Abstract

Extensive research work for decades also is in progress throughout the globe in concrete technology in finding alternative materials which can partially or fully replace ordinary Portland cement (OPC) and which can also meet the requirements of strength and durability aspects. Amongst the many alternative materials tried as partial cement replacement materials, the strength, workability and durability performance of industrial by products like flyash, blast furnace slag, silica fume, metakaolin, rice husk ash, etc., now termed as complimentary cementitious materials (CCM) are quite promising. In this paper the evaluation of Metakaolin for use in Concrete is done.
