• The main objective of this research was to determine if it will increase the
compressive the strength of the concrete with aloe vera and okra extract as
an admixture.
• With a limited time, the researchers cured 12 samples of mixture for 7 days
before the testing.
METHODOLOGY
• The researchers made 4 batches of concrete mix containing 15% aloe vera
and okra mixture, 30% aloe vera and okra mixture, and 45% aloe vera and
okra mixture, a 0% standard concrete mixture for reference.
• Curing time should be for 28 days, but given the remaining time on the
semester, the researchers only cured the samples for 7 days.
• After curing for 7 days, the samples were taken to a laboratory where a
Universal Testing Machine is used for testing concrete
RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
• Every biopolymer concrete samples measured the weight inside the UTM
laboratory.
• The weight of every biopolymer concrete sample were almost the same or
where practically the same
• Upon testing, the force applied in the concrete cylinder samples and upon
breaking, the concrete cylinder samples have a different break force.
