CHAPTER THREE
3.0 RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
3.1 Brick moulding and curring
3.1.1 Material
Cement: the cement used was Dangote cement S3, brought from cement depot at Asadam road Ilorin.
Sand: sand collected from Asa-dam Road Ilorin as used as fine aggregates was clean sharp free from clay and organic matter and well-grounded in accordance with water
Water: tap water was used for the mixing and it was properly examined to ensure that it was clear free contaminant either dissolved or in suspension and good drinking
Lateritic soil: was obtain along the Asa-dam road Ilorin with the coordinates (longitude E0040 321 52.61 and the latitude N080 271 02.41), and was obtained between a depth of 1m to 2m .The location is an open space and it essentially a road cut.

CHAPTER ONE - [ Total Page(s): 2 ]CHAPTER ONE1.0 Introduction Lateritic soils are formed in hot, wet tropical regions with an annual rainfall between 750 to 300mm, (usually in areas with a significant dry season) on a variety of different types of rock with high iron content. The location on the earth, that characterize these conditions fall between latitude 35oS and 35oN (Person, 1970).Laterisation is the removal of silicon through hydrolysis and oxidation that result in the formation of laterite and lateritic soil ...

CHAPTER TWO - [ Total Page(s): 9 ]CHAPTER TWO2.0 Literature ReviewLaterite is often used to describe the clinkered siliconized clay material. According to Amu et.al. (2011), it could be described as materials with no reasonable constants properties while Villain Cocinaet et.al. (2003), described it as a red friable clay surface, a very hard homogenous vesicular massive clinker-like material with a framework of red hydrated ferric oxides of vesicular infill of soft aluminum oxides of yellowish color. Villain Cocinaet et.al ... Continue reading---

CHAPTER FIVE - [ Total Page(s): 1 ]CHAPTER FIVE5.0 CONCLUSIONS, REFERENCE AND RECOMMENDATION. 5.1 Conclusion. Tests have been conducted to evaluate the suitability of lateritic soils along Asa dam area Ilorin kwara state and its effect on the strength of sandcrete bricks when used to replace the conventional fine aggregate, the following conclusions can be drawn from the analysis of the results: I. The use of lateritic fine as a partial replacement has a significant influence on the engineering pro ... Continue reading---
