Abstract
The compressive strength and workability of the concrete by using magnetized water have improved assertive percentages depending on the development of the formation of this concrete. The experiments contain the preparation of standard cubes from this concrete according to the standard ratios of ingredients, admixtures and mixed with magnetized water, which was prepared by passing normal water through the devices of different magnetic strength in terms of Gauss. Then the aspect affecting on some physical and mechanical properties were studied. To complete the scope of the present experimental results, the study was constrained the preparation of similar cubes utilizing ordinary tap water. It was also appeared from the tests for compressive strength of concrete mixed with magnetic water and GGBS that there is an increase ranging between (30-35%) compared to the results of the control cubes.
