Abstract
This study aims to valorize calcined kaolin powder as an addition to cementitious matrix building materials. The main purpose of this study is to formulate and analyze the performance of metakaolin mortars. The preparation of the metakaolin was carried out by calcining the Kaolin at a temperature of 800 °C for duration of 3 hours. A comparison of the results with a control mortar without addition is established. The observed results showed that the rate of substitution of 10% of cement by metakaolin increases the compressive strength and tensile strength at a young age.
