Popis:	The effect of Sweileh sand (fine silica) addition to concrete mix on corrosion of steel in concrete was studied. Concrete cylinders were prepared with different Sweileh sand additions in which steel reinforcements were embedded. Samples were immersed in chloride solutions for 216 days; potentials of steel were taken according to ASTM C-876. Corrosion rate was calculated using weight loss measurements. It was shown that Sweileh sand addition decreased corrosion rate by noticeable amounts. Potential of the reinforcement increased as the addition of Sweileh sand has increased.
