Increasing the compressive strength of concrete is an aim which most researchers are looking for, using
various methods like fiber reinforcement in concrete mixture and usage of certain admixtures including super
plasticizers to produce high strength of concrete. The cost of these methods are not comparable with their advantages,
thus most researchers concentrate their attention on producing economical concrete with higher strength using new
philosophies in design methods and through modern techniques.One such technique is using magnetic water (MW) in
concrete. In this technology, by passing water through a magnetic field, some of its properties can change. Usage
ofmagnetized water in concrete mixtures results in development of workability and compressive strength of concrete.
Also, this processed water cause reduction in cement content required for specified compressive strength value.In this
work it is proposed to study the effect of different types of water (Structured and Non Structured) on compressive
strengths of different grades of concrete. The results of tests showed that, concrete made with magnetic water of
intensity 0.6T (24Hrs) (magnetic concrete), has higher compressive strength values than those of Conventional
Concrete cast with Non Structured Water.
