Influence of selected additives and admixtures on underwater concrete and the environment

Abstract

The intensive civilization development has an influence on searching for new possibilities connected with extension of city agglomerations, both the areas of flat building and the industrial areas. One of the most interesting solution is to use water reservoirs, rivers and sea areas. The extension of buildings has an influence on building materials, especially hydrotechnical, which means development of production of hydrotechnical concrete. Water structures are usually the objects of huge dimensions exposed to extreme conditions. In most cases those buildings are very specific and complicated. They require an individual approach to concrete mix design and should be monitored by measurement technologies supported by automated numerical examinations. Nowadays health monitoring systems are applied to large variety of engineering structures including underwater concrete objects. In order to get the needed quality of hydrotechnical concrete mixtures, special additives and admixtures need to be used. The material properties of underwater concrete can also be improved by using polymer and steel fibers in different content and different length. Majority of areas are built of concrete, that is why we need to be aware of admixture influence on the environment and living organisms. The attempt to evaluate the description of different kinds of hydrotechnical concrete as potential habitation of water organisms, was indicated in this paper.
