Abstract

In this study, different mixtures containing Zeolite, Metakaolin and their combination with each other have been tested and the results have been compared with the control sample. Experiments include compressive strength, water absorption, water permeability, electrical resistivity, accelerated diffusion (migration) of chloride and corrosion.
