Abstract
The durability of concrete constructions in aggressive media has been studied. We prepared samples of ordinary concrete
with different natural pozzolana content of beni-saf as a substitute for cement. The main objective of this experimental
work is to study the valorization of the natural pozzolana of beni-saf on the mechanical properties (compressive strength)
and the durability of concrete (corrosion) in the aggressive environment. Through experimental results obtained, we
conclude that beni-saf's natural pozzolana has a positive effect on mechanical properties and the effect is somewhat
acceptable for concrete durability especially in the long run.
