1 Introduction A number of structures worldwide are known to (or will) suer from chemically induced expansion of the concrete. This includes not only the traditional alkali aggregate reaction (also known as alkali silica reaction) but increasingly delayed ettringite formation (DEF)1 .
There are three components to the investigation of structures suering from such an internal deterioration:
a) Chemo-physical characterization focusing primarily on the material; b) Computational modeling of the evolution of damage and assessing the structural response of the structure; and c) managing the structure, (Divet et al., 2003).
Focusing on the second one, ultimately an engineer must make prediction for the response of a structure.
In particular: a) is the structure operational, b) is it safe, and c) how those two criteria will evolve in time.
This task is best addressed through a numerical simulation (typically "nite element analysis) which should account for most of the structures inherent complexities. This is precisely the object of this document.
The assessment of these "nite element codes has been partially assessed within the ICOLD International Benchmark Workshops on Numerical Analysis of Dams2 , and there were only limited discussion of AAR within the European project Integrity Assessment of Large Concrete Dams, NW-IALAD, however there has not yet been any rigorous and rational assessment of codes. Similar recent benchmark analyses of shear walls subjected to reverse cyclic load following AAR expansion, highlighted the need for a more comprehensive benchmark.
Ultimately, practitioners would like to be able to calibrate their model with the limited historical "eld observation (typically inelastic crest displacements for dams, or crack maps for reinforced concrete) and then use it to extrapolate the behavior of the existing or modi"ed structure into the future. In science and engineering, any extrapolation should be based on a fundamentally sound model which ideally should be independently assessed for its capabilities. Unfortunately, expansive concrete ("nite element) models have not yet been assessed within a formal framework. The objective of this eort is indeed an attempt to develop such a formal approach for the bene"t of the profession.
Though we are aware of the importance of the chemical constituents of a reactive concrete (part a above),
and their potential impact on the residual swelling, this aspect is not considered in this study. Henceforth, we limit ourselves to the interaction of various mechanical aspects: temperature, relative humidity, chemically induced swelling, and mechanical load.
The authors believe that prior to the comparison of analysis of a structures, a series of simple tests should "rst be undertaken. Each one of the test problems in turn will highlight a strength (or de"ciency) of 1 It is well known that DEF is often associated with AAR, however it is increasingly observed that it can occur by itself in massive concrete structure subjected to early age high temperature and under high relative humidity (above 95%).
2 The sixth (Salzburg) and the eighth (Wuhan) benchmarks invited participants to analyze Pian Telessio and Poglia dams respectively. There was no submission to the former, and only two for the second.

2 1.1. OBJECTIVES a model, one at a time. Then and only then, we could assess a model predictive capabilities for the analysis of a structure.
This document will describe such a series of tests, and format in which data should be reported. In order to facilitate comparison, the test problems are of increasing complexity. For the most part we assess one parameter at a time, then two, and then three. Only after such an exercise could we compare full blown dam and nuclear containment vessel structure subjected to static and dynamic load.
1.1 Objectives This document is submitted by the authors to the Engineering community for the assessment of "nite element codes which can perform a modern simulation of reactive concrete expansion.
The study is composed of two parts, the "rst addresses material modeling, and the second structure modeling. For the material modeling each study is split in two parts: a) parameter identi"cation for the constitutive model (through calibration of your model with provided laboratory test results); and b) Predic-tion.
1.2 Important Factors in Reactive Concrete Assuming that the "nal residual swelling of the reactive concrete is known, and based on experimental and "eld observations, indications are that the following factors3 should be considered in the "nite element analysis of a structure:
- 1. Environmental Conditions of the concrete (a) Temperature (b) Humidity
- 2. Constitutive models (a) Solid concrete (tension, compression, creep, shrinkage)
(b) Cracks/joints/interfaces.
- 3. Load history
- 4. Mechanical Boundary Conditions (a) Structural Arrangement (b) Reinforcement (c) Anchorage 1.3 Problems Table 1.1 describes the 11 problems de"ned. It should be understood that not all participants will contribute to all of them, but to most of them.
3 There is no general agreement on the importance of all these parameters, the list is intended to be inclusive of all those perceived by researchers to be worth examining.

2.2.1 P1: Constitutive Models At the heart of each code is the constitutive model of concrete. This problem will assess the code capabilities to capture the nonlinear response in both tension and compression.
It should be noted that in some codes, (Sellier et al., 2009) the constitutive model is tightly coupled (in parallel) with the AAR expansion one (modeled as an internal pressure), in other, (Saouma and Perotti, 2006) 5
6 2.2. MATERIALS it is more loosely coupled (in series) with the AAR (modeled as an additional strain).
2.2.1.1 Constitutive Model Calibration Perform a "nite element analysis of a 16 by 32 cm concrete cylinder with fc , ft and E equal to 38.4 MPa, 3.5 MPa and 37.3 GPa respectively1 . Traction is applied on the top surface, and a frictionless base is assumed.
Make and state any appropriate assumption necessary, use the following imposed strain histogram:
ft f
0 1.5 0 3 t 1.5c 0 3c (2.1)
E E where c = 0.002. If needed, the fracture energy GF in tension and compression are equal to 100Nm/m2 and 10,000 Nm/m2 respectively.
2.2.1.2 Prediction Units: m, sec., MN, and MPa.
Repeat the previous analysis following an AAR induced expansion of 0.5%, you may use the experimen-tally obtained degradation curve, by (Institution of Structural Engineers, 1992) and published by Capra and Sellier ( (2003)), Fig. 2.1 Normalized Compression (ISE 92) Normalized Tension (ISE 92)

2.2.2 P2: Drying and Shrinkage For some structures not necessarily under water (such as bridges or certain hydraulic structures), drying shrinkage strains may be of similar order of magnitude as the AAR induced ones. As shown in Fig. 2.2 one must consider various cases of drying and shrinkage, reactive and non reactive concrete, and at relative humidities ranging from a low 30% to a fully saturated environment, and sealed or not. There are a total of 6 potential cases of interest:
- a. Non reactive concrete at 30% RH
- b. Reactive concrete at 30% humidity 1 These parameters should be used in all subsequent test problems.

2.2.3 P3: Basic Creep There is strong experimental and "eld indications that creep plays a dominant role in the irreversible long term deformation concrete subjected to constant load. Its eect must be accounted for to properly extract the AAR expansion. This may be explained through biaxially or triaxially loaded elements where swelling is restricted in one direction while free to occur on the other(s). Therefore, in the AAR constrained direction creep deformation will be predominant. This is more likely to occur in arch dams.

2.2.4 P4: AAR Expansion; Temperature Eect All chemical reactions are thermodynamically driven. Reactive concrete expansion varies widely with tem-perature ranges usually encountered in the "eld or laboratories. Hence, it is of paramount importance that the kinetics of the reaction captures this dependency.

CHAPTER 2. TEST PROBLEMS 11 2.2.5 P5: Free AAR Expansion; Eect of RH Relative humidity plays a critical role in the expansion of AAR aected concrete. It is well established, (Poole, 1992) that expansion will start for a RH at least equal to 80%, and will then increase with RH (RH 8 is a widely accepted forumula). For external bridge structures and some dams this can be critical.

(Leger, Cote, and Tinawi, 1996) and most recently (Multon and Toutlemonde, 2006). This test series seeks to ensure that this is properly captured by the numerical model.

STRUCTURES 2.3 Structures 2.3.1 P7: Eect of Internal Reinforcement 2.3.1.1 Description Internal reinforcement inhibits expansion and AAR induced cracking would then align themselves with the direction of reinforcement as opposed to the traditional map cracking. This test problem seeks to determine how the numerical model accounts for this, especially when cracking (thus a nonlinear analysis is needed) occurs.
Analyze the cylinder of P6-a under the same condition (free expansion, 38oC, 100% RH), for the same duration with a single internal reinforcing bar of diameter 12 mm in the center, and E=200,000 MPa and fy =500 MPa.

2.3.2 P8: Reinforced Concrete Beams 2.3.2.1 Description The mechanical behavior of two concrete beams, studied by S. Multon during his Ph.D. works at LCPC, is proposed. One beam is damaged by ASR during two years exposure in a 38o C environment and dierential water supply, leading to dierential ASR expansion within the structures. The other made with non-reactive aggregates was stored in similar conditions. Namely, the eects of the ASR development have been quanti"ed in a 4-points bending test of the beams, resulting in a lot of data among which the residual stiness and the "exural strength of both reactive and non-reactive beams. The objective is to simulate the evolution of the two beams during the two years of tests, and to "nish by a simulation of beam failure in four points bending.

16 2.3. STRUCTURES As AAR depends on humidity, a humidity pro"le must be "tted, in order to consider eect of saturation on the reaction. In order to "t the drying-humidi"cation cycle, the mass evolutions of the beams are given bellow Figure 2.18: Mass variation of the beams The temperature is constant and equal to 38o C. The concrete porosity is around 16% (15% at the bottom and 17% at the top of the beam).

- The "rst objective is to "nd a realistic humidity pro"le compatible with the mass variation history given in "gure 2.17.
- The second objective is to predict the de"ection of each beam, at mid span, versus time
- The third objective is the evolution of stress versus time, in the bottom longitudinal reinforcement

- The last stage consists to simulate, for the two beams, a four point bending test schematized in Fig.

2.3.3 P9: AAR Expansion; Idealized Dam 2.3.3.1 Description This last test problem assesses the various coupling amongst various parameters as well as the "nite element code and its ability to simulate closure of joint. A common remedy for AAR induced damage in dams is to cut a slot in the structure as in Mactaquac (Gilks and Curtis, 2003). This will relieve the state of stress, and allow the concrete to expand freely. However, at some point concrete swelling will result in a contact between the two sides of the slot. Hence, this problem will test the model ability to capture this important simulation aspect as well.
Consider the reduced dam model shown in Fig. 2.19 with the following conditions: a) lateral and bottom faces are all fully restrained; b) front back and top faces are free; c) slot cut at time zero, total thickness 10 RILEM TC 259-ISR Prognosis of deterioration and loss of serviceability in structures aected by alkali-silica reactions

CHAPTER 2. TEST PROBLEMS 19 2.3.4 P10: Expansion of RC Panel With or Without Lateral Con"nement This section has been prepared with the assistance of Nolan Hayes, Ammar Abd-Elssamd and Qiang Gui from the University of Tennessee, Knoxville.
The University of Tennessee, Knoxville (UTK), under U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) subcontract managed by Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), have been performing large scale laboratory testing of con"ned and uncon"ned concrete blocks (simulating a typical reinforced concrete member found in light water reactor nuclear power plants).
The objective of this benchmark test case is to perform predictive numerical simulations of two large-scale reinforce concrete blocks (with dierent boundary conditions) and compare the simulation results with the already collected monitoring data.
2.3.4.1 Description Geometry The laterally-con"ned reinforced concrete reactive specimen, referred to as CASR (C for con-
"ned), is cast inside a rigid steel frame while a similar reinforced concrete reactive specimen, referred to as UASR (U, for uncon"ned) is allowed to expand without lateral restraints. A third specimen, non-reactive, referred to as CTRL, for control, is also not subjected to lateral restraints. See summary in Table 2.1 All three specimens of dimensions, 136 x 116 x 40 (length, width and height; x-y-z axis), i.e., 3.453 m x 2.946 x 1.016 m, Fig. 2.21 are reinforced near the top and the bottom faces by two welded layers of orthogonal rebars: (22) #11 bars (1.41 nominal diameter, cross section area: 1006 mm2 ), (10) in one direction and (12) in the perpendicular direction, placed in horizontal planes - See Fig. 2.21(d) for layout. Rebars are made of standard carbon steel. Square plate heads (4 x 4 x 1, i.e., 10.16 cm x 10.16 cm x 2.54 cm) are welded to the rebar extremities. The concrete cover, in the least distance to the concrete outer surface, is 3 (7.62 cm). There is no reinforcement in the third, i.e.,
vertical, direction, to the exception of (6) #11 debonded rebar spacers placed inside of pipes to allow free vertical expansion during the test.
Steel Con"nement Frame The steel plate girder frame was designed with the primary goal of maximizing stiness in bending. In order to achieve this goal, 3 thick plates, height 34, were chosen as "anges to the plate girder. These "anges are connected by three 2 thick web plates, length 210. All steel was manufactured from A572 Grade 50 steel plate. Design of splice plate connection not provided here is available upon request.
In order to reduce frictional eects between the steel frame and the concrete specimen, a single layer (thickness: 1.5 mm) of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) was introduced at the interface, provid-ing a low steel-HDPE friction coecient estimated by the vendor around 0.3 and unilateral contact conditions.
Additional Post-tensioned system Four threadbar post-tension bars (2 in each direction, 2.5 inches dia.)

Casting and Curing Casting took place July 23rd 2016. In an attempt to mitigate potential crack sources other than ASR, the formworks were insulated by placing rigid foam sheathing insulation with an R-value of three around the side and on top of the specimens, shortly after pouring. The insulation was placed with edges overlapping and secured in place with tape and plastic wrap.
All formworks were removed on August 4, 2016. Each large specimen and concrete cylinder, for further materials testing, was covered with wet burlap to prevent moisture loss. The burlap was periodically moistened as required to keep the concrete surfaces wet.
A few days after casting, the bottom support is removed, and the concrete block is vertically supported RILEM TC 259-ISR Prognosis of deterioration and loss of serviceability in structures aected by alkali-silica reactions

Operation A modular environmental chamber was designed by Norlake Scienti"c with the initial primary goals for temperature and humidity control being 100o F +/- 2o F (38o C +/- 1o C) and 95% +/- 5%. The chamber was initialized for full operation early morning August 19, 2016.
The chamber is periodically shutdown for inspection on a average frequency of 2 days per month.

Target mix design The mix design has been extensively investigated at the University of Alabama, and the one retained, including a reactive and a control mix, is shown in Table 2.2 with 1 (25 mm) maximum size aggregate (MSA) composed of Green schist - muscovite, chlorite, quartz, Na-feldspar, K-feldspar, calcite, and, cristobalite.
In this mix, only the coarse aggregate is reactive. A 50% sodium hydroxide solution (NaOH) is used to increase the alkali loading of the reactive mix to 5.25 kg.m3 , and a 30% lithium nitrate solution (LiNO3) is used at 150% of the manufacturers recommended dosage to mitigate ASR for the control mix.

- 1. Horizontal displacement of point A (x ) versus time (increments of one month).
- 2. Maximum (positive) principal stress ((1) ) in the wall versus time.
- 3. Crack pro"les at t = [5, 10, 20, 30] years 2.3.5.2.2 Dynamic Perform a 3D dynamic analysis, for a harmonic intensifying dynamic excitation, shown in Fig. 2.27(c),
assumed to occur at age t = 20 years. Assume a 5% Rayleigh damping. Report
- 1. Time of failure (may be de"ned when the analysis failed to converge).
- 2. Time displacement curves for point A starting with the AAR displacement that occurred at time 20 years, until failure (as de"ned by the user) occurs.
- 3. Maximum (positive) principal stress ((1) ) in the wall versus time.
- 4. Deformed shapes and crack pro"les at 1 sec. increment (starting with t = 0) until reported failure.

3 Results Submission and Workshop 3.1 Excel "le for Results All results should be entered in the accompanying spreadsheet, Fig. 3.1. Note that the spreadsheet contains all available experimental data to facilitate "ts, and participants must enter their prediction within the prede"ned cells and for the speci"ed time increments. All cells are protected except those which can be overwritten by participant data.
This will greatly facilitate comparison of results, as a separate Matlab program could extract results from all submissions and results compared.
3.2 Workshop A RILEM workshop will be held in conjunction with the annual 2018 RILEM TC-259 committee to discuss results.
