Abstract:
In this project sulfur concretes were prepared. The optimum of casting temperature, weight percent of sulfur cement and weight percent of filler were analyzed, so that better corrosion resistance could be found. It is observed, the optimum sulfur is 15% for sulfur concrete samples with 21% sulfur cement; the optimum filler is 10-15% with 18% sulfur cement and finally the optimum filler is 10% for concrete samples with 15% sulfur cement. The casting temperature for concrete with 15-21% sulfur cement is in the interval of 127-150°C could be achieved. By applying the relation between the optimum filler percent and the content of sulfur cement and choosing a suitable temperature for casting samples with high corrosion resistance several Giga ohm were achieved. In the test of applying anodic voltage with amount of 30 V, concretes in the 3.5% salt water solution showed the highest resistance to cracking up to 1840 hours. In the most resistance samples corrosion potential calculated to approximately 1.4V.
