One type of high-strength concrete is magnetic concrete. In this technology, the physical structure of water is altered by inducing a magnetic field. As a result, the number of molecules in a molecular cluster decreases from 13 to 5 or 6, and the surface tension of the water is reduced. Using this water in concrete preparation increases the workability of the concrete mix and reduces the required water. Additionally, by facilitating cement hydration, it increases the compressive strength and durability of the concrete. This increased compressive strength enhances the stability and resistance of the structure against earthquake forces. Moreover, maintaining the compressive strength of the concrete while using magnetic water can reduce cement consumption. This reduction in cement consumption can lower the weight of the structure, which is very effective in reducing earthquake forces in tall buildings. Magnetic Concrete Compressive Strength Workability (Slump) Hydration Increase Cement Paste. Full Text Additional Declarations No competing interests reported.
