The mold size is 150mmX150mm, and about twenty-seven (27) cubes were cast in the laboratory, nine cubes for each brand which is being cured in water and tested within 7 days, 14 days, and 28 days. In 7 days, Dangote cement and Bua are stronger than Ashaka as well as in 14 days. In the 28 days of curing, the concrete which is stronger and more durable amongst the three brands of cement is Dangote cement and Ashaka has less strength and durability. But has the advantage of rapid hardening after curing. Based on the research carried out, it is clear that when cement is properly selected it results in long-lasting structure because of its high strength and durability. It is recommended to clients and contractors, to use Dangote cement when constructing structures in order to achieve satisfactory strength of their structures as it proved to posses high strength than the other brands. ...Preview Download Preview +Other Civil Engineering project topics and materials you might be interested in»Comparing the compressive strength of concrete made with sand as fine aggregate and with chipping dust as fine aggregate»The comparative study of the compressive strength of concrete made with granite to that made with river round stone (pebble) and local stone»The use of computer in civil engineering»Importance of timber in civil engineering construction»Construction and Installation of a Panel Door»Construction of wardrobe key study on wood work»Effect of street trading on traffic performance and control»Assessment of different types of foundation and their mode of construction»Comparison of soil bearing capacity of different locations in Imo state»Investigation into the suitability of sand and gravel materials commonly used in building construction»Investigating the effect of partial replacement of cement with eggshell powder in concrete production»An investigation in to the causes of cracks in building and possible solutions - a case study of Kukar Gesa community in Katsina metropolis»Suitability of available laterite material in Ilorin East local government area for road construction»Determination of the causes, effects of environmental pollution and its possible control within Kwara and Osun state»Model for prediction of rainfall intensity in Lagos
