4.  To observe the compressive strength of concrete made of
Sylhet Sand.
 To observe the compressive strength of concrete made of
Local Sand.
 To observe the compressive strength of concrete made of
different proportions of Local sand & Sylhet sand.
 To compare the compressive strength and to determine the
economic Local & Sylhet sand ratio which give the best
performance.

5.  CEMENT:
In our thesis we used Scan Cement for all casting work. This cement contains
clinker, gypsum, fly ash, slag, lime stone and others.

Conclusion:
 It has been observed that compressive strength of SS100(100% Sylhet
Sand) is maximum for 7, 14 and 28 days.
 It has been observed that compressive strength of SS00(0% Sylhet Sand)
is minimum for 7, 14 and 28 days.
 For 28 days, Compressive strength of SS75 is 9.42% less than SS100.
Compressive strength of SS50 is 19.33% less than SS100. Compressive
strength of SS25 is 23.14% less than SS100. And Compressive strength of
SS00 is 34.16% less than SS100.
 For 14 days, Compressive strength of SS75 is 7.26% less than SS100.
Compressive strength of SS50 is 15.32% less than SS100. Compressive
strength of SS25 is 24.25% less than SS100. And Compressive strength of
SS00 is 36.57% less than SS100.

37. 37
Conclusion:
 For 7 days, Compressive strength of SS75 is 9.23% less than SS100.
Compressive strength of SS50 is 26.65% less than SS100. Compressive
strength of SS25 is 28.68% less than SS100. And Compressive strength
of SS00 is 34.23% less than SS100.
 By evaluating and comparing the results, it may be suggested that
local sand up to 50% may be used with Sylhet sand for economic
purpose.
