Sulfate Attack on Concrete provides a comprehensive reference to this important subject. It covers: a short history of concrete deterioration due to sulfate attack, the origin of sulfates in concrete, the importance of appropriate concrete processing, forms and physical-chemical mechanisms of concrete deterioration due to sulfates, preventative measures, standardisation and numerous case histories.

This book is an essential reference for industry practitioners involved in concrete science and engineering, and also for academics and researchers of materials science and concrete technology.

Reviews for Sulfate Attack on Concrete

The book is thoughtfully organized, beginning with a review of the importance of this widely used construction material and the possible causes of unsatisfactory physical behavior. ...the figures and photographs complement the writing well... ...the author's writing style makes it useful for upper-division undergraduate engineering students through industry practitioners. T. Burns, Cincinnati State Technical and Community College Choice December 2002. <br>
