Abstract
The compressive strength and the expansion of conrete made with both highly and slightly/moderately indurated concretionary laterite gravels were studied. The compressive strength (19–42 MPa) of most of the laterite concrete is comparable with the average strength (45 MPa) of concrete made with the usual granite crushed rock aggregates from the region. The strength of the laterite concrete is mainly dependent on the aggregate-cement bond whereas the physical properties of the aggregates are only of secondary importance.
