Sulphate Resisting Cement:
This type of cement is also known as supersulphate cement. In this cement, the percentage of tri-calcium aluminate (C3A) is kept below 5 percent and it results in the increase in resisting power against sulphate attacks.
Following are the uses of sulphate resisting cement:
(a) That is used for canal lining in severe alkali conditions especially in the arid western regions.
(b) That is used for marine works, mass concrete jobs to resist the attack of aggressive water.
(c) That is used for works underside of bridges, over railway tracks and for concrete sewers carrying industrial effluents.
(d) That is used in the construction of reinforced concrete pipes and also for construction works to be done in sulphate bearing soils.
