SULFATE ATTACK ON CEMENT-STABILIZED SAND. DISCUSSION AND CLOSURE

A discussion of a paper with the aforementioned title by R.S. Rollings, J.P. Burkes, and M.P. Rollings, published in this journal (Volume 125, Number 5, May 1999), is presented. The discusser presents descriptions and photographs of sulfate attack on conventional portland cement concrete that he observed in Las Vegas, Nevada. The discusser observed that Type V cement did not always protect against sulfate attack damage in the severe exposure conditions found in Las Vegas. Discussion is followed by closure from the authors.
