  • Maintenance of ASR-Affected Structures in Hokuriku Expressway, Japan
    Maintenance of ASR-affected Structures in Hokuriku Expressway, Japan Mamoru Moriyama1, Masahiro Nomura2 Abstract Increasing amounts of deicing salts have been used to ensure the safety of road surfaces in Hokuriku district, Japan. Sodium chloride, which accounts for the majority of deicers, has been causing damage to road concrete structures due to alkali-silica reaction. This report describes the current state of maintenance and repair techniques of these road structures affected by deicer-related alkali-silica reaction. Introduction Increasing amounts of deicing salts have been used to ensure safety of road surfaces in Hokuriku district, in Japan. The deicers used in this area have been mainly of sodium chloride (NaCl) type. In addition, the structures alongside the Japan sea coastline are subjected to monsoons, which increase its exposure to airborne chlorides from the sea. Therefore, these natural conditions set the road structures of the Hokuriku district in a permanent saline environment. As the effect of this chloride supply, the cases that alkali-silica reaction (ASR) deteriorates road structures have been increasing. On the other hand, river gravels and river sands have been used as concrete aggregates for a long time and these aggregates have been found in seriously ASR-affected structures. ASR has occurred mainly in structures primarily built from 1970 to 1985, a time when high alkali cement had been produced in Japan. Over the course of time, reactive river sands and gravels may not be properly assessed since these aggregates contain a wide variety of rock types, as well as different types and contents of reactive minerals. Central Nippon Expressway Company has covered the sections from Kinomoto IC (Shiga Prefecture) to Asahi IC (Toyama Prefecture) in Hokuriku Expressway and Oyabe-tonami JCT (Toyama Prefecture) to Shirakawago IC (Gifu Prefecture) in Tokai-Hokuriku Expressway, a total of 300km (9-39 years in service).
