PREFACE In structural detailing, the project is initiated by the structural engineer. The architectural drawings are prepared by the architect to the required scale and specification given to him by the client. The structural engineer designs the structural frame work of the building and specification required such as slab, beam, column and foundation. For proper clearification and understanding, the structure is broken down into its component parts and detailed keeping in mind the design co...
ABSTRACT One of the major problems facing the country is pavement failure. It is the concern of the Institute of Management and Technology (IMT) authorities to carryout a case study of pavement failure along Hillview off ESBS Road Enugu. The investigation show that the pavement failed both structural and functionally taking into consideration. The possible cause cure:- (a)Poor sub-grade & sub-base (b)Lack of maintenance culture (c)Poor drainage system (d)Poor workmanship (e)Inaccurate T...
ABSTRACT Groundwater hydrology may be defined as the science of the occurrence distribution, and movement of water below the surface of the earth. Geochydrology has an identical connotation, and hydrogeology differs only by its greater emphasis on geology. Utilization of groundwater dates from ancient times, although an understanding of the occurrence and movement of subsurface water as part of the hydrologic cycle has come only relatively recently. SCOPE:Groundwater referred to without ...
ABSTRACT In the sense that the materials involved in this project were capital intensive more especially cement, so in carrying out the work one must intensive to be careful in the selection and collection of materials to be used in the casting of the concrete. The materials used are coarse aggregate (granite) fine aggregate (sand). The coarse aggregates used in this work were collected from ishiagu while the fine aggregate was collected in front of the carpentry’s workshop on the cam...
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...

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...
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 ...
