Geotechnical properties of lime treated lateritic soil treated with rice husk ash Rice husks are the natural sheaths that form on rice grains during their growth. They can however be made useful through a variety of thermo chemical conversion process. The major compounds from rice husks are silica and cellulose which yield carbon when thermally […]

Abstract The Effect Of Water Quality On Concrete Material In Tropical Region Of Nigeria. was evaluated in this study. A total of 100 concrete cubes (150 x 150 x 150 mm) were cast using a mix ratio of 1:2:4. The hardened concrete cubes were de-moulded 24 hours after the cubes were cast and were submerged […]
ABSTRACT Problems arising from limited coarse aggregate sizes where by coarse aggregates are gotten from long distance quarry sites which have led to high cost of coarse aggregates and in turn resulted to high cost of construction. A synergistic combination of three sizes of coarse aggregates for concrete works was investigated in this research. For […]
