It can perform by several methods such as using lightweight aggregate or chemical agents. In this research chemical curing agent is used to produce SC. This paper reports the results of a research study conducted to evaluate the effect of sulfates on the performance of self-curing concrete compared to ordinary concrete. Samples are immersed in sodium sulfate Na2S04 solution of 4% concentration. Results are measured in terms of compressive strength, tensile strength, flexural strength and mass loss. It was found that the rate of strength loss is noticed at ordinary concrete compared to SC concrete. Sulfate resistance is improved when using self-curing concrete. This improvement appears to be dependent on using a chemical curing agent.}, type={Artykuły / Articles}, title={Beton samo-utwardzalny skażony siarczanem}, title={Self-curing concrete under sulfate attack}, URL={http://journals.pan.pl/Content/84085/mainfile.pdf}, keywords={samoutwardzalny, glikol polietylenowy, siarczan, trwałość, beton, Self-Curing, Polyethylene Glycol, Sulfate, durability, Concrete}, }
