<p>Magnetic treatment technology for concrete mixing water is a cost-effective and environmentally friendly approach that can enhance the performance and durability of cement-based materials.

In their studies, researchers have utilized static magnetic fields (SMF) of varying intensities to treat regular water and produce magnetically treated mixing water (MTMW) for a specific duration.

The main objective of this investigation is to review previous research that evaluated the impact of MTMW produced using different methods on the fresh, hardened, durability, and microstructure properties of cement-based materials. Most studies revealed that magnetic treatment technology improves physical and chemical properties of regular water, including solubility, surface tension, and conductivity. Regarding cement-based materials produced with MTMW, most investigations have demonstrated a significant enhancement in mechanical strength, durability, and microstructure.
