Alkali silica reaction (ASR) is detrimental to concrete. It is a time-dependent phenomenon, which can lead to strength loss, cracking, volume expansion, and premature failure of concrete structures. In essence, it is a particular chemical reaction involving alkali hydroxides and reactive form of silica present within the concrete mix. Geopolymer is a type of alkaline activated binder synthesized through polycondensation reaction of geopolymeric precursor and alkali polysilicates. In this thesis, three types of reactive aggregates with different chemical compositions were used. Systematic laboratory experiments and microstructural analysis were carried out for the geopolymer concrete and the OPC concrete made with the same aggregates. The result suggests that the extent of ASR reaction due to the presence of three reactive aggregates in geopolymer concrete is substantially lower than that in OPC based concrete, which is explained by the pore solution change and verified through their microstructural variations and FTIR images.
