Abstract
This paper describes the sulfate resistance of cement pastes and mortar with or without ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBS). Sulfate attack was performed on the cement pastes and mortar, which had been prepared by using a water-binder ratio of 0.45. Variables were the fineness levels of GGBS and the concentrations of two sulfate solution. In this present study, compressive strength and length change were carried out to evaluate the sulfate resistance of GGBS with various fineness levels. From the test results, it can be concluded that the deterioration modes of cement matrix with GGBS were dependent on the exposure solutions. Moreover, the influence of fineness levels of GGBS on the sulfate resistance was somewhat little because of a relative short exposure period.
