The majority of the sandcrete blocks used in the Nigerian building industry fall short of the minimum specification standards. There is evidence to suggest a wide variation in compressive strength from one block manufacturer to another and also within block samples from a single source. This problem has been attributed to poor quality control and substandard constituent materials.

The three types of sand (Dredged, River Sand and Dug out) being used for the production of sandcrete blocks were obtained and used to produce 225mm x 225mm x 450mm sandcrete blocks and the blocks were tested for compressive strength. It was discovered that only the sandcrete blocked produced with dredged sand met the Nigerian In Download

This project investigates the possible use of coconut husk ash (CHA) as a partial replacement of cementin sandcrete block production. 140 numbers of 450mmx150mm×225mm hollow sandcrete blocks of mix ratio 1:8 were cast, cured and crushed at 7, 14, 21, and 28 days. The coconut husk ash was replaced at 0 to 30 percent levels at 5% intervals.

Sandcrete blocks comprise of natural sand, water and binder. Cement, as a binder, is the most expensive input in the production of sandcrete blocks (Hornbostel, 1991). This has necessitated producers of sandcrete blocks to produce blocks with low OPC (Ordinary portland cement) content that will be affordable to people and with much gain.

Proper compaction of the sand cement blocks requires high amounts of water leading to high water cement ratios with these often being over 1. This then leads to that only about 30% of the cement building potential is used. Since cement drives price and the carbon footprint the situation is far from ideal.
