Concrete, in construction, a structural material consisting of binding material, fine aggregate, coarse aggregate and water. Today construction cost is very high with using conventional material, due to unavailability of materials. This problem can be solved by replacement of concrete with different material which is not convenient in terms of required properties. Due to this limitation of unavailability of material which plays the vital role of concrete, we have only choice of partial replacement of concrete ingredients by different waste material and pozzolanic material.Today’s annual global cement production has reached 2.8 billion tonnes and is expected to increase to some 4 billion tonnes per year. The cement production also emits co2 into the atmosphere which is harmful to the nature. If we partially replace the cement with material having desirable properties then we can save natural material and reduce the emission of co2.In this experiment we will study the behaviour of concrete in which the cement will be partially replaced by Melakoalin.Metakaolin is a pozzolan, probably the most effective pozzolanic material for use in concrete. Metakaolin was successfully incorporated into the concrete with the original intension of suppressing any damage due to alkali-silica reaction. This study reports of an experimental study on mechanical properties of plain and M.K concrete, cement is partially replaced by M.K about (3%,6%,9%,12%) by weight of total binding material. Compressive strength, split tensile strength and flexural strength were calculated by replacing M.K with cement at the end of 7 days and 28days. It was found that partial replacement of M.K increases the compressive strength and split tensile strength of concrete up to 9% replacement of M.K and after that it decreases.The primary objective of this study is to get the quantity of Metakaolin for partial replacement of concrete for making concrete without compromising the properties of concrete.
