Effect of Magnetized Water on the Properties of Concrete

Concrete is the majority of widely used man-made building material As water is one of the major ingredients of concrete which leads to more consumption of water. In this research study, the effect of magnetized water on properties of concrete was studied, in order to obtain operative concrete at a lower cost. The magnetized water was prepared using the magnetic treatment system. Five concrete mixes were prepared, one without magnetized water and four with. The Compressive strength of M25 concrete cubes and split tensile strength of concrete cylinders are tested. From the results it is concluded that the compressive strength increased up to 25% for magnetized water of 48 hours for curing of 28 days. The split tensile strength for magnetized water for 48hours also increased to 25 % than conventional concrete. It is also concluded that water consumption also reduces when water is magnetized compared to normal water.
