This paper demonstration the influence of concrete aggregates on compressive and tensile strength, the initial rate of water absorption (IRA) water absorption, surface porosity and pore size, stress-strain relationships and elastic properties of soil-cement blocks. Also the strength of the cement stabilized blocks of literate soil was determined in... Continue Reading
Common river sand is expensive due to excessive cost of transportation from natural sources. Also large-scale depletion of these sources creates environmental problems. As environmental transportation and other constraints make the availability and use of river sand less attractive, a substitute or replacement product for concrete industry needs to...

This thesis presents results of the poor drainage system; investigate on Agaro – Bedele paved road in oromia region and proposed mitigation measures. Mitigation measures were proposed based on ERA highway drainage manuals 2002 and 2011 for Low Volume Roads. The drainage system is to prevent onsite wat... Continue Reading
This is the essential cornerstone of its system, duties, and obligations, to which it pays due attention. The Basic Law of Saudi Arabia provides for deriving power from the Holy Qur\'an and Sunnah, which rule over this Law and all other laws of the Kingdom. Continue Reading
This is presentation of information on the detailing of structural members in Buildings. Structural detailing is a branch of structural work that transposes the ideal or works of 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 f... Continue Reading
This case study is â€�“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. 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
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 a\\one another based on the method of achieving stability. There are six... 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
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
This project was conceived for the main purpose of comparing the strength of concrete produced using gravel stone or granite or crushed stone as coarse aggregate can be effectively used for concrete work. The crushed or granite stone aggregate was obtained from Abakaliki while the gravel stone aggregate was obtained from different sources in Enggu... Continue Reading
The general objective of this study is to critically examine the refuse management problems in Enugu metropolis in terms of patterns, storage and final disposal with a view to findings solution to Len. Continue Reading
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
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
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
