SYNOPSIS

Unlike normal concrete, concrete exposed to marine conditions (seawater attack) requires special attention and need to be engineered.

Concrete exposed to seawater is more susceptible to sulphate and chloride attack which will lead to concrete deterioration and reinforcement corrosion.

This seminar will discuss about:

1. The requirements to specify marine concrete based on EN 206, BS 6349-1-4
2. Test to verify the durability of the concrete
