The alkalinity of water is 356 mg/l.

Is this correct for construction grade of concrete is M40 & M30.

PH value for construction purpose should not be less than 6 accordingly to IS:456:2000 as it induces corrosion in reinforcement.

The pH value of water shall be not less than 6. (clause 5.4.2, IS:456 2000).

Open IS 456 : 2000 code page:15 and find 5.4.3. It states that the pH value should not be less than 6.

I think C is correct answer.

Water which is fit for drinking is also fit for concrete. pH value should not be less than 6. It should be preferably around 7 i.e. neutral.

As the concrete is alkaline so limit of alkalinity is not mentioned in IS. But, it is better if it is in the range of 6.5 to 8.5.
