Degradation mechanism of slag blended mortars immersed in sodium sulfate solution

Wei Sun, Karen Scrivener

Additions of slag are usually considered to give cementitious materials which perform well in sulfate bearing environments. This paper compares the deterioration of slag cement blends to those of plain Portland cement and demonstrates that this occurs more ...
