Evaluation of Strength of Plain Cement Concrete with Partial Replacement of Cement by Meta Kaolin Fly Ash

Abstract

The present report deals with the effects of mineral admixtures, by partial replacement of cement, in terms of improved performance on compressive and flexural strengths. Experimental work was carried out to investigate the effect of Meta kaolin and Fly ash by partial replacing cement and keeping same water cement ratio to ordinary concrete & meta kaolin and fly ash. In this program we are going to construct 48 cube samples of size 150mmx150mmx150mm for different percentages of Meta kaolin and Fly ash with partial replacement of cement will casted and tested. The concrete mixes had 0%,5%,10%,15% of Fly ash and Meta Kaolin, replacing cement partially, so as to determine the best proportion, which would give maximum compressive strength. Beam specimens will casted and tested for their flexural strength. The dimensions of each beam will 750mmx150mmx150mm.The beams were tested on universal testing machine to verify their flexural strength after 7days, 28 days of curing with single point load. The results will compare with the beams of varying flexural strength of Plain Cement Concrete, Plain Cement Concrete with Meta kaolin & Fly ash.
