Abstract

In the modern world, chemical or mineral admixtures have been used in place of cement as well as an additional binding ingredient in a number of research initiatives. The newest development in concrete technology involves adjusting many factors in both fresh and hardened concrete. Fresh concrete has the following qualities: wet density, workability, slump, compactability, heat of hydration, flowability, and pumpability. Hardened concrete has the following properties: hardness, permeability, density, and water absorption. The aforementioned characteristics can be altered by adding the proper admixtures. Several research have been done on water quality and concrete mixed with different admixtures. Furthermore, research is being done on how they affect altering the properties of concrete. In this study fly ash was added as substitute for cement in the following percentages: 0%, 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, and 60%. If desired, silica fume can also be added as an extra ingredient to concrete. The Konaseema District of the South Indian state of Andhra Pradesh, namely the Odalarevu, is the research area for this project. The brackish nature of the groundwater in this location makes it unsuitable for drinking or use in the manufacturing of concrete. An investigation of the influence of groundwater on durability and strength properties of concrete has been carried out. Furthermore, the concrete was built using water that had been cleaned, and its strength was evaluated. Measurements of the half-cell between the steel and the specimen’s surface are regularly taken in order to evaluate the degree of corrosion. A technique that accounts for both the rate of corrosion and the allowable reduction in reinforcement diameter has been proposed for calculating a structure’s service life.
