Abstract:
This Technical Note reports the outcome of a research project conducted by CCAA. In this project the performance of ten concrete mixes proportioned using five sulfate resisting cements complying with AS 3972 was evaluated. The results were examined in relation to long-term concrete exposure data. It also reviews current specifications for sulfate resisting concrete in the context of the research findings.
