Abstract
The thesis aims at studying the quality of the
sandcrete blocks produced in Kano State and as such journals,
codes, standards and other research materials were consulted
and looked into carefully.
The tests carried out include development strength test
(wet and dry), wet compressive test, drying shrinkage,
moisture movement and density in accordance with established
standards the details of which are presented in chapter three.
The last chapter (chapter 4) discusses the findings of
the research oy indicating that the quality of sandcrete
blocks produced in Kano is low since the compressive strength
lies between (0.25 and 0.92) N/mm2 compared with the minimum
value of 2.50 N/mm2 specified by the code.
