Abstract: Recently the deterioration of concrete caused by sulfuric acid attacks in sewage and waste water treatment plants has been reported. As a countermeasure against this kind of deterioration, acid resistant cementitious materials using multiple mineral admixtures such as blast furnace slag, fly ash and silica fume have been developed. In this study, the effects of the use of mineral admixtures on concrete deterioration due to sulfuric acid attack were investigated. From the experimental results, the deterioration of concrete caused by sulfuric acid attacks can be divided into two stages. In the first stage, sulfuric acid penetrates into concrete and reacts with calcium components to product gypsum, resulting in the expansion of concrete. In the second stages, the expansion of concrete exceeds an allowable limit, and the erosion of concrete begins. The experimental results also showed that there were linear relationships between the CaO content in the binder and the period of the first stage, and between the CaO content and the erosion rate.
