Abstract: This study includes detailed information of the compressive resistance of the hardened normal concrete mix (NSC) are exposed to crude oil products for the period (180 days). The study also deals with conducting Non-Destructive Tests (NDT) for a ground foundation in one of the oil sites and knowing the influence of crude oil on the compressive resistance. The results showed that the compressive strength of the NSC mix is decreasing where it lost about (17.35 and 20.20%) compared with reference NSC mix after exposure to crude oil products (kerosene and gas oil), respectively. The results of the nondestructive testing of the actual size floor slab at the site showed that the compressive resistance of the area exposed to crude oil lost about (56.02%) compared with the unexposed area at the age of 7 years.
