Effect of magnetized water on workability and compressive strength of concrete

In this research study, the effect of magnetized water on workability and compressive strength of concrete was studied, in order to obtain operative concrete with high resistance and at a lower cost. Data were collected from previous studies and researches. The magnetized water was prepared using the magnetic treatment system. Four concrete mixes were prepared, one without magnetized water and three with. Cement reduction of 12.5 % and 25 % was imposed on the last two mixes with magnetized water. Slump and compressive strength tests were carried out on all four mixes and it was found out that concrete produced by the magnetic technology is easy to operate without affecting the compressive resistance of concrete. It was also found that magnetized water increases the compressive resistance of concrete while cement is reduced up to 25 %. (c) 2017 The Authors. Published by Elsevier Ltd.
