Compressive Strength Test Results of Hardened Concrete
For each of the four trails three cubes were casted. Each of the cubes was test for compressive strength after 28
days of curing in compression testing machine. The observations of the compression test are given in the table
below.

Cost per kg of fine aggregate = Rs.5.00 3 % Replacement of Fine Aggregate:
Quantity of fine aggregate used in one M 25 cube = Cost per kg of polyethylene powder = Rs 3.50
2.18 kg Cost incurred per cube in fine aggregate at 3 %
Cost of fine aggregate used in one cube = 2.18 x 5.00 dosage = 2.11 x 5.00 + 0.0654 x 3.50 = Rs 10.7 Cost
= Rs. 10.9 incurred in fine aggregate in 1 m3of concrete at 3 %
Quantity of fine aggregate required for producing 1 dosage = 627.59 x 5.00 + 19.14 x 3.5 = Rs 3205
