Abstract/Summary

The compressive strength of concrete on both the mountain-crushed and river run aggregates were compared to see the difference in strength. It is desired to determine the water-cement ratio needed and the percentage of cement to be added to a lower strength producing aggregate, to produce the same strength as the mountain-crushed aggregate. To achieve this, two experiments were done. First, the water cement ratio of the lower strength producing aggregate is varied using the same aggregate proportions and the same cement content. Second, using the same proportions of aggregates and the same water-cement ratio, cement is increased to determine the amount of cement needed in attaining the same strength. The water-cement ratio and amount of cement needed is based on the strength produced from the two experiments.
