Current knowledge of external sulfate attack [PDF]
This paper offers an update of the current understanding of sulfate attack, with emphasis on the sulfates present in an external water source percolating through, and potentially reacting with, the cement matrix.

A Critical Review of Existing Test-Methods for External Sulfate Attack. [PDF]
External sulfate attack (ESA) of cementitious materials has been studied worldwide for a very long time. This physical/chemical interaction between sulfate ions and the cement hardened elements affects the long-term durability of concrete structures: cracking, spalling or strength loss of concrete structures.

Simulation of expansion in cement based materials subjected to external sulfate attack
The standard test for length change in hydraulic-cement mortars exposed to sulfate solution, ASTM C1012-95, has been widely used by researchers to study the sulfate resistance of cement based materials. However, there are deficiencies in this test method

New Methods for Assessing External Sulfate Attack on Cement-Based Specimens
This paper presents two original methods for monitoring and evaluating concrete specimens/structures affected by external sulfate attack (ESA). The first is a drying method developed to assess the penetration depth of sulfate ions in a concrete structure,

Microstructural Origins of Cement Paste Degradation by External Sulfate Attack. [PDF]
A microstructure model has been applied to simulate near-surface degradation of portland cement paste in contact with a sodium sulfate solution. This new model uses thermodynamic equilibrium calculations to guide both compositional and microstructure changes.

Resistance of Pastes from Carbonated, Low-Lime Calcium Silica Cements to External Sulfate Attack. [PDF]
This paper presents the results of a study on the evaluation of resistance of pastes from carbonated, low-lime calcium silica cements to external sulfate attack. The extent of chemical interaction between sulfate solutions and paste powders was assessed by quantifying the amount of species that leached out from carbonated pastes using ICP-OES and IC ...

Effect of Exposure Conditions on Mortar Subjected to an External Sulfate Attack. [PDF]
This study aims to investigate the influence of exposure conditions on the behavior of mortar subjected to an external sulfate attack (ESA). Three different exposure conditions (full immersion, semi-immersion, and drying/wetting cycles) were tested on mortar prisms made with Portland cement and two w/c ratios (0.45 and 0.6).
