Abstract
The research is to determine the effect of used engine oil on concrete compressive strength. The use of used engine oil in construction to ease the removal of formwork and protect the shape of concrete attracts the attention of many stakeholders in the building or construction Industries particularly the engineers whose main concern is the safety of the structure. The contention and confusion trail the industry for so many years without investigating whether it is affecting the concrete or not. The aim of this project is to find the effect of used engine oil on the strength properties of concrete. Engine oil was robbed in the mould in steps of 5ml up to 100ml. The concrete of Grade 20 was prepared and cured for 7 days and 28 days, the strength of the hardened concrete was determined and the result obtained showed that used engine oil increases the slump value of fresh concrete and has no adverse effect on the hardened concrete even though it contains chemical elements that are likely to attack concrete....
