or subdivisions. This community has a mixture of older homes dating back to the 1950’s and more modern homes being built in the 2000’s. Most of the older homes seen on Kelly Drive and other older streets were build in the 1950’s to 1960’s with a concrete foundation. These homes were similar in sizes, slightly different in shape. These homes were built with car porches (detached and undetached from house) instead of a garage. These homes seen in our survey were clean with well-maintained lawns (no

deterioration on the performance of structures is important because much of the nation’s essential infrastructure is aging. The alkali-aggregate reaction phenomenon is the cause of considerable damage to concrete structures built during the late 1920s to early 1940s” (Osama, Mohamed et.al, 2001). “Numbers of concrete structures in California, USA, was observed to develop severe cracking within a few years of their construction, although quite acceptable standards of construction and quality control of materials

Abstract The aim of the Project is to find out the geo-engineering properties of fly ash, which can act as a stabilizer to many soils in geo-engineering field. The project describes the use of local fly ash in construction industry in a way to minimize the industrial waste. Their been serious shortage of natural material, which are used in Highway or Earth dam construction. Due to soil excavation, deforestation occurs which affects the bio-diversity. Industrial waste such as fly-ash, slag etc

Task 1 (LO 1: 1.1 and 1.2) A tunnel is an underground or underwater passageway, dug through the surrounding soil, earth, rock and enclosed except for entrance and exit, commonly at each end. A pipeline is not a tunnel, though some recent tunnels have used immersed tube construction techniques rather than traditional tunnel boring methods. A tunnel may be for foot or vehicular road traffic, for rail traffic, or for a canal. The central portions of a rapid transit network are usually in tunnel. Some

be used for non-load bearing walls. cement will definitely reduce the cost of production of sandcrete hollow blocks and ultimately that of the building. In order to reduce the price of cement to be consumed in mortar, sandcrete hollow blocks and concrete production, the search for an alternative binder or partial cement replacement has led to the use of industrial and agricultural waste materials believed to have the potentials of exhibiting cementitious properties.

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 requirements include strength, slump, air
