Abstract - The research's main goal is to investigate the effects of using magnetic water in concrete mixes with regard to various mechanical properties such as compressive, flexural, and splitting tensile strength. The concrete mix investigated was designed to attain a specified cylinder compressive strength (30 MPa), with mix proportions of 1:1.8:2.68 cement to sand to crush aggregate. The cement content was about 380 kg/m³, with a w/c ratio equal to 0.54, sand content of about 685 kg/m³, and gravel content of about 1,020 kg/m³. Magnetic water was prepared via passing ordinary water throughout a magnetic field with a magnetic intensity of 9,000 Gauss. The strength test results showed an encouraging improvement in the fresh and hardened concrete properties. The percentage increases in compressive strength of 12.16, 10.16, and 8.62% at 7, 28, and 90 days, respectively, compared particularly well with the control mix containing tap water, with consistent flexural trends and splitting.

Key Words:  flexural, magnetic water, splitting, tensile strengths.
