β¦ Synopsis
This paper deals with the attack of cement paste by MgSO 4 and MgCl 2 solutions.
The analysis of the pore structure using mercury porosimetry reveals distinct characteristics of both types of corrosion.
MgSO 4 is associated with the densification of the pore structure, whereas MgCl 2 corrosion is associated with the opening of the pore structure.
Mineral additives seem to protect somewhat 14d-cured cement paste against the MgSO 4 attack.
A longer initial cure is necessary as far as MgCl 2 attack is concerned.

Calculation of the solubility product constants for Ca(OH)2 and CaSO4.2H20 in pore solutions of hardened cement paste is used as an estimation of saturation. The treatment of solubility data using three models is discussed in this paper. These models are the Greenberg-Copeland model[l], the Brornley
