Abstract

When coupled with drying–wetting cycles, the deterioration process of concrete subjected to external sulfate attack (ESA) is significantly accelerated. The impact of moisture variations on ion transport was considered to establish a mass conservation equation with pore solution concentration as the variable. The contributions of chemical and physical attack to crystallization pressure were distinguished, and a bulk modulus reduction function was introduced to ascertain the stiffness deterioration. An ESA model was proposed and verified by comparing it to published experimental data, which could accurately predict the deterioration process of concrete under ESA and drying–wetting cycles.
