Abstract – World\\\\\\\'s sulfur annual production appears to be higher than its consumption. The highest production of sulfur is in oil and natural gas refineries. Mass volume production of sulfur has created some economic problems and environmental pollution. Therefore, offering new ways to use sulfur is the main need of sulfur producer industries. Recent studies show that making some prefabricated components such as walls, sewage pipes, etc. of the sulfur concrete, will resolve some of the problems of sulfur industry and other related industries. The present study was undertaken to study the behavior and properties of sulfur concrete and also the selection of the appropriate aggregate grading for sulfur concrete without admixture based on the most compact volume and maximum compressive strength. The fillers role in the mix design and aggregate influence on tensile and compressive strength, water absorption and resistance to acid attack was also addressed. The results show good behavior of sulfur concrete in comparison with cement concrete.
