Sulfate resisting cementConcrete
Ready-mixed concrete suppliers are using combination cements where fly-ash or ground granulated blastfurnace cement (ggbs) is combined at the mixer with Portland cement (CEM I) to provide sulfate resistance. For the bagged market factory produced cements incorporating fly ash or ggbs that are suitable for sulfate conditions are now available.

Test Methods for Resistance of Concrete to Sulfate Attack
Sep 20 2012 · Abstract. Sulfate attack comprises a series of chemical reactions between sulfate ions and the components of hardened concrete. As these reactions may lead to cracking spalling or strength loss of concrete structures appropriate test methods are needed to determine the resistance of concrete under sulfate exposure.

Sulfate AttackSlag Cement
The use of slag cement reduces the likelihood of sulfate attack in three ways Slag cement does not contain C 3 A so its addition in concrete dilutes the total amount of C 3 A in the system. Slag cement reduces concrete permeability making it harder for sulfates to penetrate into concrete.
