SAIRAJ {M.tech (Structural Engineering),MBA(Construction Project Management)} While salt water can be used in construction, it’s generally not recommended for mixing and curing concrete, especially for reinforced concrete, due to the presence of chlorides and other salts that can accelerate corrosion of steel. However, in certain situations, particularly where fresh water is scarce, seawater or treated seawater may be used, but with careful consideration of its impact on concrete strength and durability. Here’s a more detailed breakdown: Why Sea Water is Generally Discouraged: Corrosion: The chloride content in seawater can accelerate the corrosion of steel reinforcement within concrete, compromising the structural integrity of the building. Reduced Strength: While some studies show initial increases in strength due to accelerated hydration, the long-term strength of concrete made with seawater is generally lower than that of concrete made with freshwater. Durability Concerns: The presence of salts in seawater can affect the durability of concrete, making it more susceptible to damage from weathering, freeze-thaw cycles, and chemical attack.
