Determination of Headway and Average Travel Speed of Vehicles (Case Study of Post Office-Kwara State Polytechnic Permanent Site Car Park Road)

ABSTRACT Since it is compulsory that people and goods move from one part of the country to the other or within particular defined regional area, the facilities used for this purpose need to be well planned, designed and constructed. Inadequate and unplanned traffic control constitute a lot of problems resulting in delay, congestion, immobility to uneasy access to transport etc. This project is to determine the headway and average travel speed of vehicles (Case study of post office- Kwara Sta...

An Investigation Into Water Demand And Distribution in Ilorin West Local Government (A Case Study of Egbejila)

  ABSTRACT This project work examined the water demand and supply in Egbejila area of Ilorin west local government, Kwara State. The three main users of water focused upon in the study area are residential, commercial (block industry, hair salon, food canteen) and agricultural water use. Also, the three main sources of water available to the users i.e. borehole, pipe borne water and well water supplies were investigated to determine the effectiveness of these sources of water in meeting up ...

Modeling Of Gas Pollution From Ilorin Animal Waste Dumpsite

ABSTRACT Atmospheric emission of trace gases such as carbon (iv) oxide (co4), carbon (II) oxide (co), methane (ch4) e.t.c. associated with animal waste are world wild problem and may contribute to a detrimental impact on the environment in such a way that millions of people will be affected especially poor people who live in precarious location or depend on land for sustenance living. And this effect was determined by modeling the effect of trace gases on the environment. The two (2) main a...

Estimation Of Bridge Scour Using Hec 18 And Bd 97/12(A Case Study Of Twin Bridges Along Benin - Ofuso - Ore - Ajebandele- Shagamu Dual Cariageway In Ondo State)

ABSTRACT A bridge is a structure built to span physical obstacles without closing the way underneath such as a body of water, valley, or road, for the purpose of providing passage over the obstacle. There are many different designs that each serve a particular purpose and apply to different situations. Designs of bridges vary depending on the function of the bridge, the nature of the ten-ain where the bridge is constructed and anchored, the material used to make it, and the funds available t...

Rice Husk Ash And Grinded Rice Husk Effect On The Compressive Strength And Workability Of Concrete

ABSTRACT The importance of concrete in modem society cannot be underestimated. There is no escaping from the impact of concrete on everyday life. Concrete is a composite material which is made of filler and a binder. Typical concrete is a mixture of fine aggregate (sand), coarse aggregate (rock), cement, and water. Nowadays the usage of concrete is increasing from time to time due to the rapid development of construction industry. The usage of concrete is not only in building construction bu...

Compaction And Strength Characterisitcs Of Soils In Ikole-Ekiti Area And Their Influence In Civil Engineering Construction

ABSTRACT This study investigates the influence of two main geotechnical properties of soils in the town of Ikole-Ekiti on civil engineering construction. The strength and compaction characteristics of the natural soil were determined. The investigation was carried out through laboratory tests on disturbed and undisturbed soil samples obtained from four trial pits (Samples A, B, C & D) in the town, across Ilotin, Ijemo-Titun, Yeye-Oba and Asin respectively. The samples were collected between ...

Access To Domestic Water Supply Via Mechanical And Non Mechanical Energy System By Household In Using Ikole Local Government Area Ekiti State Nigeria

ABSTRACT This project is designed to determine households' access to domestic water supply via mechanical and non-mechanical energy system in Usin, Ikole local government area Ekiti State Nigeria, in terms of quality and quantity as the importance of adequate safe water supply to human health cannot be over emphasized. However, safe/improve water supply to most Nigerian cities is still inadequate. In the study area the relationship between water quality the degree of water source protecti...

Consolidation And Compaction Characteristics Of Soil At Ikole Campus Of Federal University Oye-Ekiti, Ekiti State.

ABSTRACT  Assessing the geotechnical parameters helps in improving the soil settlement which usually causes damage to the civil structure. Compaction is one of the most important and routine engineering techniques, performed to assure the safety and stability of soils. In this study, geotechnical investigations at the lkole campus of Federal University Oye-Ekiti, Ekiti State are carried out for undisturbed and ·disturbed samples obtained at five (5) specified locations and at a depths of t...
