A Study on Strength of Concrete by Partial Replacement of Cement with Metakaolin and Fine Aggregate with Foundry Sand

This study reports the potential use of granulated cement with Metakaolin and fine aggregate with Foundry sand from sterilite industries as a Partial replacement for sand and concrete. The effect of replacing fine aggregate by foundry sand and cement with Metakaolin on the compressive strength, split tensile strength and flexural strength of concrete are attempted in this work.The percentage replacement of fine aggregate by granulated foundry sand were 0%,10%,20%,30%,40%.. Required numbers of cubes, cylinders, beams were cast for grades of M30. Curing should be done for a period of 7,14, 28 days of hydration with partial replacement of cement with Metakaolin and fine aggregate with foundry sand by 7,14, 28days of curing has been done and the results have been compared to obtain the optimum replacement of foundry sand with fine aggregate and cement with Metakaolin.
