Abstract:Fresh concrete can significantly change the pH of water. To study the impacts, the pH of a few drilled shaft pours on Bear Creek near Zigzag (US Highway 26, MP 42.6) were monitored in order to aid discussion on future similar work. The concrete was placed in the concrete foundation shaft from the bottom up using a tremie tube. As the water/fresh concrete interface neared the surface, the pH of the water in the ditch near the shaft increased, as described in the next sections. In the image below, concrete had not yet been placed in the shaft (with rebar cage). Note that the groundwater level is near the surface of the shaft.
