ABSTRACT Fire disaster is a great threat to lives and properties, and it accounts for over 70% of total loss of properties and about 20% of total loss of lives every year in Nigeria. Although some conventional fire preventive systems have been developed which are not enough to take prompt action during fire, save properties, and ultimately save lives. Hence, the need to develop an automatic wireless-based fire monitoring, detection and alarm system which is accurate, scalable and energy effi...
ABSTRACT The development in science and technology has vital contribution towards improving the country's economy. One of the sectors that contribute to the country's economy is agriculture which needs the improvement of science and technology from time to time such as in its fertigation system. The manual applications of fertilizer that are commonly used are very stressful and consume enormous time especially when cultivating a large area of land and also do not ensure efficient management ...
ABSTRACT The human eye is a vital organ of vision, which gives us the sense of sight, and is of utmost importance in all day to day activities. However, there are many diseases that affect the human eye and can lead to blindness. The major causes of blindness include glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy and other corneal and retinal infections. However, most of these conditions can be prevented with an early diagnosis. There are several techniques of diagnosis in digital health which can be used f...
ABSTRACT Tracking of vehicles, manage on-site car parking spaces, and warehouse traffic are problem that need real-time solution and can be solve by using character recognition in vehicle plate which can be obtain by using different classifier e.g. artificial neural network, fuzzy logic, Neural-fuzzy hybridization, and generic algorithm, template matching which can solve regression and binary classification problems. This project aims is to develop a system that will detect and recognize pla...
ABSTRACT Not only do soils serves as underfoot" for roads, airfields. train tracks, and houses that sustain our complex society: Engineers, typically geotechnical engineers, classify soils recording to their engineering properties as they relate to its use as foundation support building material. The study of geotechnical characterization of soils in Ikole-Ekiti, Ekiti State was carried out to determine the index properties and strength properties of the soil. The laboratory test carried ...
ABSTRACT Domestic water supply is a daily necessity and key factor in human health and well-being. Without water, life cannot be sustained and lack of access to adequate water supplies leads to wide spread of diseases with children bearing the greatest health burden associated with poor water quality and sanitation. Drinking water is water that is of sufficiently high quality so that it can be consumed or used without risk of immediate or long term harm. Asin-Ekiti community is situated in I...
ABSTRACT Sand has traditionally been used as fine aggregate in structural concrete. It is usually imported from relatively distant places at high costs, and this increases the overall cost of making concrete and of providing housing in various Nigerian communities. This study investigates the performance of 409/o of laterite as fine aggregate in place of sand, and specifically seeks to determine whether lateritic concrete containing pies would satisfy the minimum compressive strength require...
ABSTRACT In an attempt to reduced non-renewable material usage, reduce green-house substances and at the same time be relevant to our environment, this research presents the progress of investigation going on to evaluate some properties of POEBA as partial replacement of cement in the production of structural concrete. This research work is carried out to determine the properties of Palm Oil Empty Bunch Ash (POEBA) when used as partial replacement for Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) in concret...
ABSTRACT Rice Husk Ash (RHA) is one of the most active research areas that encompass a number of disciplines including civil engineering and construction materials. Grinded rice husk (GRH) and RHA is an agricultural waste product which is produced in large quantities globally every year. As the rice husk is piling up every day, there is a pressure on rice industries to find a solution for its disposal. Therefore as part ofa means to curbing this impending pollution problem. It is most essent...
ABSTRACT Agro-based and bio-wastcs generally referred to as solid wastes are good stabilization materials. Different solid wastes have been used by various researchers combining two or more at different times to treat soil and improve its engineering properties since the long term performance of any construction project depends on the soundness of the underlying soils. This paper has discussed the effect of the application of lime at varying percentages of 2%, 4%, 6% and 8%, oil palm frond a...

ABSTRACT The Reuse of waste glass in concrete production is among the attractive option of achieving waste reduction and preserving the natural resources from further depletion thereby protecting the environment and achieving sustainability. This present study examined the variation in the strength prope1ties of concrete using waste glass aggregate (WGA) as partial replacement for different coarse aggregates grading. 20mm and =(25mm coarse aggregates were partially replaced with WGA of respe...
ABSTRACT The condition and adequacy of the highway is often _judged by the smoothness or roughness of the pavement, deficient pavement conditions can result in increased user costs and travel delays, unnecessary braking and fuel consumption, vehicle repairs and probability of increased crashes. Pavement failure is usually a result of several factors which includes traffic impacts on the road, environmental factors, poor maintenance culture, geotechnical characteristics of the subgrade and ot...
ABSTRACT In an attempt to reduce non-renewable material usage, reduce green-house substances and at the same time be relevant to our environment, this research presents the progress of investigation going on to evaluate some properties of EPO-FBA as partial replacement of cement in the production of structural concrete. This research work is carried out to determine the properties of Empty Palm Oil Fruit Bunch Ash (EPO-FBA) when used as partial replacement for Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) ...
ABSTRACT Concrete is a mixture of fine aggregate (sand), coarse aggregate (rock), cement, and water. The increasing demand of concrete for construction and development of infrastructure has drawn the attention of many researchers in searching for less expensive alternatives to the traditional materials employed in the construction industries in an attempt to reduce the high cost of construction. This paper features an experimental study on the replacement of sand with quarry dust and its inf...
