        abstract = {The increasing environmental concerns caused by global warming and the rising costs of cement production due to quarrying have created a pressing need to explore alternative materials. To address this challenge, extensive research has been carried out to identify suitable replacements for cement. This research work is aimed to investigate the strength of concrete with partial replacement of cement with Metakaolin and compare it with conventional concrete. The grade of concrete is M30. Incorporating Metakoalin can potentially reduce the overall consumption of cement in the country while promoting sustainable construction practices. The primary objective of this research is to evaluate the influence of Metakoalin as a partial replacement for cement on the compressive, split tensile, and flexural strength of concrete. In this investigation, Metakoalin was used to replace cement in varying proportions of 10%, 20% and 30%. Based on the experimental results, the mix containing 20% Metakoalin exhibited optimal strength characteristics. The findings of this study highlight the potential of Metakoalin as an eco-friendly and cost-effective alternative material for sustainable construction.},
