Abstract

Abstract: This experimental study involves the examination of magnetized water on the workability and strength properties of the concrete. The water is magnetized in static treatment process with two different strengths of magnetswith 0.986 and 2 Tesla. The water exposed to magnetic fieldis used in concrete on replacing ordinary water it results to increasethe workability and mechanical properties of the concrete. The compressive, split tensile and flexural strength tests wascarried using 24hour magnetized water in production of concrete. Concrete made with magnetized water possess higher strength than concrete made with ordinary water. The extent of the study is to improve the nature of the water according to the standards and reduce the water-cement ratio thereby reduce the utilization of cement content and porosity of the concrete.
