Abstract:
The present studies examine the
performance of cementitious capillary crystalline
waterproofing coating(CCCW) with Saltwater. As Sri
Lanka is a developing country, many underground
constructions are being built in coastal areas. This paper
aims to review the waterproofing ability of coating on
concrete with water, saltwater and seawater. As the main
component of seawater is NaCl and the average salt
concentration of seawater is 35000 ppm, different
concentrations from 8750 ppm to 70000 ppm of saltwater
samples are examined. Additionally, a seawater sample is
examined as well. Existing results show that there is an
effect from saltwater.
