Abstract
Abstract: Air entrained concrete can be produced by introducing suitable air-entraining agent, one such commonly available material in India is Olive Oil which is being used in my experimental work. The primary objective of this study to find the appropriate amount of Olive Oil for strength and density, water absorption, other properties of concrete. For which the amount of Olive oil is varied from 0 %, 2%, 4%, and 6% Olive Oil by weight of 100 kg of cement. The test which was carried out in the experimental work were density, workability, strength, water absorption, the slump of air-entrained concrete. Total 48 No. of the concrete cube was cast for the experimental work. The result of the experiment work shows if Olive Oil is used in the range of 5-6% it will provide better workability, less water absorption with acceptable 5-7% decrease in compressive strength.
