUMMARY

OF RESULTS There is a strong correlation between elastic modulus and through-thickness expansion of that are affected by ASR. The data were fit with a least squares regression using a-form. Figure 2-1 below shows the FSEL test data and the least squares fit. The least squares fit compares favorably with the trend observed in the data. The R 2 value of the correlation i *. Figure 2-1 also shows data found in the literature for free expansion of ASR-affected concrete specimens. These data are consistent with the FSEL data. Figure 2-1.

3.0 BACKGROUND

MPR Associates, Inc. 320 King Street Alexandria, VA 22314 Checked By Page: 5 Revision:

2 Published data show that the material properties of ASR-affected concrete change with increasing levels of ASR-related expansion.

MPR will use the relationship between material properties and ASR-related expansion to determine the through-thickness expansion of concrete structures at Seabrook Station. This relationship is defined using data from test programs that MPR sponsored at FSEL to investigate ASR in reinforced concrete elements.

The test specimens were consistent with structures at Seabrook Station in terms of reinforcement details, depth of cover, and overall depth. In addition, the concrete used in the test specimens was representative of the concrete used at Seabrook Station, with some deviations to produce significant ASR-related expansion in a short timeframe.

4.0 ASSUMPTIONS

4. 1 Assumptions with a Basis There are no assumptions with a basis. 4.2 Unverified Assumptions There are no unverified assumptions.

5.0 DISCUSSION

5.1 Test Data The test data used herein are for test specimens from the Shear Test Program and the Reinforcement Anchorage Test Program, as well as the Instrumentation Test Program. Combining data from these three programs is appropriate as the same concrete mix was used in all test specimens.

In addition, the test specimen configurations and reinforcement details were similar (Reference 6). Data from all ASR-affected are used in this calculation.

This includes data from test specimens: -reinforcement anchorage specimens-shear specimens, and the instrumentation beam. The baseline material properties are the 28-day tests performed on cylinders molded at the time of concrete placement.

The material properties at various levels of ASR-related expansion are based on tests of cores removed from the test specimen prior to structural testing. The data include the following:

  • 28 days after concrete placement (before ASR-related expansion occurred)

Three compressive strength values, Three elastic modulus values, and Three splitting tensile strength values 1.

  • Prior to structural testing (after ASR-related expansion occurred)

Three compressive strength values, Three elastic modulus values, Three splitting tensile strength values 2 , and Through-thickness expansion values. All values are taken from MPR-4262 (Reference

6) or Reference 8 and are summarized in Appendix A. 5.2 Selection of Elastic Modulus as the Property for the Correlation To facilitate comparisons, the material properties of each test specimen from the post-ASR cores were normalized against its average value from the 28-day cylinders.

Therefore, a sample that had seen very little change in a material property would have a normalized value of approximately 1, whereas one that had experienced a 25% reduction in a material property would have a normalized value of 0.75. Figure 5-1 plots the normalized compressive strength and the normalized elastic modulus versus through-thickness expansion.

From the plot, it appears that there is a strong correlation between modulus and through-thickness expansion.

There also appears to be a weak correlation between compressive strength and through-thickness expansion.

There were insufficient data to normalize the splitting tensile strength.

Therefore, the splitting tensile strength was plotted against through-thickness expansion in Figure 5-2. There does not 1 Note that 28-day results for splitting tensile strength are not available for specimens that were cast before May 2014 ) (Reference 6). 2 Note that the test programs did not start performing splitting tensile testing until the end of May 2014. Therefore, test-day splitting tensile strength test results are not available for. Procedure 5-6 allows omission of splitting tensile tests on cores due to the difficulty in extracting testable cores from members with significant cracking due to ASR. Using th!!,provision, splitting tensile strength testing was not performed on cores from. Similarly, only two cores from. and one core from I were tested (Reference 6). MPR QA Form: QA-3.1-3, Rev. 0

Therefore, it is determined that elastic modulus is the best choice to correlate against expansion.

5.3 Elastic

Modulus Correlation Non-linear least squares regression was used to fit a curve for the correlation between normalized modulus and expansion.

Based on scoping analysis of several types of equations (e.g. natural log, exponential, power, etc.), it was determined that the best-fit curve would take the form of: Least squares fitting was used to determine the constants A and B. The process of least squares is described in detail in Appendix B. This resulted in a final correlation of: Where: expansion is the relative through-thickness expansion of the concrete specimen (0.02 implies a 2% expansion) and modulus is the normalized modulus of the test specimen after ASR.

2 B Least Squares Regression Purpose This appendix explains the methodology used to perform the Least Squares Regression Analysis.

A brief description of the fit statistic R2 is also given. After the method of Least Squares is explained, the method is applied to the correlation between the FSEL test data for normalized elastic modulus and corrected through thickness expansion.

Discussion Least Squares Regression is a commonly accepted method of fitting a curve to a set of scattered data. This is done by minimizing the sum of squares error term. This is a common statistical method that is documented in textbooks such as "Applied Data Analysis and Modeling for Energy Engineers and Scientists" by T.A. Reddy. The sum of squares is given by: m S= Lr? i=1 Where: S is the error term, mis the number of known values, and ri is the residual of the ith value, as given by: Where: Yi and xi are a known value pair, f is the regressed or fit function, and C is the set of constants used to fit the model. By combining the above equations with a known set of values, Sis minimized by varying C. In some cases, this can be accomplished analytically, but is often accomplished numerically.

The values of C that minimize Sare said to be the fitting parameters, and the function f (xi, C) is the curve of best fit in the least squares sense. MPR QA Form: QA-3.1-3, Rev. 0 mMPR Calculation No. 0326-0062-CLC-03

Therefore, it can be fit to an equation of form: Where: xis the set of values ofX as shown in Table B-1. A and Bare a set of constants (C) used to fit the model. To begin, we will guess at the values of A and B. In this example, our first guess will be that A= -0.1 and B = -0.5. Using the model given above, we compute a value for y at each given x.

2 Figure 8-2. Regressed Curve R 2 can now be computed using the regressed curve. The sum of squared residuals (SSres)* The mean of y is *. Therefore, the sum of squared totals is-(SStot)* R can now be computed.
