ATTACK ON PORTLAND CEMENT CONCRETE BY ALKALI SOILS AND WATERS - A CRITICAL REVIEW

THE LITERATURE PERTAINING TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF SULFATE RESISTANT PORTLAND CEMENT IS REVIEWED. THE FIELD AND LABORATORY STUDIES CARRIED OUT BY SUCH ORGANIZATIONS AS THE NATIONAL BUREAU OF STANDARDS, UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA, PORTLAND CEMENT ASSOCIATION, ENGINEERING INSTITUTE AND NATIONAL RESEARCH COUNCIL OF CANADA ARE REVIEWED AND DISCUSSED. THE ACCELERATED TESTS PROPOSED FOR ACCEPTANCE AND SPECIFICATION PURPOSES ARE REVIEWED AS ARE HYPOTHESES ADVANCED TO EXPLAIN THE MECHANISM BY WHICH SULFATE DESTROYS CONCRETE. DATA OBTAINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH ASTM DESIGNATION' C452-64 ARE CORRELATED WITH 18-YR DATA FOR CONCRETE BEAMS EXPOSED TO SULFATE SOILS IN THE FIELD AT SACRAMENTO, CALIFORNIA. /AUTHOR/
