Comparative Study on the Properties of Fresh and Hardened Concrete Using Metakaolin as Partial Replacement

Abstract This study examines the impact of metakaolin as a partial substitute for concrete, analyzing fresh and hardened concrete characteristics. We integrated metakaolin, a pozzolanic substance known for its ability to enhance strength and durability, at various replacement ratios (0%, 5%, 10%, 15%, and 20%) to assess its impact on workability, compressive strength, tensile strength, flexural strength, and resistance to chemical aggression. The workability of fresh concrete went down as the metakaolin content went up. On the other hand, as the metakaolin content went up, the compressive strength, flexural strength, and resistance to acid and sulphate attacks all went up in hardened concrete, though the tensile strength went down a little. The results demonstrate that an ideal metakaolin substitution of around 10–15% can provide significant durability advantages without markedly diminishing workability or tensile strength. This work provides a fundamental understanding for engineers to improve the designs of concrete mixes, especially in situations where chemicals are present.
