Nowadays, concrete is still one of the most used building materials, it had been improved whether in it’s quality or it’s mixture materials. There were a lot of studies that had been conducted to improve concrete that related to the produced compressive strength, stiffening speed, flexibility, etc. There are so many materials that can be used in concrete mixture to ...
The Portland cement is very useful to construct the any structure in any shape and size. This is very important for concrete because of this is high cost material. The cement production has environmental problem during large scale production process. In this paper we are studying about Silica fume, durability and Compressive strength etc. The mix is very important...
This present research was on the comparison of the efficacious use of basalt and granite as coarse aggregates in concrete work. In order to obtain the basis for comparison, physical and structural tests were conducted on the different materials of the concrete and the concrete samples respectively. Physical test results revealed that basalt have a specific gravity of...
A material other than water, aggregates, or cement that is used as an ingredient concrete or mortor to control setting and early hardening, workability, or to provide additional cementing properties. In this paper analysis of properties of concrete using hen’s feathers dipping in saltwater as admixture is studied and verified the strength of concrete to the normal Portland cement. As hens feather...
Admixtures now days play a predominant role in concrete manufacturing. The admixtures ranged from blood in history to fiber reinforcement admixture. In this paper the author analyzing the properties of concrete using salt water cured and oven dried human hair whose length exceeding 10cm as fiber reinforced admixture is studied and verified by strength of ordinary Portland cement without using any...
