Assessing structural performance of concrete blocks using sawdust as partial replacement for fine aggreagates
(Makerere University, 2022-03)Assessing the structural performance of concrete blocks using sawdust as partial replacement of fine aggregates was evaluated. The parameter adopted comprised analysis of the compressive strength according to the treatment ... -
Investigating the usability of ceramic tile wastes as a partial replacement for fine aggregates in concrete blocks.
(Makerere University, 2023-07-12)This study sought to investigate the suitability of using ceramic tile wastes as a partial replacement for fine aggregates in concrete block production and investigating the influence of the ceramic tile aggregates on ... -
Investigating the use of Kaolin Clay and Volcanic ash as precursors for Geopolymer cement in concrete blocks.
(Ampumuza Mmukunda, 2023-11-02)Concrete blocks comprise of quarry dust, water and binder. Cement, as a binder, is the most expensive input into the production of concrete blocks. This has necessitated producers of these blocks to produce them with low ... -
Utilization of water treatment sludge as a partial replacement for fine aggregates in making of solid concrete blocks
(Makerere University, 2023-06)Sludge production at the Ggaba III water treatment plant was approximated at 113,000 metric tons/year where by the means of its disposal was damping in nearby wetlands posing a significant risk to native ecosystems. This, ...
