ABSTRACT
Based on the UCS values of HCP (hardened cement paste) composite; the final composites are adequate for manufacturing precast/prestressed elements, construction of structural fill, base and sub-base course, construction of catch basins and manholes and both non-load bearing and load bearing elements. The final composites can also be used in manufacturing Class MX and Class NX paving bricks, standard and special type tile production and manhole brick Grade MS and Grade MM; those bricks are intended to be used in manholes and catch basins not requiring high degrees of abrasive resistance. The final composites are not suitable for heavy vehicular brick applications.
