V. CASTING PROCEDURE:
5.1 Workability
In present work, the main object is to resolve the
behavior of concrete in compression and tension
by adding waste engine oil as admixtures into the
concrete. Waste engine oil was added separately
by weight of cement at 0, 0.1, 0.3, 0.5 and 1.0%
into the concrete. For which cubes were cast to
estimate the compressive strength and split
tensile strength of concrete. Workability of
concrete was studied by performing the slump
cone test and compaction factor test. For every
dosage of admixture, slump cone and
