CHAPTER 4 53
CODE
4.2.3 — For concrete exposed to deicing chemicals,
the maximum weight of fly ash, other pozzolans, silica
fume, or slag that is included in the concrete shall not
exceed the percentages of the total weight of cementi-
tious materials given in Table 4.2.3.

4.3 — Sulfate exposures
4.3.1 — Concrete to be exposed to sulfate-containing
solutions or soils shall conform to requirements of
Table 4.3.1 or shall be concrete made with a cement
that provides sulfate resistance and that has a maxi-
mum water-cementitious material ratio and minimum
f¢ from Table 4.3.1
COMMENTARY
R4.2.3 — Section 4.2.3 and Table 4.2.3 establish limitations
fon the amount of fly asb, other pozzolans, silica fume, and
slag that can be included in concrete exposed to deicing
chemicals.“ Research has demonstrated that the use of
fly ash, slag, and silica fume produce concrete with a finer
pore structure and, therefore, lower permeability.”
R4.3 — Sulfate exposures
4.3.1 — Conerete exposed to injurious concentrations of
sulfates from soil and water should be made with a sulfate-
resisting cement. Table 4.3.1 lists the appropriate types of
cement and the maximum water-cementitious material
ratios and minimum specified compressive strengths for
various exposure conditions. In selecting a cement for sul-
fate resistance, the principal consideration is its tricaleium
aluminate (CA) content, For moderate exposures, Type TI
cement is limited to a maximum CyA content of 8.0 percent
under ASTM C 150, The blended cements under ASTM C
595 with the MS designation are appropriate for use in mod-
trate sulfate exposures. The appropriate types under ASTM
C 595 are IP(MS), IS(MS), I(PM)(MS), and I(SM)(MS).
For severe exposures, Type V cement with a maximum Cy.
content of 5 percent is specified. In certain areas, the CA.
