Using lateritic gravel as all-in aggregate for concrete production

Asiedu, R O (2017) Using lateritic gravel as all-in aggregate for concrete production. Journal of Engineering, Design and Technology, 15(3), pp. 305-316.

Abstract

This paper reveals that the rate of increase in the compressive strength of lateritic gravel used as all-in aggregate for concrete production tends to decrease with increase in part replacement of lateritic gravel with sand.

N.B. Descriptive scope is a count of how many of the five facets of empirical research are indicated by the words used in title, abstract and keywords. It is not intended as a judgement on the research; merely a count of the kind of word we would expect to indicate Phenomenon, Concepts, Theoretical framing, Empirical techniques, Analytical techniques. If all five are present, then a code of “5 PCTEA” will indicate this. If you feel the coding for this record is questionable, we welcome discussion around the terms we matched or the way we categorized them. The facet you would expect may not be coded, or a facet may be coded inappropriately. This can also bear on a larger question, of which facets should be treated as defining in construction management research. Please get in touch, and we will look at it. More details here
