Retaining walls are structures used in providing stability for earth or materials where conditions dis allow the materials from summing its nature al 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 ... Continue Reading
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. Continue Reading
This study was carried out on River Atuwara in Ota, Ogun State, Nigeria with the aim of developing a coefficient of re-aeration model applicable to River Atuwara and other rivers in the Nigerian environment. This was achieved by sourcing for data once every month from 22 sampling locations of interest within a pre-selected segment of the ri... Continue Reading
This 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 ... Continue Reading
In structural detailing, the project is initiated by the structural Engineer. The Architectural drawings are prepared by the Archived to the required scale and specification given to him by the client. The Structural Engineer designs the structural framework of the building and specification required such as slab, beam, column and foundation. For... Continue Reading
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... Continue Reading
This project work consist of using hydraulic machine to carryout the compressive test of the strength of concrete made of the earlier mentioned aggregated. From the result obtain, it is quite clear that their strength are not the same, The result also reflect the strength of aggregate since their strength can be directly determined. Continue Reading
Sandcrete blocks are prismatic units manufactured from lean (sand-cement) mortar mixes and are the predominant walling materials used in buildings in Nigeria and other countries. Although the blocks are preferred to other similar walling material such as bricks and concrete blocks due to the availability of the dominant material (sand) in the count... Continue Reading
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. Continue Reading
The study cover a view and a detailed explanation of the modification required to be carried out on the main access road linkage of the Campus III Industrial center from federal Secretariat to Mass Communication Department of the Institution in order to update its services and functions. The need for easing the flow of traffic on this access road ... Continue Reading
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... Continue Reading
Retaining walls are structures used in providing stability for earth or materials where conditions do not give room for the material to assume its natural slope and are mostly used to hold back soil banks, coal or over, piles and water. Retaining walls are distinguished from aone another based on the method of achieving stability. There are six... Continue Reading
This report presents results obtained from the investigation and water sampling exercise carried out on the segment of River Illo that passes through Sango in Ado Odo-Ota Local Government Area, Ogun State, Nigeria. The report reveals that while some people used water from the river for domestic, food production and recreation purposes, othe... Continue Reading
This project involves the route survey which includes: reconnaissance survey, theodolite traversing and leveling operations as well as soil tests which includes; plastic limit test, liquid limit tests and moisture content determination, compaction tests and California bearing ratio tests. Continue Reading
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. T... Continue Reading
