High salinity in cement means that by the time the composite material is formed i.e CONCRETE, the rate of degradation of a reinforced concrete structure would be faster and can affect the structural stability of a structure,these can also lead to the reduction of bond mechanism between concrete and steel reinforcement .

Abrupt hydration, may result  premature drying of concrete  after placement which  could be a cause for crack.
