ABSTRACT
The mixture parameters varied were water/cement ratio (0.40 and 0.35) and metakaolin content.
A portion of the specimens were cured in laboratory conditions at 95% relative humidity and 20 ± 2°C for 28 days. Plate-shaped specimens of 50 × 50 × 5 cm were exposed to outdoor environmental conditions immediately after preparation and were cured for 28 days by water splashing. In this way actual concrete curing on site was simulated.
