The Effect of Sea Water on Compressive Strength of Concrete
ijesi.orgKEYWORDS: Concrete, Sea water, Compressive Strength I. INTRODUCTION About 80 percent of the surface of the earth are covered by oceans; therefore, a large number of structures are exposed to sea water with high salinity either directly, or indirectly when winds carries sea water spray up to a few miles inland from the coast.
Quality of Water for Making Concrete: A Review of Literature
www.ijsrp.orgAll the impurities may not have adverse effect on the properties of concrete. The use of impure water for concrete mixing is seen to favorable for strength development at early ages and reduction in long term strength. Index Terms- Alkalinity, compressive strength, flexural strength, magnesium chloride, setting time, pH value. I. INTRODUCTION

Cold Weather Concreting & Review of ACI 306
www.cscos.com1. Concrete protected from freezing until it attains a compressive strength of at least 500 psi (3.5MPa) will not be damaged by exposure to a single freezing cycle (Powers 1962). 2. Where a specified concrete strength should be attained in a few days or weeks, planning and protection may be required to maintain the concrete temperature
CONCRETE BASICS A Guide to Concrete Practice
cementindustries.comConcrete that is sloppy or wet may be easy to place but will be more difficult to finish. A worker leaves footprints in setting concrete. Hardening State After concrete has set it begins to gain strength and harden.The properties of hardened concrete are strength and durability. Hardened concrete will have no footprints on it if walked on.
