Eco-friendly Concrete: Investigating Metakaolin and Steel Fiber Synergies

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: The construction industry's economy significantly impacts a country's growth.Utilizing waste materials like metakaolin and steel fibers can enhance concrete strength while reducing costs and environmental impact.Metakaolin, a pozzolanic waste material, and steel fibers, known for their strength-enhancing properties, are abundant and can be repurposed in concrete.This research investigates the combined use of metakaolin and steel fibers in concrete, comparing their performance to plain cement concrete (M40 grade).The study reveals significant improvements in compressive and split tensile strength, promoting eco-friendly construction practices.
