A Research on Investigation of Various Properties of Metakaolin Based Concrete
Journal Title: International Journal of Trend in Scientific Research and Development - Year 2020, Vol 4, Issue 6
Abstract
Concrete is probably the most extensively used construction material in the word .However, environmental concerns both in terms of damaged caused by the extraction of raw material and co2 emission during cement manufacturing have brought pressure to reduce cement consumption by the use of supplementary material. The utilization of calcined clay, in the form of metakaolin MK in the concrete has received considerable attention in recent years . On this, subject, an experimental investigation on cement concrete using metakaolin has been conducted. The cement is replaced with 10 , 15 , 20 , and 25 metakaolin by weight of cement. Concrete cubes and beams are tested at the age of 7 days and 28 days. The study focuses on the compressive strength and flexural strength performance of the blended concrete containing different percentage of metakaolin .In addition, evaluation of durability properties like soundness, abrasion resistance, and impact resistance is also included in the study. The strength performance of metakaolin –concrete is compared with the performance of plain concrete. The results of the study show that the strength development of concrete blended with metakaolin is enhanced. The 20 replacement with metakaolin is found to be the most efficient replacement leading to maximum enhancement in the strength and durability properties of concrete. Ajay Sharma | Er.
