| Reference | Test type | Compressive strength loss (%) | Tensile strength loss (%) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Marzouk and Chen (1995) | Compressive and Tensile | Up to 20%, for expansion rates found in engineering practice | 31–37% |
| Komar et al. (2013) | Tensile | – | 12–50% |
| Sanchez et al. (2018) | Compressive | 0.29–0.43%, for ASR combined with DEF | 30–60%, for ASR |
| Diab et al. (2021) | Tensile | – | ∼27% |
| Sobrinho (2012) | Tensile | – | 21–35% |
