Abstract

This paper presents durability of high volumes of Slag Concrete, exposed to Hydrochloric acid, Sulphuric acid and Sodium Sulphate. In the present investigation, high volumes of Slag Concrete of 100mm cubes of eight mixes were cast and cured for 28 days. The cubes were immersed in distilled water with 10% of Hydrochloric acid, 10% of Sulphuric acid and 10% of Sodium Sulphate separately. The durability studies of High Volumes of Slag Concrete were conducted at 28 days, 90 days, 180 days and 360 days. The results obtained are presented and compared between different mixes.
