Effect of Water Quality on the Strength and Durability Characteristics of Concrete

  • Unique Paper ID: 151840
  • PageNo: 964-964
  • Abstract:
  • Water used for mixing concrete, exceeding the tolerable limits of impurities, may affect not only the concrete strength and durability but also setting time, soundness, efflorescence. Experimental studies were carried out in the present investigation to assess and analyse the influence of various individual substances such as sodium chloride, sodium sulphate, potassium chloride, calcium chloride, magnesium chloride, magnesium sulphate, calcium carbonate, magnesium bi-carbonate, hydrochloric acid, sulphuric acid, sodium carbonate and sodium bicarbonate on setting times, compressive strength development of Concrete.
