Abstract

Rabiu Ahamd Abubakar*

This study focused on the engineering design and construction of a cement pillar to evaluate its structural integrity and load-bearing capacity. The design phase involved selecting an optimal cement mix ratio, calculating dimensions, and assessing factors like curing time and reinforcement needs. During construction, standardized methods were followed to ensure consistency in material composition and structural stability. After curing, the pillar was subjected to incremental load tests to determine its compressive strength, deformation behavior, and failure threshold. Results indicated that the constructed pillar achieved a maximum compressive strength of 43.8 MPa before failure. The findings provided valuable data on the pillar's load resistance and structural performance, offering insights for potential improvements in future designs and applications.
