Abstract
Research results demonstrated that rating of sulfate resistance using different indicators is not simple and depends on the binder type and exposure temperature. The deterioration of mortar samples in sulfate environment can occur without noticeable expansion. Firstly surface degradation begins and then deterioration throughout the sample volume (loss in strength, decrease of UPV) occurs. The signs of deterioration occur quicker at +7 °C. Research results have showed that a significant positive effect of partial replacement of cement by FA for both PC and PLC was observed only at 20 °C. At +7 °C this effect is much weaker for normal hardening PC and there is almost no effect for rapid hardening PLC.
