The question of how an economy grows could c...
4. EFFECTS OF AGGREGATE SIZES ON THE CONCRETE STRENGTH
It is well recognized that coarse aggregate plays an important role in concrete. Coarse aggregate typically occupies over one-third of the volume of concrete, and research indicates that changes in coarse aggregate can change the strength and fracture properties of concrete. To predict the behavi...
5. COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF THE STRENGTH OF CONCRETE MADE FROM VARIOUS AGGREGATE
EXCERPT FROM THE STUDY
Characteristics of soil-cement blocks using highly sandy laterite mixtures were examined. The compressive, flexural and direct tensile strength of soil-cement blocks are directly proportional to the concrete aggregates, while the IRA is inversely...

In many cases, monetary management is an essential component of macroeconomic management. Macroeconomic management is typically the responsibility of a state's Monetary Authority or, alternativel...
7. EVALUATION ON THE IMPACT OF AGGREGATE SIZES ON CONCRETE STRENGTH
INTRODUCTION
It is common knowledge that coarse aggregate is crucial to the success of concrete. According to studies, changes in coarse aggregate can alter the strength and fracture qualities of concrete. Coarse aggregate generally makes up over one-third of the volume...
8. THE INFLUENCE OF MONETARY POLICY ON NIGERIA'S ECONOMIC GROWTH
Background to the Study
Macroeconomic policy consists of the actions aimed at inducing appropriate changes in macroeconomic aggregates such as output, employment and the price level. The major components of macroeconomic policy include fiscal, monetary, debt manag...
9. A STUDY OF MODIFICATIONS OF FILLER DIMENSIONS AND THE EFFECT OF PHYSICAL AND MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF PINEAPPLE LEAF FIBRE REINFORCED POLYPROPYLENE COMPOSITES
ABSTRACT
This research studied the effect of filler dimensions on some major properties of pineapple leaf fibre-reinforced polypropylene composites. In this study, composites of PALF/PP were produced, the PALF were extracted from pineapple leaves. This was achieved by adopting the mecha...
10. BITUMINOUS STABILIZATION OF LATERITE MODIFIED WITH LIME FOR USE AS PAVEMENT MATERIALS
Excerpt from the Study
In an effort to improve the suitability of lateritic soil as a pavement material, the air dried samples were treated with Lime/Bitumen in stepped concentration of 0, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 % by dry weight of the soil. The preliminary investigation conduct...
11. EFFECT OF CRUSHED COCONUT SHELL AND POLYETHYLENE TEREPHTHALATE AS PARTIAL REPLACEMENT OF COARSE AGGREGATE IN CONCRETE
ABSTRACT
This study investigates the suitability of crushed coconut shell (CCS) and polyethylene terephthalate (PET) as partial replacement of coarse aggregate in concrete. The PET was crushed mechanically to sizes between 0-10mm while the CCS was crushed manually to sizes between 12.7-...
12. QUALITY OF SANDCRETE HOLLOW BLOCKS IN NIGERIA
ABSTRACT
Sandcrete hollow blocks are widely used in Plateau State, Nigeria. The quality of these blocks produced, however, differs from each manufacturer due to different methods employed in the production and the properties of the constituent materials. This research work focuses on th...
13. AN INVESTIGATION INTO QUALITY OF AGGREGATE IN ROAD CONSTRUCTION
ABSTRACT
The current extensive use of low quality aggregate in Nigerian road for engineering applications is of concern because they appear to be a level of ignorance surrounding their existing properties and implications. This project was conceived for the purpose of c...

15. APPLICATION OF SCHEFFE’S MODEL IN COMPRESSIVE STRENGTH OPTIMISATION OF CONCRETE USING RICE HUSK ASH AS PARTIAL REPLACEMENT OF CEMENT
ABSTRACT
This study investigates the economic application of scheffe’s model in compressive strength optimisation of rice husk ash-cement concrete. Physical properties of the aggregates such as specific gravity, bulk density and sieve analysis were determined. Specific gravities o...
16. EFFECT OF SALT WATER ON CONCRETE USING BIDA NATURAL STONES AS COARSE AGGREGATE
ABSTRACT
Concrete is a combination of cement, fine and coarse aggregates and water, which are mixed in a particular proportion to arrive at a particular strength. The cement and water react together chemically to form a paste together with the aggregate particles. The mixture sets into...
