As a major aspect of concrete durability, the related research on sulfate erosion has a history of more than 100 years. However, due to the differences between experimental simulation methods and actual engineering exposure conditions, it is still considered that the research status of concrete sulfate erosion is a “chaotic”. Starting from reality, this paper systematically analyzes the relationship between actual concrete structures and the external environment and the engineering examples. Aiming at half buried and fully buried in two kinds of exposure methods in actual projects, a series of more practical indoor experiments are designed and carried out. The paper puts forward the corresponding concrete sulfate erosion mechanism.
