- Abstract
This paper reports the effect of Magnesium chloride (MgCl2) on Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) concrete. The OPC
concrete was produced with MgCl2 dosage of 0.2, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5 and 2.0 g/lit and deionised water was used in concrete
mix (M20 & M50). In addition to this, control specimens were prepared with deionised water (without MgCl2) for
comparison. The compressive and tensile strengths were evaluated for 28 and 90 days. The results show that, as the
MgCl2 concentration increases, the compression and tensile strengths decrease. The X-ray diffraction analysis for
concrete has been carried out at 1.5 g/lit concentration.
