Influence of Marine Water on Compressive and Flexural Potency of M30 Grade of Concrete

The compressive and flexural potency of concrete that are casted and cured in both fresh water and marine water have been studied experimentally in this study. According to IS 10262:2009, the concrete mix design for M30 grade was completed. It was discovered that the mix composition was 1:1.662:2.356 with a W/C ratio of 0.44. Using fresh water and marine water, concrete cube case gauging 150 mm x 150 mm x 150 mm and beam case gauging 100 mm x 100 mm x 500 mm were cast. Additionally, both freshwater and saltwater water are used to cure these cast specimens. These specimens are tested for compressive and flexural potency values at 7, 14, and 28 days following the end of curing. According to the findings, specimens casted and cured in marine water displayed elevated compressive and flexural potency values than specimens cast and cured in fresh water
