LITERATURE REVIEW ON SELF COMPACTING CONCRETES CONTAINING METAKAOLIN

The cement and fine aggregate are the most commonly used materials for concreting, plastering and masonry work. The use of Metakaolin can be used as a partial replacement material for cement in the production of concrete where service environments, exposure conditions or life cycle cost considerations define the use of Self Compacting concrete. Metakaolin is used in concretes to improve the compressive, flexural strength and reduces the permeability of the hardened concrete. In this paper an overview on the literature on mechanical and durability behaviour of self-compacting concrete with partial replacement of cement by metakaolin is carried out based on recent research studies
