In the demanding context of desalination plant construction, ensuring the resilience and longevity of concrete structures becomes paramount, particularly in safeguarding against potential cracks and deterioration. This study delves into the intricate dynamics between water-cement ratios and silica fume concentrations, tailored to fortify the foundations of desalination plants against the corrosive effects of salt-laden environments. Exploring a range of silica fume concentrations, from 5% to 15% of the cement weight, and employing diverse mixing techniques, the research scrutinizes three distinct water-cement ratios: 0.40, 0.45, and 0.5.
