Abstract
In this paper, the current status of standards 1) for specifying cement-based materials to prevent deleterious reactions with external sulfates and 2) or predicting the performance of concrete exposed to external sulfates. The applicability and reliability of these standards are discussed and deficiencies in them noted. Recommendations for the development of improved specifications are presented.Proceedings Title
