However, the natural material Soorh is calcined by an electric furnace at 800 °C for 2 h duration to produce metakaolin. Moreover, two mixes of mortar/concrete without accumulation of developed metakaolin were made and ten mixes of mortar/concrete were prepared where cement is replaced by developed metakaolin as 5 to 25, with 5 increment, by weight of cement. It was concluded upon the results of this research that the utilization of 15 metakaolin as cementitious ingredient has significantly improvement in properties of mortar/concrete. © 2021, Springer Nature B.V. date: 2022 publisher: Springer Science and Business Media B.V. official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-85100737241&doi=10.1007%2fs12633-021-00993-w&partnerID=40&md5=04b34610d211249620f31b04d3497d1b id_number: 10.1007/s12633-021-00993-w full_text_status: none publication: Silicon volume: 14 number: 4 pagerange: 1807-1816 refereed: TRUE issn: 1876990X citation: Keerio, M.A. and Saand, A. and Chaudhry, R. and Bheel, N. and ul Karim Bhatti, N. and Soohu, S.
