    Abstract: Concrete is a common material used in the Nigerian building industry. It is obtained by mixing cementitious materials, water, fine and coarse aggregates and sometimes admixtures in required proportions. Admixtures are added to concrete to modify its properties so as to make it more suitable for any situation. In recent times, building collapse in N... Show More

    Abstract: This research investigated and compared the strength of manual with machine compacted sandcrete hollow blocks using Dangote and Elephant (Ordinary Portland) cement brands in Nigeria. Thirty two (32) samples were moulded from the two brands of cement i.e. sixteen (16) from each cement brand for both manual and machine compaction methods and were cur... Show More
