An experimental investigation was carried out to assess the effect of metakaolin (MK) on the compressive strength, flexural strength and porosity of cement mortar. The cement was partially substituted with MK at 0-30% replacement levels. The results show that the strengths and porosity of mortar containing up to 20% were superior to that of control (0% MK). The Balshin equation fits the experimental results of compressive strength and porosity of the specimens containing MK and there is a strong quantitative relationship between compressive strength and porosity of the specimens.

Abstract In this study, flexural behaviour of the Ferrocement panels of size 500 mm x 500 mm x 50 mm with partial replacement of ceramic powder under monotonic loading is observed. All the Ferrocement panels were casted with cement mortar of mix proportion 1:4 with w/c ratio of 0.45 and all the specimens were casted with single layer of galvanized welded wire mesh of 2mm diameter with mesh opening of 12.5 mm x 12.5 mm. The ceramic powder is administered at various percentage replacement of cement by weight and the adopted variations are 0%, 5%, 10% and 15%. Compressive strength of the mortar mix for all the different ratios of ceramic powder was carried out and the results were discussed. It can be concluded that the Panel with 10% replacement of ceramic powder offers appreciable results than the other panels.

Ferrocement composite is constructed by cement mortar and reinforced buy layers of continuous and relatively small size wire mesh. The high cement usage in the mixture causes environmental and economical impacts. Basalt fiber is produced from melted basalt rock. This paper reports the experimental investigation carried out on the flexural characteristics of ferrocement composite using various kinds of basalt meshes by basalt fiber and different volume of Class F fly ash. The results clarify that the ferrocements without fly ash or with a small percentage of fly ash have a good mesh/matrix bond, leading to a better flexural behavior. The high volume of fly ash is shown to have a negative effect.
