FLEXURAL BEHAVIOUR OF MAGNETIC WATER CONCRETE WITH VARYING DURATIONS OF MAGNETIZATION

Abstract

The present paper describes the use of magnetic water concrete with magnetic water of varying
intensities subjected to different durations of time. The magnetized water in the cement matrix behaves as a main
property which reduces the salinity in water. It also increases the strength because the magnetic water is used for
casting and curing. The voids in the concrete get reduced due to the heat of hydration(less surface area). Magnetic
water obtained from different intensities with 0.2T,0.4T, 0.6T magnetic water casting for 12hours,24hours normal
curing (28 days) , and also magnetic water casting with magnetic water curing for 12hours, 24 hours (28 days) on the
structural properties such as compressive strength , split tensile strength , flexural strength test. The replacement of
portable water with magnetic water rapidly increases the compressive strength of concrete. The magnetic water curing
promoting hydration of cement by controlling the temperature and moisture in this study it is found that the magnetic
water does not mean that water has been acquired magnetic strength but it has also been subjected to the magnetic
field.
