In this study, it was shown that the resistance to sulfuric acid of mortar and concrete can be improved by using a blast-furnace slag fine aggregate to the total amount of fine aggregate. When mortar or concrete reacts to sulfuric acid, dihydrated gypsum film is formed around the particulate of the fine aggregate. This dihydrated gypsum film could retard the penetration of sulfuric acid, thus improving the resistance to sulfuric acid. However, the resistance to sulfuric acid depends on the hardness of the dihydrated gypsum film. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=JARIYATHITIPONGPaweena en-aut-sei=JARIYATHITIPONG en-aut-mei=Paweena kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name=HOSOTANIKazuyoshi en-aut-sei=HOSOTANI en-aut-mei=Kazuyoshi kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= en-aut-name=FUJIITakashi en-aut-sei=FUJII en-aut-mei=Takashi kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=3 ORCID= en-aut-name=AYANOToshiki en-aut-sei=AYANO en-aut-mei=Toshiki kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=4 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil= kn-affil=Research Engineer, Research and Development Labolatory, Landes Co.,Ltd affil-num=2 en-affil= kn-affil=Manager, Technology Center, Landes Co.,Ltd affil-num=3 en-affil= kn-affil=Assistant Professor, Division of Environmental Science, Graduate School of Environmental and Life Science, Okayama University affil-num=4 en-affil= kn-affil=Professor, Division of Environmental Science, Graduate School of Environmental and Life Science, Okayama University en-keyword=sulfuric acid attack kn-keyword=sulfuric acid attack en-keyword=blast furnace slag sand kn-keyword=blast furnace slag sand en-keyword=ground granulated blast furnace slag kn-keyword=ground granulated blast furnace slag en-keyword=gypsum kn-keyword=gypsum en-keyword=sewerage kn-keyword=sewerage END
