Abstract
The objective of this work was to determine the effect of sulphate attack (MgSO4) on resistance in concrete made with Portland cement type I, MS and V with f'c= 110kg/cm2 using river aggregate; the specimens were exposed to three levels of sulfate attack: insignificant, moderate and severe according to Reglamento Nacional de Edificaciones. E.60. After carrying out the experiments, it was obtained that the simple concrete made with type V cement presented a greater resistance to sulfate attack, since its reduction rate on average is 0.59%, for type MS it is 3.06% and for type I it is 21.40% with respect to the specimens without exposure to sulfate.
