| Abstract: | Environmental concerns, stemming from high-energy demands and C02 emission associated with cement manufacture, have brought about pressures to reduce cement consumption through the use of supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs). Besides addressing environmental concerns, the incorporation of SCMs in cement bound materials and concrete can modify and improve specific concrete properties. Metakaolin (MK) in an important SCM which can enhance the performance of cementitious composites through its high pozzolanic reactivity. This study was carried out to characterize the materials and to assess the effect of Libyan metakaolin (LMK) on the mechanical properties including the compressive strength of cement mortar. |
