In the third world countries, of which Nigeria is one, the situation remains pathetic and pitiable. Subsequently, the 189 United Nation member-St...
ABSTRACT This study adopted experimental design to investigate the suitability of abandoned solid waste site soil (ASWSS) as a foundation material for building construction. Measurements of geotechnical properties of stratified random soil samples of ASWSS and adjoining natural soil (NS) at depths 1.5, 2.0, 2.5, 3.0 and 3.5 m were obtained from six test points in Kaduna, Nigeria. The soil samples were subjected to sieve analysis, Atterberg limits (liquid limit, plastic limit, plasticity index...
ABSTRACT The assumed deflection shapes used in the approximate method such as in the Galerkin method were normally formulated by inspection and sometimes by trial and error , until recently, when a systematic method of constructing such a function in the form of Characteristic Orthogonal Polynomials (COPs) was developed in 1985. However, vibrational analysis of plates with different support and boundary conditions are much more complicated. This project used Characteristic Orthogonal Polynomi...
