An Experimental Study on Concrete Strength and Corrosion Activity by Replacing Potable Water by Sea Water
S. Rajamuniasamy, S. Mercy, M. A. Raja, Praveen
Abstract: Several billion tons of water is annually used as mixing, curing and cleaning around the world, in concrete industry. As there is scarcity of fresh drinkable water around the world, so there is need to save fresh and potable water and hence possibility of using seawater as mixing as well as curing water should be investigated seriously. Additionally, if use of seawater as concrete material is permitted, it is very convenient and economical in construction.
Keywords: Potable water, compressive strength, accelerated corrosion, modulus of rupture
