  Objectives:The main focus of our experimental investigation is to study the behavior of a pier based on variations in compressive strength due to partial replacement of cement with metakaolin in order to attain maximum stiffness and strength, so as to withstand the shear forces, bending moments and other related structural response parameters efficiently. Analysis: The round and rectangular specimens were prepared by replacing cement with metakaolin up to 15%. The samples were tested after 7 and 28 days. Findings: Study reveals that with the replacement of 10% metakaolin in both circular as well as rectangular moulds, there is an increase in the load carrying capacity approximately about 19%, when compared with plain reinforced concrete moulds after 28 days. The most important finding is that the replacement of cem.. Read More»
