| Summary: | This paper launches the study on how the sulfate particle and chloride ions interact to impact the concrete durability. It is analyzed that there is a diffusion law of two particles in concrete, whether the concrete presents corrosion resistance and permeability as contacts with them. The findings reveal that the content of chloride ions decreases with the deepening of the concrete profile. The presence of sulfate ions does not break up the diffusion trend of chloride ions in concrete, but in the case when Cl- and SO42- act together, the content of chloride ions at a constant profile depth is less than that under the action of a single Cl-. When sulfate ions permeate the cement, they will react with hydrate product of cement to generate new chemical substances that fill the inner pores of the cement, thereby suppressing the diffusion of chloride ions. The higher the concrete water-binder ratio, the lower the compression strength; the more inner pores, the weaker its resistance to chemical attack. When mineral admixtures are added to the concrete, the sulfate ions can react with the hydrate products of the cement and mineral admixtures to generate new crystals that largely fill the original pores in the concrete and make it more compact. In this way, the concrete corrosion resistance is built up. Concrete gets most vulnerable to sulfate attack at an ambient temperature of 21-24°C, and relieved at 30- 35°C. Lower relative humidity, high temperature environment are the decisive factors that accelerate the concrete erosion.
