Effect of Replacement of Cement by Fly Ash and Metakaolin on Strength Properties of Concrete
Keywords:
Cement concrete, Metakaolin, Fly ash, Compressive Strength, Split tensile strength.Abstract
An experimental investigation was carried out to understand the effects of partial replacement of cement by fly ash and metakaolin of M50 grade concrete mix. A control specimen was prepared by using OPC 43 grade cement. Improvement in compressive strength and split tensile strength was observed with the replacement of cement by 15% fly ash and metakaolin at 5%, 10%, 15% and 20%. An increase of up to 35.8 % in compressive strength and up to 51.5% split tensile strength was observed.
