This study is to ascertain the different properties of aggregates used
in construction works. This process of testing provides or establishes a
common basis for comparison of aggregates from different sources and to
interchange ideas between different locations.
In this project work, we will be looking at different properties of coarse aggregates from different sources.
Case study include:
- Abakaliki
- Lokpanta
- Otanmiri River
The locations are all in South-Eastern part of Nigeria.
1.2 SCOPE OF THE STUDY
This
project work is limited to the investigation of the properties of
coarse aggregate from different sources, including. Otanmiri River,
Lokpanta quarry site and Abakaliki quarry site. All in South Eastern
part of Nigeria.
1.3 SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY
This project will be of great importance to construction firms that make use of aggregate.
Secondly,
this work will be relevant and important to all students in the field
of civil engineering who wish to expand their knowledge about coarse
aggregates.
1.4 OBJECTIVE OF THE STUDY
1. To determine the
properties of coarse aggregate. Sample collected from different
locations. Abakaliki, Lokpanta and Otanmiri, all in south east part of
Nigeria.
2. To compare the properties of these aggregates from different sources.
3. To determine the strength of aggregate from different source and compare.
1.5 LIMITATIONS OF THE STUDY
During
the course of this study, some constraints and limitations were
encountered; the first limitation is that of sourcing for the material
needed to carry on with the project work.
The second limitation is that of time. The time allocated for this project is short considering the practical involved.
The
last limitation of this work is the availability of standard testing
equipment, this limitation is the major limitation in this project and
it led to the delay of the work as we source for the equipments required
for the practical.
