Abstract

This paper identifies the effect of Acid, Alkali and Salt attack on Glass fiber concrete and Normal concrete under different types of curing conditions. Normal curing, Polythene sheet membrane curing and Calcium chloride integral curing were used for this experiment. The period of exposure of these chemicals are 30, 60 and 90 days. The chemicals that are used for the experiments include Sulfuric acid (H2SO4), Sodium Chloride (NaCl) and Sodium Sulfate (Na2SO4). Concrete cubes were immersed in solutions containing these chemicals for different exposure periods and the strength loss were determined.
