“…By contrast, for high w/c ratios, between 28 and 180 days similar values are recorded. In other research [57] with direct exposure to marine environment it is found that this environment does not affect the compressive strength or porosity of concrete cast with sulphate-resistant cement.…”

“…The initial strength of seawater cured concrete is higher than that sweet water cured, which is favored by the water's temperature and presence of calcium chloride, but, in the long term, it becomes equal or diminishes [17,20,21].…”

The construction of caisson breakwaters dates from ancient times (Brindisi battle and Caesarea Maritima, Roman Empire) of yore but has evolved with regards to technology and the materials available at all times (wood, gravel, and rubble mound). The growth in draught in vessels searching for deep water depths for berthing plus environmental problems have led to the 20th century facilitating the boom in vertical types and concrete caissons built in different ways (dry and floating techniques). Furthermore, structural criteria gave way to functional, environmental, and aesthetic criteria. The search for new, more efficient forms led to the construction of increasingly more complex elements including many that still require an economically viable construction system. To where will this search for new materials and forms take us? The use of composite materials could be considered, at the moment, as too expensive, but analyzing the cost with a wider approach, as Life Cycle Assessment, shows us that caissons in composite materials are cost effective and could be a solution. Furthermore, the possibility of using recyclable composites opens up big opportunities of using these materials at affordable costs. Caissons in composites or recycled composites are then a real alternative to concrete caissons. In Spain, two examples can be observed: a berthing area in Canary Island (Puerto del Rosario, South Atlantic Ocean) and a crown wall in Cartagena using polyester fiber bars (Mediterranean Sea). European policy in matters of sustainability promotes the circular economy, which means not only consider construction of caissons in recycled composites should be considered but also the comparison of all materials and construction procedures. Lastly, the calculation of the Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) should be promoted.

“…Textile effluent was also tested in comparison to ordinary water for the strength of concrete [3]. Primary treated wastewater, secondary treated wastewater, car wash wastewater, sugar wastewater, seawater, and treated sewage water were compared with potable water and domestic water for concrete development [4][5][6][7][8][9][10]. The effect of quality of water on the compressive strength of concrete was investigated [11,12].…”

Impact Analysis of Water Quality on the Development of Construction Materials

This research dealt with the impact of the quality of the water source on the mechanical properties of construction materials. The mechanical properties of construction materials include compressive, tensile, and flexural strength. Water samples were collected from different resources, these samples were then synthetically investigated to identify and compare their quality parameters. After a detailed chemical analysis of water samples from three sources-wastewater, surface or canal water, and ground water-construction concrete material samples were prepared. The construction materials were developed with the same water-cement ratio, i.e., 0.60 for each concrete mix sample at two mix ratios-M1 (1:2:4) and M2 (1:1.5:3). Slump cone and compacting factor tests were conducted on the fresh concrete to determine its workability prior to its hardening. Then, at 7, 14, 21, and 28 days for each mix, tests for mechanical properties were carried out to determine the compressive, tensile, and flexure strengths. Results showed that the mechanical properties of the concrete made by utilizing wastewater and surface water were more noteworthy as compared to the concrete made by groundwater. This study will help in the production of concrete which depends on waste and surface canal water, even for large projects like rigid pavement construction and water-related structures.
