Abstract
Metakaolin (MK) is produced by the suitable thermal treatment of either kaolin or paper sludge. MK can be used to modify some properties of Portland Cement (PC). Many authors have studied the effects of blending PC with MK on durability characteristics, and the current investigation focuses on a review of the effect of MK on the durability of blended PC. A review on the resistance to abrasion, fire, freeze-thaw, seawater, chloride-ion diffusion, carbonation, acid, sulfate, chloride, corrosion, creep, shrinkage, Alkali-Silica Reaction (ASR) and near surface is presented. This overview can be considered as a short guide for civil engineers. (C) 2015 Sharif University of Technology. All rights reserved.
