Abstract
In this research, the compressive strength and workability of the concrete by
using magnetized water، have improved certain percentages depending on the process of the formation of this concrete. The experiments comprise the preparation of standard cubes from this concrete according to the standard ratios of ingredients and mixed with magnetized water, which was prepared by passing tap water through the devices of different magnetic strength in terms of (4000, 6000, 9250) Gauss. Then the factors affecting some physical and mechanical properties were studied, and developed some methods to be tested and verified. To complete the scope of the present experimental results, the study was necessitated the preparation of similar cubes using ordinary tap water.
Several experiments were conducted to determine the velocity of water
through the magnetic field, which gave the highest value for the compressive strength, where it was up to 0.8 m / sec. It was also appeared from the tests for compressive strength of more than 63 cubic concrete mixed with magnetic water that there is an increase ranging between (10-22%) compared to the results of the control cubes, Where the highest increase upto 22% at the magnetic intensity equal to (9250) gauss. Investigations of the slump test have shown best softness and good workability to the mix concrete in the range between (6.25-7) cm. It is compatible with a number of international standards, for this, the percentage of water to cement (w/c) was determined, regardless of the quality of water used
