Compressive Strength of Volcanic Ash/Ordinary Portland Cement Laterized Concrete

Abstract: This study investigates the effect of partial replacement of cement with volcanic ash (11 A) on the compressive strength of laterized concrete. A total of 192 cubes of 150mm dimensions were cast and cured in water for 7, 14, 21, and 28 days of hydration with cement replacement by VA and sand replacement by laterite both ranging from 0 to 30% respectively, while a contlul mix of 28-day…
