COMPRESSIVE STRENGTH BEHAVIOUR OF CONCRETE PRODUCED USING OKIGWE RED LUMP STONE AS COARSE AGGREGATE
This study was carried out in order to ascertain if the Okigwe red lump stone, found in South-eastern Nigeria, could be used as coarse aggregate in making structural concrete. The maximum compressive strength values, obtained at 28 days for red lump stone concrete were 13.72 N/mm2 at w/c ratio of 0...
