4.3 DISCUSSION OF RESULTS
The average density of the cubes produced without reprocessed pure water sachets and having a mix ratio of 2:1:1 is 706.66kg/m3 while the average density of cubes produced with processed pure water sachets and having a mix ratio of 2:1:1:1 is 810.67kg/m3. The average density of the cubes produced without reprocessed pure water sachets and having a mix ratio of 1:1:1 is 437.33kg/m3 while the average density of cubes produced with reprocessed pure water sachets and having a mix ratio of 1:1:1:1 is 645.33kg/m3.
The average water absorption rate of cube produced without reprocessed pure water sachets and having a mix ratio of 2:1:1 is 19.3% while the average water absorption rate of cubes produced with reprocessed pure water sachets and having a mix ratio of 2:1:1:1 is 20.46%. The average water absorption rate of cubes produced without reprocessed pure water sachets and having a mix ratio of 1:1:1 is 18.2% while the average water absorption rate of cubes produced with reprocessed pure water sachets and having a mix ratio of 1:1:1:1 is 19.56%.
The average compressive strength of cubes produced without reprocessed pure water sachets and having a mix ratio of 2:1:1 is 17.27N/mm2 while the average compressive strength of cubes produced with reprocessed pure water sachets and having a mix ratio of 2:1:1:1 is 12.29N/mm2. The average compressive strength of cubes produced without reprocessed pure water sachets and having a mix ratio of 1:1:1 is 11.27N/mm2 while the average compressive strength of cubes produced with reprocessed pure water sachets and having a mix ratio of 1:1:1:1 is 10.33N/mm2.
The average value of compressive strength show that the cubes without reprocessed “pure water sachet†gave a higher average compressive strength than those with reprocessed pure water CHAPTER FIVE
5.0 CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION
In can be deduced from the result obtained that cubes cast with 2:1:1:1 and 2:1:1 have higher compressive strength than cubes cast with 1:1:1:1 and 1:1:1; hence 2:1:1:1 and 2:1:1 gives the best mix ratio. The rate of water absorption is also higher in cubes cast with reprocessed “pure water sachet†(PWS) than those without reprocessed “pure water sachet†(PWS), this shows that wood wool has moderate water absorption.
5.1 RECOMMENDATION
The following is recommended;
> Machined plained wood wool which is abundant in the country should be used instead of the hand plained wood wool used in this project.
> The best mix ratio to be used for cement to wood wool and cement to reprocessed “pure water sachet†is 2:1.
achet. It can also be seen that wood wool cubes cast with ratio of 2:1:1:1 and 2:1:1 gave a higher average water absorption percentage than 1:1:1:1 and 1:1:1. It was also observed during the process of casting of the cubes that it is only when the wood strands were broken down to bits that it can mix properly with the cement paste.
