This paper aims to design a green and high-performance magnetic water concrete from normal materials used for manufacutring concrete. First, magnetic water was prepared by placing magnets into a beaker containing water of 985 Gauss magnetic field. Then, self-compacting concretes (SCCs) were produced with the optimal mix ratio of sulphate resisting cement (SRC), metakaolin, fine aggregate, coarse aggregate, micro steel fibers, super plasticizer and water. Next, a contrastive experiment was carried out between the SCC added with magnetic water, and that added with general water. The results show that the SCC prepared with magnetic water achieved a moderately better workability, 10% higher compressive strength, 5% higher tensile strength, and 6.74% lower price than the SCC prepared with general water. The research provides an innovative technique to build structures using high-performance material with low environment impact at a moderate price.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
