| dc.description.abstract | Concrete an artificial stone like mass, is the composite material that is created by
mixing binding material (cement or lime) along with the aggregate (sand, gravel,
stone, brick chips etc.) water admixtures etc. in specific proportion. The strength and
quality are depended on the mixing proportion. Water is the most important & least
expensive ingredient of concrete. It plays an important role in mixing, laying, and
compaction, setting & hardening of concrete. This research investigated the effect of
different types of mixing water on the compressive strength of concrete. Samples of
water collected three sources. Such as Tap water, Dhanmondi lake water and Mineral
water. 8-inch height and 4-inch diameter of cylinder samples were cast with these
water samples. Compressive strength test was carried out on the cylinder and the
findings were statically processed. The results indicated that sources of water used in
mixing concrete have a significant impact on the compressive strength of the resulting
concrete. It concluded by suggesting that tap water could be used for mixing where
mineral water is scars. | en_US |
