In general, the increasing industrial activity and the rising cost of natural mineral resources, and forcing the ready mixed concrete industry to review the logistics of raw material supply. A review of literature pertaining to usage of salt water for concrete shows conflicting results. According to the technical report R306 on the effect of salt in compressive strength of concrete performed in 1964 at the US Naval civil engineering laboratory, compressive strength increases with salt content in water, reaching a maximum value between salt contents of 18g/kg to 36g/kg. A recent research conducted in India by P.Saravanakumar3 and G.Dinakaran3 concluded that salt content in water reduces compressive strength of concrete.
