Abstract

This study provides the suitability of ground water of a village named Boloor of Dakshina Kannada District, Mangalore for construction practice in the wet season and dry season. So, concrete cubes of M20 grade with water-cement ratio of 0.45 is been casted from the 15 water samples of different region of the locality to find compressive strength at 7 and 28 days for both wet season and dry season. For calculating the water quality of 15 ground water samples various parameters like pH, alkalinity, chloride, iron, hardness etc were compared with Indian Standard Drinking water specification IS: 10500-2012. It involves comparison of strength characteristics of ground water and potable water.
