General

6 - Has your State/ Province experienced unexpected concrete cracking/deterioration problems?

7 - Has there been an assessment of the causes of the deterioration?

1. Any that are attributed to alkali-silica reactivity (ASR)?
       Yes     No     Not sure
2. If yes, what type of assessment was performed?
3. What type of testing was performed?

8 - If you've determined that the cracking/deterioration is attributed to ASR, is the reaction widespread or localized?

1. If localized, what areas of your State/Province are affected? and, who in the district, region, or area is the contact person?
2. Can you provide the Team with any surveys, reports, or studies on the ASR problem you've encountered?
3. How long after construction did the cracking/deterioration occur?
4. What detection techniques are being used?

9 - What steps or techniques are used to remediate ASR caused cracking/deterioration in new and old construction? Are you testing and/or treating the aggregate? if so, how? Are you using low-alkali cement, blended fly ash/cement, fly ash, silica fume, or ground granulated blast-furnace slag for mitigation?

10 - How long have the techniques been implemented?

1. Are your current ASR mitigation techniques affective? Why or why not?

11- What if any, specifications address ASR in your State/Province? Can you provide a copy?

12 - Does your agency offer programs or training on detection, prevention. and remediation of ASR to Personnel within your agency?

13 - Would you be interested in additional information on ASR? What types of information would you be interested in?
