Chapter 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background of the study Concrete is widely used in constructing buildings‚ houses and other structures‚ but in order to have a strong structure there are factors to be considered. One of which is compressive strength‚ this is important to the structure especially if it is a high rise building and will be used commercially. The compressive strength of a concrete is important especially to the column of a structure because it resists compression force. Columns must have

ABSTRACT The quality of pipe borne water supplied by Imo State Water Corporation has been assessed by analyzing samples of water collected from different locations for their physicochemical parameters and bacteriological quality. The observed values were compared with standard values given by the World Health Organization for potable water .The quality of the analyzed water is found fit for human consumption.

SODIUM gSodium is a chemical element with the symbol Na (from Latin: natrium) and atomic number 11. It is a soft‚ silver-white‚ highly reactive metal and is a member of the alkali metals; its only stable isotope is 23Na. The free metal does not occur in nature‚ but instead must be prepared from its compounds; it was first isolated by Humphry Davy in 1807 by the electrolysis of sodium hydroxide. Sodium is the sixth most abundant element in the Earth’s crust‚ and exists in numerous minerals such
