Sandcrete is a construction material composed of cement, fine aggregate, and water. The
constituent materials are in great demand due to their use in various buildings. The …

In this study, the influence of cement content and compaction pressure on the unit weight,
water absorption, and compressive strength of sandcrete blocks were evaluated. To achieve …

The study investigated the compressive strength and static modulus of elasticity of building
blocks with full replacement of river sand with a blend of laterite–quarry. Values of …
