Comparative Study of the Compressive Strength of Concrete made from Different Brands of Cements in Ghana

There is an on-going debate about the strength and durability of different brands cements used for construction in Ghana. This has raised doubts on quality performance cements. Concrete a composite material made aggregates such as sand stone that are mixed uniformly required proportion together with water it to achieve desired its development. Cement important ingredient binds other building materials by combination chemical processes known setting. Among various physical properties cement, compressive most vital property which gives overall assessment concrete shows ability structure withstand loads during lifelong after construction. research investigated six 32.5R 42.5R works Ghana, namely, CIMAF DIAMOND GHACEM SOL SUPACEM cement DANGOTE cement. brands, developed highest 28th day 30.96 N/mm2 lowest 25.89 N/mm2.
