Sulphate Resistant Concrete
Sulphate Resistant Concrete
(OP)
Dear All,
I'm looking for an alternative to using Type V cement on a project. The soluble sulphates are as high as 1.9% and chlorides vary between 8-22%.
I've looked at various waterproofing additives but they tend to make very generalized statements about "improved chemical resistance".
Another option is the use of Silica Fume but again from my research I am only able to get general comments.
Has anyone had any success using an alternative and or details for using silica fume?
Thanks

The use of sulphate resistant concrete with chloride attack is generally contraindicated.
