Abstract :
The study was conducted to determine the effects of using MK7003 as a partial replacement material for OPC on the compressive strength of concrete. The study was further enhanced by studyingthe effects of varying the water binder ratio. Replacement level of 5%, 10% and 15% by weight of OPC in the control concrete were considered while maintaining water binder ratio at 0.47. Another study was conducted by varying the water binder ratios qf 0.35, 0.45 and 0.55 while maintaining MK7003 content at 10% by weight. From the study it was found that increasing the level of MK7003 has a significant increase in the compressive strength qf concrete but as the water binder ratio is increased the compressive strength of concrete will decrease.
