Natural Mineral for Improving Concrete Compressive Strength

Several concrete additives have been innovated for improving concrete quality. In this research work the treated kaolin by heat has been used as concrete additive. Kaolin was subjected to the heat for 1 hour in different degree of temperatures. The crystal structure of Kaolin thermally is modified u...

The crystal structure of Kaolin thermally is modified under heat and microstructure of the hydrated samples has been investigated using FESEM.

And if 12% additive is used the concrete compressive strength increased in same level on 7 days. This concrete additive reduces construction cost and time.
