Project Abstract

Abstract
This research project aims to conduct a comparative analysis of the strength of concrete made from various types of aggregates. Aggregates play a critical role in determining the strength and durability of concrete. The study will focus on three commonly used types of aggregates crushed stone, gravel, and recycled concrete. The methodology involves preparing concrete mixes with each type of aggregate following standard procedures and testing protocols. The concrete specimens will be subjected to compressive strength tests at different curing periods to evaluate their performance. Additionally, the workability of each concrete mix will be assessed to understand the effects of different aggregates on the ease of placement and compaction. The results of the study will provide valuable insights into the influence of aggregate type on the strength characteristics of concrete. By comparing the compressive strength values of concrete samples made with different aggregates, the research aims to identify the most suitable aggregate type for achieving optimal concrete strength. Furthermore, the findings will contribute to understanding how various aggregates affect the overall quality and performance of concrete in construction applications. This research is significant as it addresses a practical aspect of concrete technology that has implications for the construction industry. Engineers, contractors, and concrete producers can benefit from the information generated by this study to make informed decisions regarding aggregate selection for concrete production. Understanding the strengths and limitations of different types of aggregates can lead to more durable and cost-effective concrete structures. In conclusion, the comparative analysis of concrete strength using different aggregates is crucial for improving the quality and performance of concrete in construction projects. The findings of this study will add to the existing body of knowledge in concrete technology and provide valuable guidance for industry professionals. Ultimately, the research outcomes aim to promote the use of appropriate aggregates to enhance the strength and durability of concrete structures, leading to sustainable and resilient construction practices.

Project Overview

1.1              INTRODUCTION

This work was to present in one weight, the fundamental and practical information in the filed of the comparative analysis of the strength of concrete made from various aggregate which may be useful to people involve in civil and structural engineering and particularly, those that found pleasure in the design and related structure.

Due to the strength/high cost of various aggregate in the market the comparative analysis of strength of concrete indifferent aggregate have revealed that one can definitely substituted in various aggregate by using the mixture design of ration in different aggregate in building to reduce the mixture ration of aggregate or used any of the aggregates.

Where their is no granite stone washed gravel most black gravel is there no black gravel must in such area there will be surface gravel in the project is going to be sited.

A great effort have been made through out this work although it is limited in scope to asses their suitability as stand and concrete aggregate

1.2              PROJECT OBJECTIVE

This case study the comparative analysis of the strength of concrete made from various aggregates.

The project implement the following analysis.

1.                                          To determine the analysis in the existing aggregates and evaluate it’s suitability for use as a good building of aggregates by means of various laboratory tests.

2.                                          To determine the strength of concrete cube in difference aggregates in soil laboratory with a view to have on alternative in the building construction.

3.                                          To effect the reduction of rising in the building construction by using deference aggregates.

1.3              PARTICLE SIZE DISTRIBUTION

It has been stated that maximum size and grading of aggregates are very important find aggregate result in uneconomical mixes where as very coarse –grained soils result in harsh unworkable mixes.

The mean size or grading of many aggregate can be obtained by passing the materials in a set of sieves consisting usually of certain standard sizes. The sieves number is been expressed as the member per inches.

The sieve analysis should also conformed to the B. S. 410of 1969 for sieves for purpose of testing the procedure involve in making sieve analysis should also conform to the B. S. standard method that is involved in carrying out the sieve analysis of time and coarse aggregate.

The aggregate were carefully washed to eliminate dust particles and some other of organics mater present in it so the aggregate should be dust and dust free of any kind. After the wash of aggregate were kept to dry in a place for 24 hours with kept help of electric oven.

The particle were weight and e recorded the % retained passing sieve at each times the graph below shows the result got from each case.
