Study was conducted to compare the engineering property such as compressive strength and total cost of the common residence construction by laterite stone andconcrete block casted by 10 cement30
physical characteristics and production cost with Sandcrete hollow block SHB Portland limestone cement PLC was replaced by CCA in varying percentages 5 10 and 15 The density compressive strength and water absorption of the blocks were determined and compared with the Nigerian standard requirements and specifications
While blocks were sitemoulded for one building on the acquired site blocks were bought for the second building This was done for the purpose of comparing costs of alternative methods of acquiring sandcrete blocks and ultimately comparing costs of 225mm thick blockwalls of the same materials
The use of fired clay bricks which is the most popular alternative walling material in Makurdi metropolis gave a savings in cost of 19 and a price index of 081 when compared with 450×230×230 sandcrete blocks Based on this analysis bricks made from laterite and cement is being recommended for building construction in Makurdi and other locations where laterite is readily available
pThis study considered the production and testing of sandcrete hollow blocks and lateritenbspinterlocking blocks with a view to comparing their physical characteristics and productionnbspcost Some units of sandcrete hollow blocks and laterite interlocking blocks were made usingnbspmachine vibrated sandcrete block mould and hydraulic
comparing costs of alternative methods of acquiring sandcrete blocks and ultimately comparing costs of 225mm thick blockwalls of the same materials The walls were built between January and March 2013 Records of costs of labour and material were kept Each of the two buildings used for the research consumed 4800 blocks
analysis was performed discovered that the inclusion of the lateritic soil saves the cost of production by 1189 This percentage replacement can be recommended to the block moulding industries within Ota with a view to reducing the production costs of the blocks Keywords Economic block laterized brick laterized sandcrete block lateritic
The cost per square metre of 225mm and 150mm sandcrete hollow blocks are ₦280800 and ₦234000 respectively while that of laterite interlocking blocks is ₦2121 was concluded that laterite interlocking blocks have better strength and are cheaper than sandcrete hollow blocks
Due to high cost of sand in the market the comparative analysis of stabilized laterite blocks red earth blocks and sand blocks have revealed t hat one can definitely substitute the stabilized laterite blocks and mud blocks in place of sand blocks to reduce the cost of the entire building or used stabilized laterite blocks where there are no
Comparative Analysis of Sandcrete Hollow Blocks and Laterite The cost per square metre of 225mm and 150mm sandcrete hollow blocks are Comparative Study of Cement Stabilized Clay Brick and Sandcrete Block as a ratio is specified for manufacturing
use of sandcrete hollow block has dominated the construction indus tries especially the building industries where alternative walling unit materials have not gained popularity This research work focuses on the comparative study of the properties of cement stabilized lateritic bricks and sandcrete hollow blocks
Compressed Stabilized Laterite Bricks CSLBs has been canvassed as a viable alternative to sandcrete blocks due to its affordability and sustainability However it has not been widely accepted and used for housing construction as a result of certain inhibitors based on peoples’ perception
constructing a wall with the interlocking blocks and the conventional sandcrete blocks Labor cost was calculated at 424 Completion of the entire wall a rate of Gh¢500hr and material cost at a rate of In constructing the entire wall mason X used a total of 2 Gh¢40000m3 of mortar hours 57 minutes while mason Y used 2 hour 56 minutes for the sandcrete wall
present study considered the production of laterite interlocking blocks Apart from the cost of materials used in making blocks for walling units the cost of cement mortar used in bonding the blocks together also contributes to the exorbitant cost of building works The technique of building with interlocking blocks
Densities of the lateritecement and sandcrete blocks were determined in accordance with 17 and the results are shown in Table 2 Cost Analysis Cost analysis at the time of this study was conducted on the basis of one square metre of wall for lateritecement and sandcrete blocks respectively and the results are shown in Table 2
physical characteristics and production cost with Sandcrete hollow block SHB Portland limestone cement PLC was replaced by CCA in varying percentages 5 10 and 15 The density compressive strength and water absorption of the blocks were determined and compared with the Nigerian standard requirements and specifications
