    The document summarizes the results of a geotechnical study for a construction site. Chloride content at the site was found to be 0.86%, falling under exposure category C2 according to AC-318-19. This corresponds to a water-cement ratio of 0.4, minimum compressive strength of 35 MPa, and cement content of 370 kg/m3. Alternatively, according to EN206 the site falls under category XS1, requiring a water-cement ratio of 0.5, minimum compressive strength of 30 MPa, and cement content of 300 kg/m3. The conclusion recommends a water-cement ratio of 0.4, minimum compressive strength of 35 MP

    Extract from Geotechnical Study Report:

    1) Chloride content is 0.86% (max). From past experience in Gulf region, the exposure category
    fails under C2 of AC-318-19. Which corresponds to:

    w/cm = 0.4

    fc’=35 MPa

    cement = 370 kg/m3

    OR

    2) However, as per EN206 the site falls under category XS1.


    It cannot be XS2 as groundwater level as per Geotech report is not encountered within 15m
    depth.
    As per EN206. The XS1 the concrete protection is the following:

    w/cm = 0.5

    fc’=30 MPa

    cement = 300 kg/m3

    CONCLUSION:

    Water cement ratio : 0.4

    Minimum compressive strength (fc’), normal weight and lightweight concrete, MPa : 35
    (cylindrical )

    Type of cement : Type V OPC (as per ASTM C150)+ pozzolana /silica fume as per CL No
    R.19.3.2 of ACI318-14

    Admixtures : To be checked with AMEA Power/DNV practice (as per experience ACWA it was
    not allowed to use admixture)

    Concrete Surface protection: Minimum protection like 2 coats of bitumen minimum

    Cement = 370 kg/m3

    Rebar shall be epoxy coated Rebar to take care of further corrosion protection.
