Taguchis Parameter Design Approach to normal cement concrete mixture proportioningBy S Sule
Abstract: This paper presents the results of the optimization of normal cement concrete mixture using Taguchi approach. The Taguchi experiments were designed using an L9 orthogonal array with three factors and three levels each. The water-cement ratio (W/C), total aggregate-cement ratio (TA/C) and total aggregate-water ratio (TA/W) were treated as the control factors. The effects of the water-cement ratio, total aggregate-cement ratio and total aggregate-water ratio on the compressive strength were …

Optimization of Compressive Strength of Segmental Interlocking StonesBy S Sule
Abstract: The failure of most segmental interlocking stones used as pavement materials is traceable to lack of knowledge of the mix ratios that would optimize the compressive strength of the end products. In this study, the compressive strength was optimized based on Scheffe’s simplex lattice approach. The reliability of model developed was investigated using F-statistic and was found to be adequate. A computer program written in basic language was used to …
