Abstract :
This study presents a critical review of the on-going techniques and strategies associated with the mitigation of Sulphate Attack in High-Performance Concrete structures. The materials and methods used for controlling and detecting degradation due to Sulphate attack are presented with a state-of-the-art discussion of their relative merits and demerits. The expansive reactions that lead to the appearance of cracks, its propagation and deleterious effects on concrete members are presented.
