MATERIALS AND EQUIPMENTS

Portland cement, fine aggregate (sand) and coarse aggregate

Mixed this all the material with water as paste to formed the mix concrete
and repeating the experiment 3 times by different weight ratio of concrete
mixes but same water/cement ratio.
Cube Mould (BS 1881: 108:1983)
Poured the mixing concrete in to the cube mould layer by layer with about
50mm for each layer. It can give great consistency and repeatability. It
important in the final part of the strength assessment. The area of cube will
2
form in 225 cm .
Steel Tamping Rod
To strengthen all the layer at between 36-40 times by steel tamping rod.

Hand Scoop
It is using for mixing the materials which impossible to use the hands to
done the mixture of concrete. That will faster and easy to take some
smaller unit of materials compared to the hand.

Measuring Cylinder
To measure the volume of the water required in the experiment. It is
easy to use and high accuracy of reading which calculate in unit of
millilitre.

Compression Testing Machine

To test the compressive strength by contact with the platens of testing
machine. The load will be showing during the compressive process. The
2
result in final should be calculate in load/area(MN/ M ).

Water tank
To immersed the cubes into the oil for 14days.To occur the hydration which will improve the
strength of the cubes at a long period.
