Abstract
In this paper, a mathematical model is developed to predict the compressive strength of segmental interlocking stones using Ibearugbulem’s regression function. The formulated model was tested for adequacy at a 95% confidence level using Student’s t-test and was adequate. The experimental points were also found to align with the predicted values at different points of observation, showing that the model formulated is reliable. A computer program developed using Visual Basic 6.0 was invoked to quickly predict the mix ratios corresponding to a specified value of compressive strength and vice versa.
