In this content an interest was made by civil engineers to replace the composite concrete material with industrial wastes, agricultural wastes, and waste glass. In this content metakaolin was a pozzolanic material used in wide range in partial replacement of cement in concrete which was treated as economical and also due to its pozzolanic action increases strength and durability properties of concrete.
