In recent years, deterioration of concrete structures of sewerage facilities due to sulfuric acid attacks has been progressing. Therefore, it can be concluded that the demand for sulfur-acid resistant concrete is extremely high. In addition, concerning recent global warming countermeasures, research and development is underway on low-carbon concrete that reduced cement, which emits a large amount of carbon dioxide during the manufacturing process. The purpose of this study is to develop low carbon concrete with high sulfur-acid resistance by replacing cement with large amounts of blast furnace slag and various admixtures. As a result, it was found that the sulfur-acid resistance was improved when using blast furnace slag fine powder and fly-ash. In particular, when cement content was 20% of binder by mass, it was confirmed that the sulfur-acid resistance was excellent. What is more, there was no loss in compressive strength. It was considered that almost Ca(OH) produced by hydration reaction of cement reacted with blast furnace slag and fly-ash, so the reaction of sulfur-acid and calcium hydroxide was suppressed.

The effect of Fly ash (FA) and ground granulated blast-furnace slag (GGBS) on sulfuric acid resistance of concrete has been investigated in this study. Cement was replaced by FA with the incorporation amount from 20% to 50% or by GGBS from 35% to 65%. Results indicate that with an increase in fly ash replacement amount, the sulfuric acid resistance of concrete was improved. Sulfuric acid resistance of concrete with GGBS was improved only when the replacement amount of GGBS exceeds 50%. The basic reason for deterioration of concrete in sulfuric acid is the degradation of C-S-H gel in matrix. Increasing the content of SiO2 in cement paste can improve the acid resistance of concrete.

The strength, expansion and amount of scaling of concrete with compound mineral admixture (CMA) from steel slag, granulated blast furnace slag and fly ash were studied. The result shows that damage by crystallization press from sulfate attack when concrete was exposed to sulfate environments under wetting–drying alternation is much larger than that from sulfate chemical attack. Adding CMA to concrete could reduce the damage from expansion of concrete caused by sulfate chemical attack, but the resistance of concrete to damage by crystallization press from sulfate attack was remarkably reduced.

Pre-stressed high-strength concrete piles (PHCP) are widely used in the building industry in China. The main aim of our research was to investigate the utilization of quartz powder, fly ash, and blast furnace slag as mineral additives to prepare PHCP mortar. The samples were prepared using steam and autoclaving steaming. The influence of minerals on the sulfate resistance of mortar was analyzed using X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and mercury intrusion porosimetry (MIP) tests. The results showed that when compared to single doped quartz powder samples, samples prepared using fly ash or blast furnace slag improved the sulfate resistance of the PHCP mortar. Furthermore, the resistance to sulfate attack of samples with dual doped quartz powder, fly ash, and blast furnace slag also improved. MIP tests showed that mineral additives can change the pore size distribution after autoclave curing. However, the number of aching holes increased after mixing with 20% quartz powder and caused a decrease in the sulfate resistance.

Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) concrete is one of the most widely used construction materials globally, though its production in construction has negative environmental impact. About 0.9 ton of CO2is emitted for every one (1) ton of cement produced. In order to reduce the amount of CO2emission from cement industry, the utilization of supplementary cementitious materials such as pulverized fuel ash (PFA), blast-furnace slag and natural pozzolans is common and effective. Geopolymer is an inorganic binder material and can be produced by a geopolymeric reaction of alkali activating solution with silica and alumina rich source materials such as PFA and blast-furnace slag. In this study, the durability of concrete such as the resistance to sulfuric acid and sulfate solutions due to the effect of blended as of PFA and palm oil fuel ash (POFA), along with alkaline activators were investigated. Consequently, the optimum mix design of the blended ash geopolymer (BAG) concrete and OPC concrete specimens were prepared with water to cement ratio of 0.5 by mass as control. The micro structural analysis by X-ray diffraction (XRD) was done. BAG concrete showed better performance in 2% sulfuric acid and 5% sulfate solutions. From micro structural analysis, it was evident that BAG binder gel (N-A-SH) produced more durable material compared with C-S-H binder gel of OPC. The BAG concrete is strongly recommended to be used as an alternative to OPC concrete in addition to its environmental friendliness. Abundant PFA and POFA can be efficiently utilized to produce a high performance concrete.
