Abstract: The durability of dredged marine sand concrete has been studied through testing different properties of concrete including acid resistance, chloride and sulphur attack, sorptivity and water absorption. Two types of concrete mix, i.e. M25 and M40 were used. The results showed that the dredged marine sand concrete has more resistivity to acid, sulphur and chloride attack. Also, it is less porous as compared to concrete containing natural river sand.
Keywords: dredged marine sand, sorptivity test, natural sand, concrete.
