Assessment of the Technology Choices for Rural Road Construction (A Case study of Otuke and Alebtong Districts)

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...

A Proposed Design of A Water Distribution System Using Epanet Forserere District

INTRODUCTION PROJECT BACKGROUND   globally and considering the hydraulic cycle, water is in constant motion from the land surface to the atmosphere and from atmosphere to the ground or land surface. run off is experienced when heavy rains are experienced. this run off normally erodes loads of silt sediments and this mixes with streams, lakes and pollutes surface water (chang 2004). in china due to industrialisation, the water cycle has been tempered with. this is due to production of tox...

Assessing The Capacity And Performance Of Kubiri Roundabout

ABSTRACTUse of roundabouts as a viable traffic control measure of traffic flow at priority points is increasing in most of growing towns in Uganda. Their strength lies in their ability to reduce the number of vehicular conflicts at intersections and thereby enhance intersection capacityand safety. There are additional intangible benefits of roundabouts such as their traffic calming effect, gateway feature and aesthetics. Increasingly, many roundabouts in growing urban town...
