 ABSTRACT

INFLUENCE OF MAGNETIZED WATER ON CONCRETE WITH

M-SAND AS FINE AGGREGATE
Water plays an important role in concrete preparation. It plays an important role in the
workability and strength of concrete. A new technology known as magnetized water is
used to increase the workability and strength of concrete. The magnetized water
technology was initiated in Russia and China for agricultural and other medical values
and now it extends its application to the construction industry. Magnetic water has been
used in different fields like health care, dairy production, agriculture and oil industries.
In this study, the effect of magnetized water on workability, strength and quality of
M20 grade concrete with M sand as fine aggregate was studied. Magnetized water is
prepared by passing the normal tap water through the magnetic field . When water
passes through the magnetic field some of the physical properties of water changes.
The water clusters are broken due to the magnetic field and which will increase the
water activity. In this study magnetized water is used for both mixing and curing.
Different tests were conducted on four mixes.
The results obtained shows that workability is higher for mix with magnetized water.
The compressive strength is higher for the mix which used magnetized water for both
mixing and curing.
