  Effect of Water-Cement Ratio on the Properties of Brick Aggrigate Concrete
  Author(s): H A Rashid*, B A Nur and M A Rashid
  
  Brick aggregate is widely used in concrete mixes for building construction in Bangladesh. The principal aim of this research is to study the effect of water-cement ratio on the properties of brick aggregate concrete. Two types of mix ratios along with variations in water-cement ratios have been considered in this study. The mix ratios (by volume) considered are 1:2:4 and 1:1.5:3 and the water-cement ratios (by weight) are 0.4, 0.5, 0.6 and 0.7. Emphasis is given on studying the basic properties of hardened concrete such as compressive strength, modulus of elasticity and splitting tensile strength. The properties of concrete have been determined according to the ASTM specifications. Attempts have been made to find relation between the properties of concrete and the water-cement ratio. Test results have shown that the compressive strength, splitting tensile strength and modulus of elast.. Read More»
