Abstract EN
The intention of this study is to discuss the variation of concrete exposed to high sulfate environment of a specific region with respect to strength and durability.
Secondly, it is aimed to discuss the possibility of reducing the cement amount in construction of concrete structures.
For this purpose, laboratory tests were conducted to investigate compressive strength and sulfate resisting capacity of concrete by using 20% fly ash as mineral additives, waste materials, instead of cement.
As a case study the soil samples, received from Siirt Province areas which contain high sulfate rate, have been compared with respect to sulfate standard parameters of TS 12457-4.
In such regions contact of underground water seep into hardened concrete substructures poses a risk of concrete deterioration.
In order to determine the variation of strength and durability for concrete exposed to such aggressive environment, the samples were rested in a solution of Na2SO4 (150 g/lt) in accordance with ASTM C 1012 for the tests.
As a result of this experimental study, it is noted that the use of 20% fly ash, replacement material instead of cement, has no significant effect on compressive strength of concrete over time.
