SULFUR CONCRETE--A NEW CONSTRUCTION MATERIAL

INVOLUNTARY LARGE SCALE PRODUCTION OF SULFUR AS A BYPRODUCT OF NATURAL GAS PRODUCTION HAS RESULTED IN RAPIDLY INCREASING CANADIAN INVESTORIES, THEY ARE EXPECTED TO REACH 22 MILLION TONS BY THE END OF 1975. WITH AN ASSURANCE OF LOW SULFUR PRICES DURING THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE IT IS NOW WORTHWHILE TO CONSIDER SULFUR CONCRETE FOR APPLICATIONS WHERE ITS UNIQUE PROPERTIES ARE ADVANTAGEOUS. THIS PAPER COMPARES THE PROPERTIES OF SULFUR CONCRETE WITH THOSE OF CONVENTIONAL CONCRETE AND DISCUSSES POSSIBLE ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF THIS NEW MATERIAL. SOME POSSIBLE AREAS OF APPLICATION ARE INDICATED. /AUTHOR/
