PROPERTIES OF CORAL STONE AS A LOW COST BUILDING MATERIAL

AN INVESTIGATION INTO DURABILITY, WEATHERING AND SOME STRENGTH PROPERTIES OF NATURAL CORAL BUIDING STONES.

BY: PAUL OCHIENG ODERA

SUPERVISOR: S.K MUTUA

Abstract

Natural coral stone is used as a building material for coastal settlements throughout the Indian Ocean, Arabian/ Persian Gulf and the Red Sea. It remains a favored building material along the coastal region because of its functional and decorative characteristics despite the lack of standards and specifications for the building stones. In this study, two different samples of coral stones have been obtained from the South Coast (SC) and the North Coast quarries (NC) of the Kenya’s coastal region. An investigation into their durability, weathering and strength (compressive and tensile) properties have been done through laboratory tests that have been carried out in accordance with the Kenya standard for tests on natural building stones obtained from the Kenya Bureau of Standards (KEBS) headquarters, Nairobi-Kenya.

The weathering test has been done in cycles using the gypsum (CaSO₄.2H₂O) salt attack on the stones and the results have been reported in terms of the percentage increase in absorption and percentage increase in volume of the samples. The attack has been found to be more pronounced in the SC samples than the NC samples. Similarly the durability test has been carried out as sodium sulphate soundness (SSS) test for 5 cycles and the results has been reported in a percentage change in mass. The NC samples have been found to be sounder than SC samples since the latter samples experienced larger mass reduction than former samples because of the more effect of sodium sulphate (NaSO₄.10H₂O) crystallization on the SC samples than the NC samples.

The strength tests have been performed in both dry and saturated conditions and from the test results, the dry condition compressive, flexural and tensile strengths have been found to be higher than saturated condition strengths. Eventually, the NC samples gave higher strengths in both condition and have been found to stronger than SC samples. These values have been found to compare favorably with the specified values of the most commonly used natural building stone in the region-Limestone and tuff. The coral stone has therefore been recommended for use as supplementary low cost building material in the coastal region.

MEET THE CHALLENGER, MEET ODERA PAUL- GEARED FOR REAL TRANSFORMATION

TRANSFORMATION MOMENT FOR OUR CONTINENT-KENYA'S MOVE TO TRANSFORMATION

HELLO YOUTHS,

it's our real time for real action!

Let us try the impossibles , it is true we might find no competition and get more pleasure in doing what they say we can not -----------------------------------------------------------------WELCOME!

ODERA PAUL THE SONU ORGANIZING SEC. 2010/11 NOW CHAMPIONING FOR YES VOTES FROM THE STUDENTS FRATERNITY

Hello fellows,
It is during adversity when one can really make a big difference. But making a difference is not about being a big hero. It is simply about leaving the bathroom a little cleaner going out, than when you came in.Right people are needed in leadership.
This is a humble call from the students fraternity of the great Higher institutions of learning to soberly have the right sense of reasoning and give way to this transformation that has come our way as the youths in a holistic manner with no exasperation nor hype as we know change starts with us and is until we change our mindset that we will experience the real transformation for our generation.
I therefore fully and harmoniously express my interest in ensuring achievement to what the comrades have been yearning for by looking into it that proper organization is put in order to deliver the trans-formative constitution.
Comrades your vote count and please without fear of doubt Prov. 29 will guide us to get what we want.While knowledge talks wisdom listen,and if we criticize our generation we will forget who raised it and the only time we run out of chances is when we stop taking them-the chance is here with us comrades to prove our worth bcoz "One does what one is; One becomes what one does.Hosea 4:6-lets not perish because we lack knowledge, we've got it and the mandate is with us----------------------------------------KATIBA SASA, CHANGE NOW AND IF NOT NOW THEN RIGHT NOW!
God Bless you abudantly

HELLO COMRADES,
Procastination will finish our Generation and this is the real time for transformation we have been yearning for. On 4th August I welcome all of you to this wonderful move and vote in the new proposed constitutionas a tool and vessel of incredible and intensive change for our generation.
KATIBA FOR CHANGE

STUDENTS FOR YES PRESS STATEMENT

We the executive committee of the Students for Yes (SFY) consortium are here today to express our stand on the proposed constitution. SFY consortium is an umbrella group of like minded student leaders from various Tertiary colleges and Universities in Kenya who have taken an initiative to read, scrutinize and analyze the draft hence informed enough to support it upon conviction. We are saying YES to the draft because it not only recognizes our sovereignty as citizens of this nation as indicated in chapter 1 article 1 of the same draft, but also provide for us (the youths) a platform for development and self actualization. This is expressed in the noble article 55 of the same draft which states that:-“The government shall take measures including affirmative action, to ensure that the youths:
a) Have access to relevant education and training
b) Have access to employment
c) Are protected from harmful cultural practices and exploitation
Article 40(5) of the same draft enshrines that the state shall support, promote and protect the intellectual property rights of the people of Kenya
Article 237(1) provides for the establishment of the TSC which shall:
a) Review the standards of education and training of persons entering the teaching profession
b) Advice the national government on matters related to the teaching profession
These among others are serious issues that touch our livelihoods as students and the students to come, we are therefore grateful that we have been accommodated in this transformative draft and our interests looked into.
As students and youths of this nation for that matter, it is time we take control and move this country to higher levels of prosperity and development and development as dreamt of by the founding fathers of this Great land……name them.
Africa has complained for along time about poor leadership and we as youths of Kenya, we are saying enough is enough to the plethora issues of corruption and nepotism, the culture of impunity, inequality in distribution of resources and the mongrel traits of our current constitution.
Mc Gregor talked about leaders who instill purpose in people and raise the led to higher levels of morality and understanding and indeed this is what we need for Kenya to have a new face as provided for in the draft constitution. We therefore call upon the church to pray for the will of God in this nation and should therefore stop condemning the country and instead instill morality to our people and urge for the right sense of reasoning.
We are driven by this golden thought to propel our support for this draft of which we intend to executive by organizing debates in all our higher learning institutions, students’ walks for YES to enable students and youths vote from an informed grounding full of knowledge.
To conclude, we are appealing to all Kenyans to cling to their mother’s milk of democracy and pass this draft constitution come the referendum time because this is an extra ordinary time which calls on all of us to put the interest of our beloved country forward as was done by the leadership of this country to rescue us from a repeat of the 2007-2008 post poll turmoil. The constitution is yours, the constitution is mine and the constitution is for the Kenyan citizens.

Thank you all and may God Bless our country KENYA.
