        abstract = {Partial replacement of Portland cements by pozzolanic and cementitious by-products or mineral additions that allow for carbon dioxide emission reductions is a major issue in the current climate change context. However, the use of low pozzolanic activity by-products like fly ash can cause a decrease relatively early in compressive strength. In this paper, the effect of metakaolin and fly ash on strength of concrete was investigated. Results show that partial replacement of cement by 30% fly ash leads to a decrease relevantly early in compressive strength, when compared to a reference mix of 100% Portland cement. Results also show that using 30% fly ash and 15% metakaolin replacement is responsible for minor strength. But 15% metakaolin shows outstanding strength results when compared to a control mix.},
