Abstract

Abstract: There are many concrete constructions in marine environments. Due to its salinity content, seawater is aggressive, both towards concrete and reinforcement. Concrete interacts with seawater which causes deterioration. The chemical attack occurs at least through 3 common mechanisms: sulfate-attack, carbonation, and chloride-induced corrosion of reinforcement. The chemical resistance of concrete is determined by the porosity and chemical composition of the concrete. Partly subsitution of cement with supplementary cementitious materials (SCM) known as an effective way to create the less permeable concrete. Concrete with fly ash as SCM has excellent potential to be applied to marine construction in Indonesia because the abundant availability of fly ash in Indonesia and the presence of aluminum species in fly ash provide an opportunity to increase binding capacity to chloride.
