Effect of Nitric Acid Concentration on the Compressive Strength of Laterized Concrete
Laterized concrete is concrete in which some or all of the fine aggregates is from laterite. In this study, the effects of
varying nitric acid concentrations (0%, 5%, 10%, 15%, and 20%), mix proportions (1:1:2, 1:1½:3), exposure period
(28, 56, and 84 days) and percentage laterite content (0%, 25%, and 50%) on the compressive strength of laterized
concrete were investigated. The tests were...
