Comparative study on strength, sorptivity, and chloride ingress characteristics of air-cured and water-cured concretes modified with metakaolin
Abstract This paper reports an investigation in which the performance of plain and metakaolin (MK)-modified concretes were studied under two different curing regimes. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of MK in enhancing the strength and permeation properties of concrete. MK was used to replace 0–20% of Portland cement by weight in concrete with two water-binder (w/b) ratios of 0.35 and 0.55. The change in compressive strength, sorptivity, and chloride ingress with age at all cement replacement levels under both air and water curing are compared with those of the control concrete. The results indicated that the inclusion of MK greatly reduced sorptivity and chloride permeability of concrete in varying magnitudes, depending mainly on replacement level of MK, w/b ratio, curing condition, and chloride exposure period. It was found that under the inadequate or poor curing, MK-modified concretes suffered a more severe loss of compressive strength and permeability-related durability than the plain concretes.
