Abstract:An investigation into the use of metakaolin (MK) and fly ash (FA) as partial cement replacements in concrete was conducted to enhance the sustainability of the construction industry. The MK and FA were incorporated into the concrete mix design by weight, replacing a portion of the portland cement content. The replacement percentages varied in two sets: 5%, 7.5%, 10%, 12.5%, and 15% for MK; and 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, and 25% for FA. Workability of the fresh concrete was evaluated using the slump cone test to identi… Show more
