TO STUDY THE EFFECT OF METAKAOLIN- POZZOLANIC MATERIAL IN CONCRETE STRUCTURE

Metakaolin pozzolanic powder is used in many civil engineering construction s in world. Metakaolin powder is act or work as binding material in concrete available in many different varieties and qualities. The purity of Metakaolin will show i ts binding capacity or free lime. Some of them also provide special reactivity. Metakaolin is a valuable admixture for concrete and o r cement applications. Usually we add from 5 % - 20% (by weight) of Portland cement replaced by Metakaolin in concrete . Such a concrete exhibits favourable engineering properties. The pozzolanic reaction starts from 7 to 28 days. For the preliminary investigation,Metakaolin and cement was subjected to physical and chemical analyses to determine whether they are in compliance w ith the standard use. The experimental analysis w ill be designed to study Metakaolin as a partial replacement with cement will done at 5%,10%,15%,20 % in concrete.
