Which type of cement is typically used for underwater construction? A) Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) B) Rapid Hardening Cement C) Sulphate Resisting Cement D) Blast Furnace Slag Cement
Added by Ricky M.
Step 1
Step 1: State the requirement — Underwater construction needs cement/concrete that sets and hardens effectively in water, is impermeable, resists chemical attack (chlorides/sulfates), and gives durable, low-bleed, non-segregating mixes (often used with anti-washout Show more…

Durability of concrete in Bahrain (35%) Write a technical note to the client detailing the durability concerns that may be associated with using reinforced concrete in this location: including details relating the main forms of attack of concrete, ways that the aggressive substances ingress into the concrete and requirements for the concrete to prevent problems from occurring (you can include here a discussion about appropriate cements for this environment, w/c ratio and any other factors that can improve the durability of the concrete to be used).

Background: You have been called in as a specialist consultant by the client to give guidance and provide some initial designs and recommendations on the design of a new concrete bridge to be built over a 24m wide tidal waterway in Bahrain. The client has the following requirements: • An internal support system of height 6m, is required providing two spans each of 12 m • The deck must be a minimum of 8m wide • The bridge must carry a factored live load of 60kN/m • Exposure conditions : Zone 5 (Ministry of Works Specification in Bahrain) – see appendix For each design you must specify a concrete mix and reinforcing regime that will meet the durability requirements. The client is keen for the project to be seen as “environmentally friendly” and sustainable. Furthermore, the client is a firm supporter of research and innovation and is favourable to the use of innovative technologies in the project.
