*5.2.3 Flexural strength*

Mirza et al. [14] and Khushnood et al. [20] detailed that no change in flexural strength was seen by warmed bentonite over crude bentonite, a decline in flexural strength was accounted for by the expansion of bentonite to concrete. Karthikeyan et al. [47] announced a slight augmentation in flexural strength upon bentonite expansion. 30% replacement displays the greatest flexural strength among all blends. Chandrakanth et al. [39] revealed that 5% of bentonite expansion works on the flexural strength of cement. All a large portion of the creators detailed no impact of bentonite replacement. Memon et al. [10] detailed a diminishing in water assimilation by expanding the level of bentonite mixing.
