1. Introduction The purpose of this lab is to introduce the students to the process, procedures and to determine important physical properties of mixing fresh concrete. With an understanding of concrete properties and the means of which to calculate these properties the students can demonstrate their knowledge in a laboratory environment. The students are expected to achieve this task by designing and mixing a batch of concrete based on specific requirements provided in the ASTM C231. The procedure

Project Management Technology, Federal University of Technology, P.M.B. 1526, Owerri, Nigeria. Received 30 March 2011; accepted 17 May 2011 a b Abstract The strength of concrete is a function of the proportions of the constituent materials, namely, cement, water, fine and coarse aggregates. The conventional methods used to determine the mix proportions that will yield the desired strength, are laborious, time consuming and expensive. In this paper, a mathematical method based on modified regression

Anytime the concrete on your property sinks, it leaves damaging voids under the house and structure. To lift concrete to its original position, voids are filled under the affected slab with a thick mixture of clean soil and cement. This slurry mixture is injected with force, then lifts and raises the sunken concrete back into position. Grout is then added to fill the voids and to stabilize the soil so concrete sinking will no longer be an issue. Mudjacking can also be used

activities involving the production of cement, paper and pulp, tissue paper, steel, LP Gas bottling and distribution, and a trading company, among others. The group experienced this tremendous growth in a span of less than 10 years. During this period, additional schemes on land development and real estate were launched and those projects focused more sharply on increasing responsiveness to client needs. The Group's first publicly-traded company, the Meghna Cement Mills Limited, is currently listed on
