Abstract
Rate and degree of sulphate attack depend on concentration of sulphate present, type and availability of sulphate ion, accessibility of water and type of cement and quality of concrete. Preventive measures: use of sulphate-resisting cement, low water-cement ratio, minimum cement content, air-entrainment, waterproof coatings, drainage features, reinforcing cover. -- ICCROM
