I won 1st place in the the Environment/Earth/Behavior/Engineering category in high school division.
I still think that I could improve my project, by testing the effects of time, and testing more percentages.
Let me know of any other way that I could make my project better for city-wide.

What I have done so far
Sorry for the delay, and posting after so long.
The things that I have done with the project so far are:
changing the method of testing to make it more simple and easier for me. I use the method of putting the concrete bricks on a two small wood blocks/pieces, which are on top of a weight scale, and I apply pressure by hand, and take notice of when the bricks break.
I have also changed the title to "Waste Reduction Concrete Production"
I used Fly Ash in my experiment, as well, but their are still other percentages that need to be tested.
The focus of the project, tends more toward the use of waste products in concrete, but the basis of the ratio is still important in my project, probably more percentages could be tested.
I have also finished with the experimental part, and tested everything that I could have in the time.
I have finished my entire presentation, and I am prepared for the science fair.
I will very soon post the pictures I have taken as well as other info., edits, and results.
