In Netherlands, most highway structures are concrete structures. However alkali silica reaction is mostly overlooked until 1995. Mostly, due to wide usage of high slag content concrete. Netherlands was confronted with the first large scale ASR-damage in A59 highway where 20 bridges were identified to be affected. Today there ongoing studies on these bridges and several other structures. Lately, (unofficially) the first structure was demolished due to ASR. PAT-ASR team got involved with this structure and did some petrographic analysis on the cores extracted from A bridge in Schoonhoven (Zuid-Holland Province).
Recently, we got in touch with Zuid Holland Province administration, who are eager to carry out studies on several structures which are supposed to be ASR affected. You can find more info about this possibly affected/suspected structures under investigation (and also find a map for the locations of these structures).
