| Abstract: | Through many tests and standard analysis, the effects of solution concentration and temperature on rate of concrete sulfate attack were investigated. The test results show that when solution concentration and temperature are lower than certain value, the speed of attack is accelerated with increasing concentration and temperature, however, higher temperature and concentration of solution may decrease the rate of attack. The speed of attack of sodium sulfate is faster than the one of attack of magnesium sulfate under various factors. It is suitable to adopt the coefficient of tensile as the accelerated assessing criterion for the attack of sodium sulfate. The coefficient of tensile and compressive strength should be considered together for the attack of magnesium sulfate. |
