SULFUR-IMPREGNATED CONCRETE, SIC

THE IMPREGNATION OF HARDENED, DRY SPECIMENS OF PORTLAND CEMENT CONCRETE WITH MELTED ELEMENTAL SULFUR INCREASES THE COMPRESSIVE STRENGTH BY A FACTOR OF 2.7. THE COMPRESSIVE STRENGTH OF SULFUR-IMPREGNATED CONCRETE (SIC) WITH 8.4 PERCENT SULFUR BY WEIGHT IS 174 MN/M SQ (25,300 PSI). DUE TO THE LARGE SURPLUS OF SULFUR AND THE LOW PRICE, SIC MIGHT BE A USEFUL ALTERNATIVE TO POLYMER-IMPREGNATED CONCRETE. THIS WORK HAS BEEN SPONSORED AT THE CONCRETE RESEARCH LABORATORY KARLSTRUP, DENMARK.
