Mixing salt water with concrete is not advised. The concrete will not set up properly and will crumble very easily.
The amount of salt water you get will depend on the concentration of salt in the water. When you mix salt with water, the salt dissolves into the water to increase its volume slightly. The overall volume of the salt water will be the sum of the volumes of the original salt and water components.
just add salt to fresh water
You create a solution of the salt in water.
Dissolving salt in water creates a saline solution (salty water).
If you mix water and salt and leave it for a week, the water will evaporate but the salt will remain. As the water evaporates, the salt crystals will gradually become more concentrated. Eventually, you will be left with a solid mass of salt crystals.
The concrete mix should be a 5:1 Cement to water ratio. make sure you mix thoroughly when adding water. Look up "Concrete slump test"
As a member of the Chartered Institute of Architectural Technologists I am often asked this question when the surface of someones concrete path or ramp starts to break up. Most builders will use a general mix of concrete for a path or ramp and as soon as people put salt on it in winter will blame the owner as salt will damage general concrete. As it is not unreasonable for people to put salt on an icy path or ramp then the builder should have used a road grade concrete as roads don't generally break up after salting in winter. The concrete mix should be stronger and have a higher water:cement ratio, more cement and less water. Normally builders will work the concrete bringing water to the surface; this leaves a very weak mix on the surface that will break up very quickly. Concrete should not be over worked to leave mini air bubbles in the concrete and to stop water from coming to the surface. In extreme conditions air entrained concrete should be used.
Concrete :- a mix of cement, sand, water, and gravel. Mortar :- a mix of cement, sand, and water

salt water
You get salt water.
It is quite easy to mix salt water and fresh water, which produces a more dilute form of salt water.
The water should be added last. All the aggregate materials and the cement should be thoroughly mixed before the water is added.
Concrete mix is made from (sharp)sand, cement, aggregate and water. The ratios depent on the usage
no
Concrete is what you make a sidewalk from. To make concrete, you mix Portland cement, sand, gravel (aggregate) and water. The cement holds the aggregate together.
Water is added to concrete mux because without it, the mix could not stay moist long enough for it to get spread and leveled. <><><> Adding water starts a chemical reaction when the concrete CURES (not dries) into a solid mass. No water, your mix sits there as a dusty mix of sand, aggregate, and Portland Cement. Too much water, and your finished concrete will be of low strength.
