ABSTRACT Generally, for existing Insulation co-ordination studies the power system has been modeled either by deterministic mathematical techniques or by statistical methods. The shortcoming of the existing conventional mathematical technique of Insulation co-ordination analysis is that it assumes that the power system dynamics is linear. This makes analysis of over voltage response of the system under transients less optimal for determining over voltage withstand of system elements. Thus, th...
ABSTRACT The assumed deflection shapes used in the approximate method such as in the Galerkin method were normally formulated by inspection and sometimes by trial and error , until recently, when a systematic method of constructing such a function in the form of Characteristic Orthogonal Polynomials (COPs) was developed in 1985. However, vibrational analysis of plates with different support and boundary conditions are much more complicated. This project used Characteristic Orthogonal Polynomi...
ABSTRACT The objective of this research is to investigate the effect of addition of carbide on sewage degradation. To provide answers to the above objective, some laboratory tests were conducted which include Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD), Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD), Total coliform, pH and Suspended Solids (SS) tests. Six experimental set ups of 5liters of sewage were constructed in the laboratory under anaerobic condition. Each of the sewage contained 0g (which served as control), 1g, 2g...
ABSTRACT The study examined the state of health and safety risk management practices in the building sector of the construction industry and has the objectives to: evaluate the construction risks inherent in the building sector of the construction industry; examine the health and safety risk management processes adopted by the construction industry in Nigeria; validate the existence of identified factor(s) militating against the implementation of health and safety practices in the constructio...
In this study, the structural investigation and design of the G+ 12 building with a flat slab as well as a regular slab were accomplished. The project was initiated by performing a literature study regarding the building design by utilising different books and articles. Them, the design attributes, equipment, and materials were chosen for the design of the proposed buildings. The building models having flat slabs and regular slabs were generated by employing the ETABS program. After that, the...
ABSTRACT The construction industry consumes about forty percent of the world’s energy. The high increasing rate of construction activities has led to exploitation of most of the natural resources. These activities have led to massive deforestation and clearing of green cover for settlement and infrastructure development in Kampala. The repercussions of these activities are catastrophic such as poor air quality, urban heat island effect, toxic gas emission, increased cooling costs, which lat...
Abstract In the agricultural projects that use the center pivot irrigation system, which depends on the groundwater wells as a source of water using turbine pumps, which are actuated by internal combustion engines, the suspension of the center pivot irrigation device on the movement when a malfunction occurs with its continuous flow of water is a big problem and waste water, fuel and time, It also damages some crops that are heavily affected by water,this research studies the design of an aut...
Abstract Sudanese rural tanning is an inherited craft. The methods and the indigenous materials employed by the rural tanners have remained unchanged for a long time. This is due to poverty, illiteracy, poor communications and lack of access to modern scientific technologies of leather production. As a result, the leathers produced by rural tanners are hard, crusty, liable to crack, tear. Moreover, the process period is long. The objective of the study is to investigate the possibilities of a...
Abstract Abstract -This study aimed to use and attempted to apply total quality management TQM in the Sudanese garment manufacturing factories to improve productivity and profitability and product quality and solving the factory's problems to meet customer satisfaction and decrease the garment imported and determined the potential of competition of local factories in the local and global market. The study designed and employed two methods, one for local garments factories in Sudan and the sec...
ABSTRACT The study was to design a sanitary landfill in Kapchorwa central division to curb the problem of improper solid waste disposal. According to the study that was conducted within the municipality; it was found out that the municipality majorly had four main sources at which the solid wastes are generated; Residential wastes, Commercial wastes and Institutional wastes Qualitative data was collected to know the characteristics of solid wastes whereas quantitative data was used to measu...
ABSTRACTSolid waste (garbage) is increasingly becoming a big problem in many cities of the world andKansanga Parish in Makindye East Division- Kampala City is no exception. This report is from astudy that looks at the nature, practices, challenges, and possible solutions for garbagemanagement systems at community level in Kansanga Parish, Makindye East division. The studyplaces emphasis on domestic waste. This is because in Kansanga Parish this category generatessubstantial amounts of solid w...
ABSTRACT Rural roads constitute about 65% of the Uganda road network, which provide a critical link in the road transport network, facilitating access to and development of the rural areas. Traffic volume on rural roads in Uganda is very low, 90 % of the rural road network has an Average Annual Daily Traffic (AADT) less than 200, with an average road width of about 5.0 meters. The main problem facing the development of rural roads lies in the method of construction. Common methods used...
ABSTRACT Irrigation is a technology that ensures a good soil-moisture balance resulting into a good environment for crop growth for the well-established irrigation systems This project covered the different sections which included the site visits, desk studies, topographic and geographic studies, nature of the land. The specific objective entailed the determination of pertinent parameters for the design, coming up with the system layout to ensure every farmer gets water and sizing of the pipe...
ABSTRACT The study was to design a water supply system for Muko Ikamiiro parish in Rubanda district. The study was guided by the following objectives mainly to increase access to safe adequate and sustainable water, sanitation and hygiene service delivery. And specifically to characterize and determine the quality of the available water sources, to determine water demand for the community and to design an effective water supply system. The project was carried out with in Ikamiro parish and c...
