Abstract
The study investigated the effect of seawater as mixing and curing water on the corrosion of steel bars in concrete. The mixing and curing water combinations of purified water(nw) and seawater(sw) used were nwsw and swsw. The corrosion rates in mm/year were determined using Weight Loss Analysis. It was found out that the use of seawater in mixing did not affect the corrosion rates of the steel bars. It was also found out in this study that there was no significant difference in the corrosion rates for specimens with 0.50 and 0.60 water-cement ratios. However, these findings only reflects results from limited taken the limitation stage of corrosion. Thus, further study on the potential of using seawater as a material in concrete mix is recommended.
