impacts of magnetic water on some mechanical properties of normal and high-strength concrete

one of the most important points which have been considered by scholars and those involved in concrete technology science is improvement of various concrete features. for achieving this goal, in two recent decades, very widespread studies have been performed and one of their most important studies is using magnetic water technology in concrete. by using this technology, the physical structure of water could be changed so that the number of molecules in a molecular association is reduced from 14 to 5 or 6 molecules and as a result, the water surface tension is decreased. using magnetic water in concrete mixture causes consistency and reduction of water to cement ratio of concrete and also increasing of its durability and strength. in the present study, the impact of magnetic water on mechanical properties of normal concretes and high strength concretes such as consistency and compressive strength has been investigated. the tests results indicate that using magnetic water in concrete mixture increases its compressive strength by 17% and 465 respectively. also, it accelerates the cement hydration reaction and increases concrete slump.
