ABSTRACT This thesis on a project undertaken by the author is aimed at providing explanation of the basic theory of the work of road design and its associated activities also, to cover practical methods of working. In pursuit of the meaningful completion this project a lot of investigation was embarked with principles and practice of road construction. The total distance of route was determined and stations established bearing in mind the intervisibility of the stations. Leveling was carri...
ABSTRACT This case study is “comparing the strength of blocks made from: cement stabilized laterite blocks, cement stabilized red earth blocks and sand, red earth and laterite blocks and mud blocks dried in the kiln. This project implement the following analysis (1)To effect reduction to the rise in market price of sand (fine aggregate), cement blocks to substitute literate blocks. (2)To determine the strength of the cement stabilized blocks of literate soil in the soil laborat...
PREFACE This case study is an existing pathway or fort path linking Ugwuji and Campus 111 (IMT) for a proposed road construction by the government of Enugu State. This project encloses the following -The condition of the existing sub-grade and its suitability for use as a good sub-grade soil material by processes of different lab test. -Using the group index method and CBR method to design a flexible pavement on the pathway under consideration. -The optimum moisture content (OMC) and the m...
ABSTRACTRetaining walls are structures used in providing stability for earth or materials where conditions this allow the materials from summing its natural slope or stability.There are many factors affecting or militating against the stability of retaining walls. These includes the level of water table behind the wall, size of the base of the wall and nature of the soil retained.Under these effects of he nature of soil. We have the angle of internal content between the particles, the cohes...

A clear insight into the affinity of biochar towards water is critical for its intended application. The state of the biochar would govern its use for a particular application. For example, hydrophilic biochar is preferred when sorption or organic contaminants are concerned. It is, at present, not clearly established the factors that govern the hydrophilicity and/or hydrophobicity of a biochar. Comprehension of the factors that affect the affinity of biochar towards water would aid to create ...

Masonry structures are prone to extensive damage followed by failure and collapse when subjected to loads resulting from wind, earthquake and other natural or man-made events. Recent earthquakes and terrorist acts have clearly demonstrated the need for the development of effective and affordable strategies for the strengthening of masonry. As a response to these challenges, fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) composites are found to offer technically and economically viable solutions. In the...
Nowadays, consumption of rice is increasing that leads to the greater demand in the production of it. After harvesting and shelling, husk remains and comes in great volume. Thus this rice husk is one of the big problems to be considered. Some studies suggested a solution to put rice husk ash as partial substitute to cement in concrete mixing in order to minimize the large quantity of rice husks build up as time goes by. Reinforced concrete is concrete in which reinforcing bars or other typ...
ABSTRACT The main aim of the research is to study the mechanical properties of concrete and heir effects in concrete stability and failure. He fractures mechanical properties in particular uniaxial tensile strength Ft, young’s modules Eo and fractures energy Gf as sell as the shape of the stress strain and the stress- deformation relation were investigated for high strength and normal strength concrete. In order to analyzed failure mechanism of the entire fracture cement pasture and cemen...
ABSTRACT The study cover a view ad detailed explanation of the modification required to be carried out on the main access road lining federal secretariat and IMT civil soil laboratory and industrial centre order to update it’s services functions. The need for easing the flow of traffic on this access road has risen, since it’s a busy area in the institution. It’s required that the road be modernized and generally upgraded. The existing road is no longer in peak condition and is not cap...

PREFACE This is the presentation of an information on the detailing of structural members in Buildings. Structural detailing is a branch of structural work that transposes the idea or works f a structural engineer in working drawings for easy utilization in the building Construction works. Working drawing are produced by an architect and a structural Engineer for easy use by a Contractors. The processes of detailing put in place was in conjunction with the recommendation of the concrete ...
