Abstract: Sulphate attack or commonly known as acid attack is having adverse effects on conventional concrete. Granite powder concrete also faces the same problem. Sulphate attack reduces the compressive strength of concrete and thereby it affects its durability. In practice to avoid sulphate attack effect on conventional concrete generally use of sulphate resisting cement is preferred. With reference to literatures listed below, GGBS is a by-product from the blast furnaces used to make iron and possess binding properties as cement, we have replaced cement partially (15%,25%,35%of cement by weight) by GGBS and concrete specimens are casted for M30 grade conventional concrete and for granite powder concrete . Curing is done for 7days in normal condition and for acidic condition some specimens are cured for 7days & others is cured for 28 days, this helped us to distinguish the short term & long term effects of sulphate attack on GGBS granite powder concrete concrete
