AbstractAfter World War II, in order to minimise the significant cement deficiency (caused by the demand of restoration works and prestigious capital investments of the governing regime) a clinker saving cement mix named ‘Sigma Cement’ was produced in Hungary. The patent lay in replacing the coarse clinker particles with limestone powder. Under the effect of waste gases from the nearby railway station and rubber plant the structural concrete of the largest Hungarian Sports Stadium suffered significant damages due to carbonisation and sulphating in which thaumasite sulphate attack may have played its role.
