Determination Of The Characteristic Strength Properties Of Mild Steel Reinforcement
[A CASE STUDY OF ILORIN METROPOLIS] -

-
1.3 AIM AND OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY
The main aim is to determine the characteristics strength properties of mild steel reinforcement in Ilorin metropolis with the following objectives:
• To verify the various sizes of mild steel available in the market comply with standard specification.
• To make recommendation based on the finding of this project.
1.4 JUSTIFICATION OF THE STUDY
More often in Nigeria we have collapse of buildings several factors can be said to be responsible for a building to collapse. If steel reinforcement is not of standard strength it can cause failure and collapse of the structure. Hence, there is need to verify the strength of the mild steel sold in the market before use in structural work.
1.5 SCOPE OF THE STUDY
This project will cover the laboratory test that will be carried out on various diameter of mild steel specimen to check for their characteristic strength, tensile strength test and physical examination of the diameter of various specimens would be carried out using Vanier caliper.
1.6 PROPOSED METHODOLOGY
The methods used in carrying out this project include procurement of material, preparation of specimens, testing of specimens, analysis of result, conclusion and recommendation.

CHAPTER TWO - [ Total Page(s): 10 ]CHAPTER TWO2.0 LITERATURE REVIEW2.1 NIGERIAN STEEL INDUSTRY (HISTORICAL DEVELOPMENT)Planning for the Nigerian steel industry started around 1958. Many international Organizations and consulting firms had been commissioned at various times to study the feasibility of steel plants under the aegis of the Federal Ministry of Industries In 1971 an extra-ministerial agency was established by Decree to focalize efforts required to actualize a steel plant. The agency was called ‘Nigerian Steel Dev ... Continue reading---
CHAPTER THREE - [ Total Page(s): 3 ]3.3.2 Principle of OperationWith every 2 revolutions made on the hand or motor driven gear box of high mechanical advantage, a force of 20kN (2000kgf) is applied to a test piece held in the chuck pins. The force deflects the spring beam and this deflection operates a level acting on a piston in a cylinder containing mercury. It should be noted that the mercury inside the sleeve must be at zero point before the drive is made, and this can be alone using the mercury adjuster. The recording graph i ... Continue reading---

CHAPTER FIVE - [ Total Page(s): 1 ]CHAPTER FIVE5.0 CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION From the test carried out and the results obtained, the average yield strength for specimens diameter of 8mm, 10mm, 12mm, 16mm, 2Omm and 25mm were 79N/mm2, 225 N/mm2, 261 N/mm2, 277 N/mm2, 295 N/mm2 and 297 N/mm2 respectively. It was therefore observed that specimen of 8mm and 10m do not meet the BS8110 specification of 250 N/mm2 for mild steel.However, the analysis shows that the average ultimate strength obtained for the specimens of 8mm, 10mm 12mm ...
