Development of Alkali Activated Cement (Geopolymer Cement) using Meta Kaolin and Volcanic ash from Uganda as base materials.
(Makerere University, 2022-12-01)Addition of Supplementary Cementitious Materials (SCM’s) in quantities larger than 5% increases the water demand of cements. EN 197 limits the amount of cement clinker that can be replaced with SCM’s to 35% for CEM II and ... -
Investigating the suitability of using natural pozzolana(volcanic ash) activated by lime as a stabilizer on the strength of soft clay blocks for low-cost construction
(Makerere University, 2022-10)Adequate housing is considered one of the basic human rights. However, due to cost limitations, many people lack access to adequate housing and decent shelter. Construction materials constitute a significant component of ... -
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 ... -
Investigating the use of volcanic as a building block binder.
(Makerere University, 2023-10-12)The use of concrete and mortar as building materials has been a cornerstone of civil engineering for many years. Ordinary Portland cement (OPC) is one of the most commonly used materials for building block binders due ... -
Investigation into volcanic ash and calcium hydroxide as a building block binder
(Makerere University, 2023-06)The emerging rise of carbon emissions in the environment is a global challenge due to negative impacts like global warming. A considerable amount of these carbon emissions originates from the manufacture of Portland Cement. ... -
