Abstract

Weathering of sulfide-bearing aggregates in concrete causes the release of sulfate ions that can react with cement components to yield expansive products. The extent of the sulfate attack of the paste is controlled by the composition and size of the aggregate, the kinetics of sulfide oxidation, the composition of cement and mix proportioning of concrete. The extent of sulfate attack has been successfully simulated using a combined kineticthermodynamic approach
