An increase in demand in concrete is significantly increasing day by day. For general construction, concrete grade of M15 to up to M30 shall be used. For special purposes such as heavy structures as like flyovers, high rise buildings, dams, etc. special concrete should be required which will give the same or higher strength as the conventional concrete. In this project, we decided to design M50 grade of concrete and replace the cement partially with metakaolin by 0%, 10%, 20%, 30%, and 40% by weight of the cement and will check the physical properties such as slump cone test, compressive strength. Concrete mix design is done for M50 grade as per IS code for concrete with and without replacement of cement with metakaolin. The cubes were made of 150mm X 150mm X 150mm size to determine the compressive strength of concrete. Chemical and physical properties of the materials to be used shall be check such as fineness, specific gravity, density, slump cone test and compressive strength test. After experimental work is done, the model will be created in ANSYS software, to determine the strength of the cube after no of load applications. Later, comparison study will be done for strength parameter by experimental and ANSYS model
