Abstract
Results of extended observations of concrete marine structures, along the Pacific Coast of the United States and Canada, are presented in this paper. No evidence is found of sea-water (sulfate of magnesium) attack on the concrete; where deterioration has occurred, it has been due to other causes. It is concluded from the uniform absence of sulfate attack in the wide range of concretes and cements involved in these structures that special precautions against sulfate attack are needless. It is concluded, however, that in sea-water concrete every care should be exercised to use sound materials, to obtain uniform density and impermeability of concrete, and to protect reinforcement from corrosion.
