A Review of Water Absorption, Porosity and Sorptivity of Cement Mortar made with metakaolin and flyash partially replaced in cement cured in seawater

Abstract

In this present study the effects of flyash, metakaolin and their combinations has been evaluated for optimal level of replacement as blending component in cement. The results showed that the water absorption, porosity and sorptivity property of the mortor comparatively improved with flyash, metakaolin and their combinations than ordinary Portland cement mortor cured in seawater.
