    • ABSRACT - [ Total Page(s): 1 ]Common river sand is expensive due to the excessive cost of transportation from natural sources. Also, large-scale depletion of these sources creates environmental problems. As environmental transportation and other constraints make the availability and use of river sand less attractive, a substitute or replacement product for concrete industry needs to be found. River sand is most commonly used fine aggregate in the production of concrete poses the problem of acute shortage in many areas. Whose ... Continue reading---

         

      CHAPTER ONE - [ Total Page(s): 1 ]1.1 BACKGROUNDCurrently, Nigeria has taken a major initiative on developing the infrastructures such as express highways, power projects and industrial structures, etc., to meet the requirements of globalization, in the construction of buildings and other structures, concrete plays the rightful role and a large quantum of concrete is being utilized. River sand, which is one of the constituents used in the production of conventional concrete, has become highly expensive and also scarce. In the ba ... Continue reading---
