Abstract
Long-term field and laboratory investigation into sulphate resistance of concrete was started in 1970. Samples of various types of concrete were buried in a sulphate-bearing soil in three replicate plots designed to be excavated after 5, 15 and 25 years. The installation was controlled by BRE and British Cement Association (BCA - formerly C & CA). This report gives the results of testing the specimens taken from the site after 15 years of exposure and of testing cubes taken from sulphate solutions after storage for periods of up to 15 years.
