Abstract: This technical note presents the results of compressive, split tensile, and flexural strengths of concrete containing cement kiln dust (CKD) as a replacement for ordinary portland cement (OPC). The replacement levels ...

Abstract: Some properties of concrete with sawdust ash (SDA) as a replacement for ordinary portland cement (OPC) are investigated. The compressive strength of specimens with replacement levels ranging from 10 to 30% cured for periods ...

Abstract: This technical note discusses an innovative use of maize-cob ash (MCA) as a filler in concrete. MCA in the range of 0–30% was used as a partial replacement for ordinary portland cement in a concrete of mix ratio 1:2:4:0.6 ...

Abstract: This paper focuses on a study of the variations in geometrical quantities of reinforced-concrete members on three large project sites in Nigeria. Poor inspection enforcement during construction, among other factors, was ...

Abstract: Mound soils from some habitats of a common tropical species of termites were investigated with a view to the possibility of utilizing such soils for construction. The research program that comprises the evaluation of the ...

Abstract: This paper presents the results of a laboratory experimental program to evaluate the potential of limestone dust (LSD) and coal fly ash (CFA) to stabilize some problem soils in southeastern Pennsylvania. Some of the ...

Abstract: The enormous amount of wastes produced during wood processing operations in many countries provides challenging opportunities for the use of wood waste as a construction material. In this research, wood waste (sawdust and ...

Abstract: The results of an experimental program to evaluate the properties of a novel building material—oil palm waste-cement composite (OPWCC) are presented in this paper. Cement paste samples containing 0, 20, 40, 60, and 80% ...
