Impact of Curing Methods on the Porosity and Compressive Strength of Concrete

Francis Kwesi Nsakwa Gabriel-Wettey, Kennedy Appiadu-Boakye & Firmin Anewuoh · Journal of Engineering Research and Reports · 2021

An experimental investigation was conducted to evaluate the impact of different curing practices on the porosity and compressive strength of concrete. The targeted compressive strength of the concrete at 28-day of curing was 20 N/mm2. Plain concrete cubes were prepared with a mix...

Assessing Qualities of Different Sources of Water for Mixing Concrete

Peter P. Yalley, Kennedy Appiadu-Boakye & Wisdom D. Adzraku · Journal of Engineering Research and Reports · 2019

This study investigates the effects of water sources on concrete properties. A mix ratio of 1:1.5:3 with 0.5w/c was used in mixing the concrete.  Water from the Stream, the hand-dug well and the borehole were used for the experiments with pipe borne water serving as the control....
