This paper presents the results of an experimental investigation in wh
ich the effects of sulfates on the initial and final setting times of
ordinary portland cement and compressive strength of concrete are inve
stigated. It was observed that the type of sulfate and the ion concent
ration affect the setting times significantly; the increase in initial
setting time is more prominent. The parameters reduce the compressive
strength of concrete at different ages.
