Abstract
Nowadays, most structures are made of concrete. However, due to violation of construction rules, corrosion would impose high costs on structures even shortly after being completed. The present article seeks to study the reaction of concrete containing Sirjan pozzolan and concrete samples containing Sirjan cement in environment of Oman Sea. Accordingly, concrete samples containing Hormozgan Cement (type II) and 0, 10, 15, 17 and 20% of Sirjan pozzolan replaced for cement with water to cement ratios of 0.40 and 0.35 were studied being exposed submerged and tidal environments of Oman Sea for 3 months. The 7, 28 and 90 days tests of compressive strength were performed on these samples. In the present study, the obtained results of conducted tests on all samples are compared with each other and samples’ reactions are investigated regarding their compressive strength loss.
