A common issue on the first-floor walls is the constant presence of efflorescence which is a dusty salt waste, frequently white like chalk. This happens when a humid environment (sulfated soil) dissolves calcium salts of concrete and migrate to the surface by capillarity. Now, a phenomenon like this could be fatal for the construction due to material demotion and also for human health. Nowadays, people repair these white things but they tend to reappear. There for, MS cement is used to prevent this to occur, but for highly aggressive environments additives are the best option, except for its price. That is why in this research, concrete cylinders and mortar beams of 2 designs were produced and analyzed. They were made up of fine and coarse aggregate, MS cement and asphalt emulsion (bituminous additive) of 0%, 10%, 20% and 30% by weight of the cement. Experiments like compressive strength and accelerated exposure to sulfates were fundamental to prove the viability of the proposal, ergo the optimum amount of emulsion. Furthermore, it was concluded that samples with 10% and 20% of asphalt emulsion can be functional for structural (foundations) and non-structural (overlays) purposes because of the reached compressive strength and compared to traditional ones it has better defense against sulfates.
