This reference book presents the theory and methodology to conduct a finite element assessment of concrete structures subjected to chemically induced volumetric expansion in general and alkali aggregate reaction in particular. It is limited to models developed by the author, and focuses on how to best address a simple question: if a structure suffers from AAR, how is its structural integrity jeopardized, and when would the reaction end.

Subjects treated are:
* Brief overview of AAR: nature of the chemical reactions, AAR in both dams and nuclear power plants, and how does it impact the mechanical properties of concrete.
* Constitutive model for both the AAR expansion, and concrete nonlinearities (both smeared and discrete crack models).
* Validation of the model along with a parametric study to assess what are the critical parameters in a study.
* Selection of material properties for an AAR finite element simulation, followed by applications in dams and massive reinforced concrete structures.
* Micro Model for improved understanding of the essence of the reaction, along with a newly proposed mathematical model for the kinetics of the reaction.
* Review of relevant procedures to estimate the residual expansion of a structure suffering from AAR, along with a proposed approach to determine when the reaction will end.

The book is extensively illustrated with numerous figures and provides guidance to engineers confronted with swelling in concrete infrastructures.

Introduction
Why is AAR expansion important to model, what is AAR, effects of AAR on mechanical properties of oncrete
Brief overview of other numerical models
Overview of Laboratory tests
Constitutive Model: Theoretical model, equations, constitutive driver
Micro-Model: Example of a micro model which simulates the expansion of an aggregate, and transition to a macro-model
Macro Model: How to prepare the relevant data prior to analysis, and how to conduct the numerical simulation
How to perform a Matlab based system identification to determine key AAR parameters
Sensitivity Analysis: Through parametric studies assess the importance of key parameters (such as what should be the smalles time step, how important is it to model temperature spatial and temporal variations)
Validation: Assessment of the model through simulation of simple laboratory tests
Case Studies: Two detailed case studies will be provided; a dam and a heavily reinforced massive concrete structure
Field Assessment: How to conduct the investigation of an existing structure known to suffer from AAR
