This research will focus on the environmental and health impact of solid waste management in Saki West Local Government. Efforts will be directed to visit some houses, shops, markets, and commercial areas etc. and dumpsite located within Saki west LGA. The study will be limited only to those who generate waste and dispose waste, either to public or private waste collection service and authorized collector identified by the people, customer/ client and part of the Board and waste management.

ABSTRACT This study investigated the effect of rainfall on the physical, chemical and bacteriological quality of some selected hand-dug well water consumed by students of Ekiti State University, Ado-Ekiti. To this effect, six (6) samples from three (3) hand-dug well used, labeled (Ab, Bb, Cb & Aa, Ba, Ca) indicating before and after rainfall respectively were collected and examined for both the bacteriological and physio-chemical parameters. The bacteriolo...
The sole purpose of this project work is to determine the settlement characteristics of soil for the construction of building, a case study at FUTO Senate Building area and FUTO NDDC hostel area, other objectives are the classification of the soil, determination of the strength properties of these soils and also making of sundry recommendations about the type of foundation most suitable for the construction of buildings on these soils. Soil samples were collected from FUTO Senate...
ABSTRACT The study aimed to assess the quality of drinking water in Olowotedo community of Ogun state, Nigeria. Five samples were taken from different sources (wells, borehole, tap and sachet water) were analyzed, Selection of water samples was carried out using proportionate allocation, equal allocation, simple random sampling and systematic sampling methods depending on the stage. The water quality parameters examined and their results for all the five water samples were; colour having...
Time has come for people to know the implications of engaging non-professional builders in building construction works. The stoppage of engaging non-professional builders would reduce or even stop the event such as shoddy works, use of inappropriate materials/personnel’s and abandonment of project, cost overrun, and inadequate supervision/incompetence and incessant collapse of buildings. This project therefore delved into the imperative of engaging professional builders in building cons...

Plastic bio-sand filter is a prototype of a slow sand filter which purifies water using sand and gravels of specific sizes of (0.36mm, 2.36mm, 6.35mm), this filter has been designed and constructed to evaluate its performance using raw water from fishpond at faculty of Engineering, Ahmadu Bello University Zaria and to remove pathogenic organisms present in the water. The filter is composed of a lid which covers the whole filter from the entrance of debris or contaminants, a perforated pl...
Nigeria has plenty of Agricultural waste products such as coconut fibre, rice husk, corn cob and oil palm frond fibre. If the waste cannot be disposed properly it, will lead to social and environmental problem.The selection of coconut fibre in this study is a good effort in order to reduce a bulk of coconut fibre waste in Nigeria, according to a survey that was conducted by Ministry of Agricultural, Malaysia (Hisbany, 2005). There will be a huge amount of waste with these huge plantations. ...
ABSTRACT Food is inevitable in ones life and fish is a main source of vitamins and protein in ones life. Fish pond is a place for growing fish for commercial or private needs or gestetic purpose. The design of fish pond is very important because of its aqueous retaining nature which if there is leakage will not only cause loss of water but also loss of lives of fish and plants in it. A adequacy and accuracy is relevant in the design of fish pond. The engineer is bordered with the functions o...

This project also involves the design of the pavement and the geometric design of the roadway. TABLE OF CONTENTS Title Page Latter Of Transmittal Approval Page Dedication Acknowledgement Abstract ...
ABSTRACT The work has gone a long way in determining strength of concrete made of various aggregates such as granites stone, black gravel, washed gravel and surface gravel. Some factors such as porosity of the aggregate temperature causing loss of water plate form for mixing of concrete mix affect the workability and eventually the strength of concrete. This project work consist of using hydraulic machine to carryout the compressive test of the strength of concrete made of the earlier ment...
PREFACEThis is the presentation of an information on the structural reinforcement detailing of concrete members. Structural detailing is a branch of structural work that transposes the idea or works of a structural engineer into working drawing or easy utilization in the building construction works. Working drawing are produced an engineer for easy use by the contractors.The processes detailing put in place was in conjunction with the recommendations of the concrete society and the instit...
PREFACE The whole information conveyed in this book has been planned and written for proper understanding of structural detailing of a building. The approach in this book is to provide the readers sound and basic knowledge in structural detailing in a building. Consequently, I have given more details than is normally given in a book concerning detailing of structural members, which include slabs, beam, stairway and column. This book will also provide some bases as a prerequisite in detai...
PREFACE This project is mainly concerned with the presentation of information basically on the structural detailing of reinforced concrete members of a story building, in a sloppy land with a retaining wall. Structural detailing is a branch of structural work that transposes the idea of works of a structural engineer into working drawings for easier utilization in the building construction. Working drawings are drawings produced by engineers for easy execution of a plan by builders. The ...
