Abstract

The physical and chemical processes underlying the sulfate attack on concrete are briefly reviewed with special reference to blended portland cements containing natural pozzolans, fly ash, or granulated iron blast-furnace slag. Published literature contains empirical guidelines for evaluating the suitability of blending materials for sulfate resistance; however a critical examination shows that some of the guidelines are not satisfactory. Ideas for establishing a scientific basis for determining the sulfate resistance of blended cements are presented in the paper.
