      CHAPTER ONE - [ Total Page(s): 2 ]CHAPTER ONE BACKGROUND TO THE STUDY1.0    INTRODUCTIONRight from when man stated to build, he has been compelled to use the locally available materials around him. Building has now become major construction material allover the world has necessitated a critical study of its constituent materials. More so, the present economic crunch calls for cost saving measures on the part of engineers/researchers involved in the management of the country’s project.Hence, the need for researchers to explore the use of those material that are locally available and affordable for the partial or total ...

      CHAPTER TWO - [ Total Page(s): 4 ]Resistance of wood wool cement board against fungi attack also depends on the alkaline nature of the cement, since these micro-organisms prefer slightly acidic environment. Wood wool cement board have a thermal resistance of 0.18m2 ho/Kcal, a board specific gravity of 0.6 and thickness of 15mm respectively: thermal resistance increase with a decrease in specific gravity and an increase in thickness (Shigekura, 1989). While on the other hand, sound absorption was rated as 0.75 at 4000c/s for boards with lowers specific energy (de wit, 1989). The standard of wood wool cement board varies from ar ...

      CHAPTER THREE - [ Total Page(s): 1 ]CHAPTER THREEMETHODOLOGY3.1    INTRODUCTION    The production of the cubes involves the construction wooden moulds, acquisition of materials, mixing of the cube materials, pressing and curing. A laboratory test on the physical and mechanical properties of the cube is carried out.3.2    MATERIALS PROCUREMENT    The wood planks used were procured from the sawmill at Irewolede and it is commonly known as Omo wood (Alstonia Longesis). The wood planks were cut into thinner planks with a motorized circular saw machine and wood shavings removed with the use of a manual hand wooden smooth ... Continue Reading
