ABSTRACT The stabilization of soil is important in construction of foundation and highways as it improve the engineering properties of soil like compressibility and shear strength in the experiment result obtained in the laboratory on expansive soil treated with low cost materials (quarry dust) are presented. A study is carried out to check the improvement […]

ABSTRACT Soil sampling and testing is one of the most important steps to attain success in construction project. Soil testing provides information on type of soil, bearing capacity of soil   Test such as liquid limit, plastic limit, atterbergs, compaction, plastic index test and differential free swell test are done for testing the suitability and stability

ABSTRACT This study comprises quality of different Brands of Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC).Three brands of Portland cement commonly available in Nigeria were investigated through series of tests conducted to determine their strength characteristics, setting time, soundness, workability and fineness among others and examine if they meet the minimum standard as stipulated by the British Standard

ABSTRACT During the pre-independence of the building culture in Nigeria, laterite were mainly used for making blocks which were accurate durable and accessible enough for them to meet their housing needs. One of the aim and objective of this project is to determine the compressive strength of concrete cubes. The sample was collected from Julius
