Concrete is a generally used material in building construction. The construction will be built on the ground and could also be in places exposed to sea water. Sulfate contained in ground water and sea water could cause sulfate aggression to concrete itself. Therefore, the research used Reactive Powder Concrete which is one of the concretes that is currently popular and has a high durability. The research was done by doing a constant repetition of saturated sulfate submersion and specimen abstersion. The varieties of specimen used along with the research such as Type I, Type II, and PCC variations of cements, also varieties fas 0.2 and fas 0.25. Research shown that Reactive Powder Concrete which is contained type II cement has the best resistance because the compressive strength does not reduced to 30% and the reduced weight is less than 1% when exposed to high concentration of sulfate.
