In this study effects of different water proofers on compressive strength of cement concrete has been made using experiments. Total 108 cubes were cast using normal, 60% of 20 mm and 40% of 10 mm size of coarse aggregates having three water proofer Dr. fixit, Roff, Aqua Roff proportion of 4ml/kg cement. NDT of the cast cubes using rebound hammer and UPV have been also carried out. All the cubes were tested for ultimate load using compression testing machine and compressive strengths of the cubes are calculated. Based on these data, comparative studies have been carried out to quantify the effect of different water proofers on the compressive strength of the concrete. From these data, salient conclusions are drawn.

Abstract


In this study effects of different water proofers on compressive strength of cement concrete has been made using experiments. Total 108 cubes were cast using normal, 60% of 20 mm and 40% of 10 mm size of coarse aggregates having three water proofer Dr. fixit, Roff, Aqua Roff proportion of 4ml/kg cement. NDT of the cast cubes using rebound hammer and UPV have been also carried out. All the cubes were tested for ultimate load using compression testing machine and compressive strengths of the cubes are calculated. Based on these data, comparative studies have been carried out to quantify the effect of different water proofers on the compressive strength of the concrete. From these data, salient conclusions are drawn.
