1. 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...

2. 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...

4. 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-...

6. 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...

7. 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...

8. 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...
