This paper introduces a study carried out to investigate sodium sulfate attack caused by various reactive products. Experiments were performed on mortar and paste specimens made with ordinary Portland cement (OPC) conforming to KS L 5201 Type I. The water-cement ratios were varied from 0.35 to 0.55. It was found from the laboratory study that the water-cement ratio may be a key to control the deterioration of OPC matrix during sodium sulfate attack. Furthermore, X-ray diffraction (XRD) confirmed that ettringite, gypsum and thaumasite were the main products formed by sodium sulfate attack. These findings were well supported by thermal analysis through differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and confirmed the long-term understanding that deterioration mechanism by sodium sulfate attack is a complicated process. Most importantly, deterioration due to sodium sulfate attack is characterized as the drastic reduction in compressive strength as well as the expansion (especially in cement matrix with a higher water-cement ratio).

황산염침식을 방지하기 위하여 포틀랜드시멘트 중의 황산염침식 저항성이 우수한 시멘트를 선정하기 위한 연구의 일환으로 황산나트륨 용액에 360일간 침지한 후 모르타르의 역학적 특성 및 기기분석을 통하여 침식 특성을 평 가한 결과, 외관조사, 강도감소 및 길이변화에 따른 성능저하 순서는 보통 포틀랜드시멘트 >내황산염 포틀랜드시멘트 > 저열 포틀랜드시멘트 순으로 나타났다. 포틀랜드시멘트의 주요 반응생성물은 Calcite 피크 이외에도 황산염과의 반응으 로 인한 Gypsum, 에트린자이트 및 Thaumasite로 확인되었다. 포틀랜드시멘트의 경우 시멘트의 조성광물 비에 따라 성 능저하 형태가 상이하게 나타났다. 특히, C3A량과 칼슘실리케이트비가 가장 적은 저열 포틀랜드시멘트가 황산염침식 저 항성에 매우 우수한 것으로 확인되었다.

This paper presents an experimental study of the sulfate resistance of mortars and pastes exposed to sodium sulfate solutions up to one year. In order to check deterioration modes due to sulfate attack, the sodium sulfate solution was varied at three concentration steps (3,380, 10,140 and 33,800 ppm of $SO_4^{2-}$ ions), and maintained at ambient temperature. The tests include a visual examination, expansion and compressive strength loss measurements as well as x-ray diffraction tests. The experimental data indicated that the use of cement with a low $C_3A$ content and low silicate ratio has a beneficial effect on the sulfate attack of mortars. In contrast, the mortars with a high $C_3A$ content and high silicate ratio became severely degraded due to the formation of ettringite, gypsum and/or thaumasite in the cement matrix.

This paper has numerically investigated the changes of loading-induced stress in concrete with the corrosion time in the sulfate-containing environment. Firstly, based on Fick's law and reaction kinetics, a diffusion-reaction equation of sulfate ion in concrete is proposed, and it is numerically solved to obtain the spatial and temporal distribution of sulfate ion concentration in concrete by the finite difference method. Secondly, by fitting the existed experimental data of concrete in sodium sulfate solutions, the chemical damage of concrete associated with sulfate ion concentration and corrosion time is quantitatively presented. Thirdly, depending on the plastic-damage mechanics, while considering the influence of sulfate attack on concrete properties, a simplified chemo-mechanical damage model, with stress-based plasticity and strain-driven damage, for concrete under axial loading and sulfate attack is determined by introducing the chemical damage degree. Finally, an axially compressed concrete prism immersed into the sodium sulfate solution is regarded as an object to investigate the time-varying stress in concrete subjected to the couplings of axial loading and sulfate attack.

Among artificial intelligence-based computational techniques, adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference systems (ANFIS) are particularly suitable for modelling complex systems with known input-output data sets. Such systems can be efficient in modelling non-linear, complex and ambiguous behaviour of cement-based materials undergoing single, dual or multiple damage factors of different forms (chemical, physical and structural). Due to the well-known complexity of sulfate attack on cement-based materials, the current work investigates the use of ANFIS to model the behaviour of a wide range of self-consolidating concrete (SCC) mixture designs under various high-concentration sodium sulfate exposure regimes including full immersion, wetting-drying, partial immersion, freezing-thawing, and cyclic cold-hot conditions with or without sustained flexural loading. Three ANFIS models have been developed to predict the expansion, reduction in elastic dynamic modulus, and starting time of failure of the tested SCC specimens under the various high-concentration sodium sulfate exposure regimes. A fuzzy inference system was also developed to predict the level of aggression of environmental conditions associated with very severe sodium sulfate attack based on temperature, relative humidity and degree of wetting-drying. The results show that predictions of the ANFIS and fuzzy inference systems were rational and accurate, with errors not exceeding 5%. Sensitivity analyses showed that the trends of results given by the models had good agreement with actual experimental results and with thermal, mineralogical and micro-analytical studies.

It has been well known that concrete structures exposed to chloride and sulfate attack environments lead to significant deterioration in their durability due to chloride ion and sulfate ion attack. The purpose of this experimental research is to evaluate the resistance against chloride ion and sulfate attack of the cementless concrete replacing the cement with ground granulated blast furnace slag. For this purpose, the cementless concrete specimens were made for water-binder ratios of 40%, 45%, and 50%, respectively and then this specimens were cured in the water of $20{\pm}3^{\circ}C$ and immersed in fresh water, 10% sodium sulfate solution for 28 and 91 days, respectively. To evaluate the resistance to chloride ion and sulfate attack for the cementless concrete specimens, the diffusion coefficient for chloride ion and compressive strength ratio, mass change ratio, and length change ratio were measured according to the NT BUILD 492 and JSTM C 7401, respectively. It was observed from the test results that the resistance against chloride ion and sulfate attack of the cemetntless concrete were comparatively largely increased than those of OPC concrete with decreasing water-binder ratio.

본 연구는 농도조건을 달리한 시험용액에 침지한 모르타르의 내구성을 평가하기 위하여 수행되었다. 3종류 시멘트 모르타르를 제조한 후, ${SO_4}^{2-}$ 이온의 농도가 4225, 8450, 16900 및 33800 ppm인 4종류 황산나트륨 용액에 540일간 침지하였으며, 침지재령별 압축강도 및 선형팽창을 측정하므로써 모르타르의 황산염침식 저항성을 실험적으로 평가하였다. 실험결과에 의하면, 고농도 황산나트륨 용액에 침지한 모르타르 공시체가 가장 심한 성능저하 현상을 나타내었다. 특히, 고농도 환경에서 모르타르의 팽창 특성은 사용된 시멘트의 $C_3A$량과 직접적인 관련이 있었으며, GGBS를 대체한 SGC 모르타르는 조직구조의 투수성이 상대적으로 낮은 탓으로 인하여 시험용액의 농도조건에 관계없이 우수한 황산염침식 저항성을 나타내었다.

하수도, 오 폐수, 토양 속, 지하수 및 해수 등의 환경에 건설되는 콘크리트 구조물은 산 및 황산염에 노출되어 있다. 이 같은 산 및 황산염 침투로 포틀랜드 시멘트 중의 수화생성물과 산 및 황산염 이온이 반응하여 팽창 수화물을 생성함으로써 콘크리트에 팽창 및 균열을 발생시켜, 결국 콘크리트 매트릭스에 손상을 일으킨다. 따라서 이 연구의 목적은 콘크리트의 황산 및 황산염 침투 저항성에 미치는 광물질 혼화재의 영향을 평가하여, 황산 및 황산염 침투에 대한 고저항성 콘크리트를 제시하는 것이다. 이를 위하여 광물질 혼화재의 형태 및 비율을 변화시킨 OPC, 2성분계 및 3성분계의 3가지 종류의 시멘트를 사용하여 물-결합재비 32% 및 43%인 콘크리트를 제조하였다. 제작된 콘크리트 시편은 민물, 5% 황산, 10% 황산나트륨 및 10% 황산마그네슘 용액에 재령 28, 56, 91, 182 및 365일 동안 각각 침지시켰다. 콘크리트의 황산 및 황산염 침투 저항성을 평가하기 위하여 외관변화 관찰과 압축강도 비 및 질량 변화율을 측정하였다. 그 결과, 광물질 혼화재를 혼입한 콘크리트의 황산 및 황산나트륨 침투에 대한 저항성은 OPC 콘크리트 경우 보다 훨씬 우수한 것으로 나타났으나, 황산마그네슘의 경우 비결합재질의 규산마그네슘수화물(M-S-H)의 형성으로 광물질 혼화재를 혼입한 콘크리트가 OPC 콘크리트보다 불리한 것으로 나타났다.

The report of an investigation into the performance of mortar specimens made with recycled fine aggregate (RA) exposed to sodium sulfate solution for 360 days is presented in this paper. Mechanical properties of mortar specimens such as visual examination, compressive strength, expansion and mass loss were periodically monitored. From the test results, it was found that mortar specimens with higher replacement levels of Rh exhibited poor performance in sodium sulfate solution. However, compared to mortar specimens without RA, those with lower replacement levels of RA (up to 50% by mass) was more resistant to sulfate attack. Through the x-ray diffraction analysis, it was confirmed that the main products causing sulfate deterioration in RA mortar specimens were the formation of gypsum and thaumasite.
