  An Experimental Study on Effect of Seawater on Strength of M30 Grade Concrete

  By Akshat Dimri, Sandeep Gupta, V.K. Verma

  Abstract: The concrete structures constructed near the coastal areas may deteriorate due to the action of sea salts present in seawater on hardened concrete surface with passage of time. The strength decreases due to the formation of complex ions when chloride and sulphate ions, react with cement hydration products. In this study, experiments were carried out to get the effect of seawater on the strength of M30 grade concrete in laboratory …
