Seawater Absorption by Precast Portland Cement Concrete Containing Lightweight Aggregate

Abstract

The purpose of this investigation was to determine the bulk specific gravity of, and the percentage of seawater absorbed by, three precast lightweight concretes as a consequence of extended submersion in 66F seawater at simulated oceanic depths of 1 ft, 40 ft, and 350 ft (respectively, nearly 0 psi, 18 psi, and 155 psi hydrostatic).
