Abstract

Today, concrete plays important role in civil engineering and construction industry. From the past until now, increasing compressive strength, durability and workability have been among the most important components considered by concrete technology researchers. Due to the fact that water is one of the most important components of concrete mixes and forms a volume of 15 to 25% of concrete, its quality plays a key role in concrete. One way to increase workability and strength in countries such as China and Russia is to use magnetic technology in concrete construction. In this way, using magnetic technology, magnetic water is produced and used in mixing concrete. In the present paper, an attempt is made to review the studies and experiments performed in connection with the use of magnetic water in concrete mixes.
