PROJECTS

In my final year I did a research on "Partial replacement of coarse aggregate with pumice" and recommended that;

  • A replacement level of 70 percent normal coarse aggregate and 30 percent pumice will give the optimum strength of 20 MPa
  • With this replacement level, the dead weight will be reduced by 17%
