Evaluation Of The Compressive Strength Of Concrete Made With Sawdust-Rice Husk As Fine Aggregate For Farm Structure:- Christopher, Godspower C

ABSTRACT

Building construction works and Civil Engineering practice in Nigeria depend, to a very large extent, on concrete as major construction material. The versatility, strength and durability of cement arc of utmost priority over other construction materials. The basic materials for concrete are cement, fine aggregate (sand), coarse aggregate (granite chippings or gravel) and water. Hence, the overall cost of concrete production depends largely on the availability of these constituents. Unfortunately, its adverse environmental impact is also high. Many researchers in material science and engineering, in recent time, are committed to utilizing agricultural or industrial wastes to either partially or fully replace conventional materials of concrete.
