Abstract

Sulfate resistance of mortar specimens with or without alkali-free accelerator exposed to sulfate solutions for 360 days was investigated. Test results confirms a negative effect of alkali-free accelerator on the sulfate deterioration, irrespective of attacking sources. Based on the ASTM C1012 expansion test, the experimental findings demonstrated that higher $C_3A$ content in cement led to the higher expansion, especially in the mortar specimens with alkali-free accelerator.
