ABSTRACT In the sense that the materials involved in this project were capital intensive more especially cement, so in carrying out the work one must have to be careful in the selection and collection of materials to be used in the casting of the concrete. The materials used are coarse aggregate (granite) fine aggregate (sand). The coarse... Continue Reading

CHAPTER ONE 1.1 GENERAL INTRODUCTION The relevance of road to life and its activities cannot be over emphasized. Road is as old as the origin of man and plays a vital role in the life of the people in communities, states, countries. It is quite obvious that life would have been very difficult...

ABSTRACT The work has gone a long way in determining strength of concrete made of various aggregates such as granites stone, black gravel, washed gravel and surface gravel. Some factors such as porosity of the aggregate temperature causing loss of water plate form for mixing of concrete mix affect the workability and eventually the strength of... Continue Reading

ABSTRACT  In recent years there has been an increase in the number of construction works and  concrete is the main construction material for most of the structures that are being  built. Nigeria is a developing Country with a large population and land area therefore  a consumer of concrete. This paper considers the option of recycling concrete... Continue Reading

ABSTRACT In an attempt to reduce non-renewable material usage, reduce green-house substances and at the same time be relevant to our environment, this research presents the progress of investigation going on to evaluate some properties of EPO-FBA as partial replacement of cement in the production of structural concrete. This research work is... Continue Reading

CHAPTER ONE INTRODUCTION 1.1 BACKGROUND TO THE STUDY Concrete is a versatile construction material. According to Hasan and Kabir (2011), it is readily available, relatively cheap, flexible to handle and it gives shape and any desired form. The compressive strength is the most critical...

ABSTRACT Sand has traditionally been used as fine aggregate in structural concrete. It is usually imported from relatively distant places at high costs, and this increases the overall cost of making concrete and of providing housing in various Nigerian communities. This study investigates the performance of 409/o of laterite as fine aggregate in... Continue Reading
