How PH value of water influence in construction?
Tensile test is done on cylinder because only cylinders can be held under pure tension by applying a compressive load. That will only happen if it was under pure tension. If we take any other prismatic shape such as square cross section cylinder, the failure will be via compression but not tension.

The PH value is very important in construction activities, particularly for reinforced cement concrete as it is a composite material created with embedded steel bars. If the PH value of water is less than 7 which is the neutral value for good drinking water, then the water will be acidic. The cement concrete’s PH value for fresh concrete will be 12 to 13. This indicates that the concrete is alkaline which gives passivity to protect steel bars from getting corroded. If the water having less PH value than 6, it will start neutralizing the PH value of concrete from 12, to 7 and less, the long lasting alkaline passivity of concrete is considerably reduced, triggering the corrosion chmesity for steel and destroy the steel over a period.
