This paper presents data on engineering properties such as compressive strength, visual change and expansion of mortar specimens incorporating limestone filler subjected to severe sulfate attack at ambient temperature. Specimens with four replacement levels of limestone filler (0, 10, 20 and 30% of cement by mass) were immersed in sodium and magnesium sulfate solutions with 33,800 ppm of SO42− concentration. In order to identify the products formed by sulfate attack, microstructural analyses such as XRD and SEM were also performed on the paste samples with similar replacement levels of limestone filler.The test results demonstrated that mortar and paste samples incorporating higher replacement levels of limestone filler were more susceptible to sulfate attack irrespective of types of attacking sources. However, the deterioration modes were significantly dependent on the types of sulfate solutions. Additionally, although the samples were exposed to sulfate solutions at 20 ± 1 °C, the deterioration was strongly associated with thaumasite formation in both sulfate solutions.The deterioration mechanism and resistance to sulfate attack of cement matrix incorporating limestone filler at ambient temperature is discussed in the light of the test results obtained.
