Abstract
An exploratory test program was designed to determine the expansive po tential of portland cement mortar due to internal sulfate attack initi ally moist-cured at high temperature. Expansion of cement mortars made with six different portland cements was measured. The effect of diffe rent test parameters, such as, pre-storage time, curing temperature, t ype of sand, sand/cement ratio, specimen size and pre-treatment, on ex pansion behavior was determined.
