Abstract Concrete is the main component for the construction purposes which provide strength to the buildings. Concrete is composed of fine and coarse aggregates bonded together with cement mixed with water in a fixed proportion that hardens over time. Compressive strength of a concrete plays a major role in construction of a structure. This paper investigates the impact of petroleum products on the properties of the concrete. Concrete produced in regions where petroleum products are exploited can have significant changes on the property of the concrete which can adversely affect the construction

INTRODUCTION
The main aim of this paper is to study about the changes occur on the property of the concrete with contamination of petroleum products to the concrete mix with fixed proportions. So that we could know the effect of petroleum products are how much negative on the properties of the concrete.
Oil spills in the Niger Delta have been a regular occurrence, and the resultant degradation of the surrounding environment has caused significant tension between the people living in the region and multinational oil companies operating there. It groups, the federal government, and the foreign oil companies operating in the area commenced steps to mitigate the impacts. Large areas of the mangrove ecosystem have also been destroyed.
It is necessary to find the impact of petroleum products (kerosene, petrol and diesel) on the strength as well as other properties of the concrete. This will help us to study if water contaminated with petroleum products is used in making a concrete structure then what will be the results to the properties of the concrete on the basis of percentage of contamination.

MATERIALS AND METHOD
Cement
Coarse Aggregates Fine Aggregates Water
Petroleum Products (kerosene, petrol, diesel)
In this paper, concrete cubes of grade M20, M25 and M30 are made, first with normal water and then by replacing the
water by 2%, 4% and 6% with petroleum products (Kerosene, Diesel and Petrol) then comparing the values of the strength of the plain and contaminated concrete blocks with each other with the help of compression testing machine to check the strength of the concrete before use for residential purpose, industrial purposes and also comparing the workability (by slump test) of concrete which tells about working time with concrete.

Compression tests are done on 3rd, 7th and 28th day after proper curing in fresh water.
2.1. Batching of the Constituent Materials
In general, concrete is mixed with the accurate proportion according to the nominal design as well as calculated mixed design. Batching is done in a quality control laboratory.
For batching of concrete properly coarse aggregates are further taken into two parts in which 60% aggregates are taken which are passing from 20mm size sieve and retaining on 10mm size sieve, and the remaining 40% aggregates are taken which are passing from 12.5 mm size sieve and retaining on 2.36 mm size sieve, Cement used was 43 grade ordinary Portland cement and fine aggregates

or sand are mixed in the mixer with water with a water cement ratio of 0.45.
1.1. Slump Test
The slump values of the concrete mix was achieved by the help of slump cone in the shape of frustrum with upper diameter as 100mm, bottom diameter as 200 mm and height as 300mm. It iis used for determine the workability of concrete . Workability determines the ease and homogeneity with which it can be mixed, placed, consolidated and finished.
2.2. Compression Testing
Compression testing is the main test done on concrete to determine the strength of the concrete. For compression testing Universal Testing Machine is use which is a machinery assembly which apply load on the concrete cube(of size 150mm * 150mm * 150mm) by 10 KN per minute.
Workability of the concrete mix is increasing with the increase of percentage of petroleum products.
Finally addition of higher percentage of petroleum products is leading to the segregation of the composition of the concrete i.e., Cement, aggregates, Sand which results in the collapse of slump.

Value of slump of concrete is increasing with the increase with amount of contamination of the petroleum products.
Strength of the concrete is decreasing with increase of amount of petroleum products.
Increase in contamination of purest form of petroleum product is bad for concrete.
Contamination of the petroleum products in concrete decreases the binding property of cement.
With the help of this research paper we have concluded that contamination of petroleum products in concrete is harmful for concrete.
