Sulphate resistance of air entrained mortars with admixture of fly ashes

The effects of entrained air on sulphate resistance of fly ash blended cements mortars long term immersed in Na2SO4 solution were investigated. The expansion strains and decrease in strength of air entrained mortars were faster than those of non-air entrained ones. It was found with SEM and XRD anal...
