Four types of SCC mixtures   were prepared with 0%, 5% and 10% replacement level of Metakaoline and calcined kaolin   with including control mixture without any mineral admixtures. Only Portland Cement    PC  was used for production of the control mixture and this mixture was produced with the   purpose of comparison. The highest compressive strength value was obtained as 83.5 MPa   with 10% replacement level of Metakaolin. The lowest water penetration depth was also   calculated as 3.5 mm with 10% replacement level of Metakaolin. The compressive strength   and water penetration tests showed that the best strength and durability performance values   obtained from mixtures with 10% replacement level of Metakaolin.</p></abstract>
