Abstract

This study involves the investigation of influence of magnetic water on the workability and compressive
strength of concrete. The water is initially magnetized with the help of 3hp motor having a Bluemax Technology magnet
at its inlet pipe. Both the Physical and chemical properties of water is Tested for PH, Alkalinity, Acidity, Hardness,
Chloride tests are conducted for samples are then prepared and casted with magnetic water and ordinary water in four
different cases. About 72 concrete cubes of size 150x150x150mm,18 cylinders of size 300mm height, 150mm diameter
and 18 Beams of size 500x100x100 mm are casted for M20, M30, M40 grade and tested for compressive strength, split
tensile strength and flexural strength for 7, 14, 21 and 28 days respectively. This study is aimed to compare the strength
of concrete in Magnetised and Normal water by performing tests like compressive strength, split tensile strength and
flexural strength.
