 DEFINITION

 Most under water concrete is mixed on the

surface in the conventional manner and
then placed under water by one of a variety
of methods. Properly mixed concrete is a
stable material with a density of more than
twice that of water.
 INTRODUCTION

 Concrete is the premier construction

material across the world and the most
widely used in all types of civil engineering
works.
 During the construction of bridge, dams or
any other structure where the foundation
part of the structure is lie under water, we
have to option for under water
construction.
 When concrete is placed under water , it
 There for should be follow proper mix
design , concrete production and
placement and quality control.
 PRODUCTION OF UNDER
WATER CONCRETE
 Proper mix design
 Proportioning under water concrete are
same as conventional concrete.
 According to its performance there are
two classes of concrete mixture
o standard mixture
o high-performance mixture
• concrete placed under water is susceptible to
o cement washout
o laitance
o segregation

 mix design also influence by rheology

o it describes flow and deformation of
materials. The behavior of fresh concrete can be
described by two parameters-yield stress and
plastic viscosity
• water content is the important factor
affecting the rheology of concrete

• water content in a mixture can be

classified into two categories

1) Water absorbed in the aggregate

2) Free water
 PLACEMENT METHODS
1) Tromie method

2) Pump method
3) Toggle bags

4)Bags work
 MAINTENANCE
o Maintenance procedure consists of
initial inspection, deterioration
prediction, inspection, evaluation and
remedial measures.

o During construction the engineering as

well as social and economical aspects
should be required.
o Adequate protection from corrosion can
be achieved by using anticorrosion or
protective products.

o By placing concrete carefully spilling of

concrete can be avoid up to an extend.
