COMPARING THE STRENGTH AS BLOCKS MADE FROM CEMENT AND LATERITE SOIL CEMENT AND RED EARTH LATERITE, SAND AND RED EARTH
ABSTRACT
Lateritic soils are reddish brown in colour, which have been used as blocks for buildings without any cement content. The study was carried out to Compare the Strength as Blocks Made from Cement and Laterite Soil Cement and Red Earth Laterite, Sand and Red Earth. This project implements the following analysis to effect reduction to the rise in market price of sand (fine aggregate), cement blocks to substitute literate blocks, determine the strength of the cement stabilized blocks of literate soil in the soil laboratory with a view to have an alternative in the building industry and analyze the existing laterite soil and evaluate it’s suitability for use as a good building material by means of various tests. The result obtained appears satisfactory for ordinary structural building made with sharp sand, laterite and red soil. Also, the use of laterite soil blocks has great potential in construction cost of a house to a normal structural concrete.
CHAPTER ONE
1.1 Introduction
Lateritic soils are reddish brown in colour, which have been used as blocks for buildings without any cement content. Recently, modern builders started introducing some percentage of cement to laterite for moulding stronger blocks, because of high cost of sandcrete blocks. The compressive strength of laterite-cement blocks increased steadily with increase in percentage of cement content up to 20% but decreased at cement contents above 20% (Aguwa, 2009). A major advantage of the use of laterite instead of sand in moulding building blocks is the low cost, due to small quantity of cement required to produce blocks with adequate compressive strengths as well as low cost of transporting laterite (Abdullahi, 2005).
As a prelude to other parts of this study, this chapter will discuss the background upon which this study was initiated, the statement of problems that led to this study, the Aim and Objectives of the study. Others are Significance of the study, Scope of work, Limitation of the study and Definition of technical terms.
