Abstract |
|
This Dissertation presents that when water is magnetised, it exhibits structural changes which increases the specific surface area of water. When this magnetised water is used in concrete instead of normal water, it is found that the compressive strength increases considerably. The additional strength attained by the use of magnetised water is used to address the need for reducing cement usage in concrete. In this attempt to reduce the usage of cement, fly ash which has immense potential to be used in construction industry, can be used to replace cement in concrete to a considerable extent. Based on the experimental results obtained by conducting tests on fresh concrete i.e. workability & compaction factor test, and test on hardened concrete i.e. compressive strength, flexural strength, split tensile strength for various grades of concrete i.e.M15, M20, M25, M30, M40 are achieved. |
