quality of concrete. Note :- strength depends less on the chemical composition of the paste and more on the physical structure. Fracture mechanics approach Fracture mechanics is the formation of cracks at the interface of the paste due to the presence of flaws (in aggregates) discontinuities and pores.

Soil temperature Mineralization of sulfur is severely impeded at 10°C‚ increases with increasing temperatures from 20° to 40‚ and decreases at temperatures >40°C.This temperature effect on sulfur mineralization is consistent with the relatively greater sulfur content of soils formed in northern climates. Soil moisture Mineralization of sulfur in soils incubated at low (<15%) and high (>40%) moisture levels is reduced compared to the content of 60% of field moisture-holding capacity. Gradual moisture
