Cost Analysis of Reclaimed Asphalt Concrete for Rigid Pavement Construction. by Ariho, Dan

“…Concrete samples of nominal mixes1:3:6 and 1:2:4 at varying water cement ratios of 0.4, 0.5 and 0.6 were prepared and tested for slump. 15 concrete cubes of 150mm x 150 mm x 150 mm per concrete mix per w/c ratio were cast and subjected to curing under water after 24 hours of casting. The cubes were then tested for compressive strength after 3, 7, 14, 28 and 56 days of curing and a minimum of 3 cubes were crushed and results recorded. …”
