Development on the properties of concrete replacing Cement with metakaolin and silica fume

  Kamal deep,  Ravikanth Sharma

High strength concrete (HSC) May be defined as concrete with a specified characteristic cube strength between 60 and 100 N/mm2, although higher strengths have been achieved and used. The use of higher strength concrete in structures and bridges has become a common practice worldwide, Industrial by products such as Metakaolin and Silica fume are Used to increase the concrete. Physical and chemical properties of materials has been studied. M60 grade of concrete is designed as per IS10262:2009.Superplasticizers is used to reduce water cement ratio. Cement has been partially replaced by metakaolin and silica fume in order of 4%,8% upto28%. Totally 63 cubes and Cylinders are casted and compression strength and split tensile strength has been conducted for 7,14 and 28 days. These replacement were then compared with conventional concrete and partially replaced concrete.
