the use of rice husk ash as a stabilizing agent for lateritic soils in the manufacture of blocks for low cost housing
This thesis describes an investigation of the use of rice husk ash, in combination with cement and lime, as a stabilizing agent for lateritic soils in the manufacture of blocks for low cost housing. The effect of the rice husk ash on cement and lime stabilized soils were studied. In order to improve the strength and effect of moisture on the early ... Continue Reading
studies of liquid phase mixing and bed expansion of gas producing anaerobic fluidized bed bioreactor
Liquid phase mixing and holdup are two important parameters required for the modelling and consequent evaluation of the performance of anaerobic fluidized bed bioreactors. Few papers have appeared in recent times, attempting to characterize liquid phase mixing and holdup in simulated biological reactors. But, the peculiar nature of biological syste... Continue Reading
towards simplified computer-based analysis of skewed-bridges
Needs for aesthetics, protection of abutments, and safety requirements of greater speeds on highways, demand better alignment. In order to achieve these, skew bridges are frequently built. The analysis of such structures poses specific difficulties to bridge designers, for example, response to torsional motions when the skew angle is greater than 2... Continue Reading
reliability-based analysis and calibration of eurocode 5 design criteria for a solid timber portal frame
In this study, laboratory tests were conducted on some commonly used timber species (Alstonia boonei, Triplochiton Scleroxylon, Terminalia Ivorensis, Terminalia superba and Lophira Alata) in Nigeria. The tests were in accordance with, EN 408, EN 13153-1 and ASTM D-143). The test results were analysed in accordance with Eurocode 5. Eurocode 0, JCSS ... Continue Reading
economic evaluation of pavement overlay design strategies
(A CASE STUDY OF KADUNA-ABUJA ROAD)
There are two main phases to this work. The first dealt with the overlay thickness design while the second considered economic appraisal of overlay design strategies. Pavement overlay design on Kaduna - Abuja road was carried out based on elastic layer and traffic estimate theories, as well as field and -Laboratory observations. The road was statis...

modelling and simulation of ammonia-water separation for application in absorption heat pump
Theoretical thermodynamic simulations (analyses) were carried out on the Extraction-System-Attached (ESA) Ammonia- Water Absorption Heat Pump cycles which were developed with the aim of improving the thermodynamic performance achievable with the conventional cycle. Theoretical simulation of the liquidliquid- equilibria (LLE) of amnion i a-water-3ol... Continue Reading
process development and equipment design for dextrin manufacture from starch
In a bid to develop local substitute for imported adhesives, seeing that the local consumption is high, an attempt was made to study the process of dextrin manufacture from starch and to design a converter vessel (Dextrinator) for the process. An experimental study was carried out to examine the effect of the various process variables on the produc... Continue Reading
a study of roundabout - mode of operation and performance
In deciding which type of control to provide at an intersection, there should be some criteria used. A typical criterion used in some situations is to minimize the delay to vehicles. While there are established methods for estimating dalays at signal control, there does not seem to be any standard or well established method by which the delay to ve... Continue Reading
development and evaluation of a single-pass vegetable (private) mill
Size reduction is a basic food processing activity and commercial tomato-pepper mills for reducing vegetables and soaked grains are common in Nigeria. A survey of the types and operational problems of tomato-pepper mills in Sabon-Gari Local Government Area (LGA) revealed a neglect of the commercial tomato-pepper mill in terms of design improvement....

sorption of metal ions from aqueous solution by polymer resins:development of a generalized kinetic model
A generalised kinetic model for sorption of metal ions by some sets of polymer resins from aqueous solutions has been developed. For this to be effectively done, one resin type (amberlite IRA 400 CI-, AD 54 OH-, and amberlite IR 45 OH-) was respectively chosen from each set having similar properties for the kinetic study. All attempts to conduct th... Continue Reading
a functional transportation plan for effective worktrip
(A CASE STUDY OF KADUNA METROPOLIS)
This study entails an evaluation of the characteristics of worktrips of a model Nigerian municipality, Kaduna metropolis. It was found that, on the average, 20% of the monthly income of low income earners is expended on worktrips and the average length of travel is more among this group than for high income earners. Comparatively, the mean monthly ... Continue Reading
studies on technological interventions to upgrade selected indigeneous food processes
This study pertains to study of indigenous milk and 'Fura' making processes with aim of introducing technological interventions to upgrade the existing methods. Surveys were undertaken at Kano, Kaduna, Sokoto, Kebbi and Katsina States to find out what the existing practices are and various intricacies involved, studies were also conducted in the la...

on linear elastic strain energy-release rate and the j-integral
A brief review of the trend in Fracture Mechanics studies was provided. Some solutions of elementary fracture mechanics problems were re-investigated. Many of those solutions were shown to have some limitations. These limitations were in the form of introducing some unrealistic stress and displacement distributions. The general applicability of the... Continue Reading
quality of sandcrete hollow blocks produced
(A CASE STUDY OF KOGI STATE)
The quality of any building materials or structural unit cannot be over - emphasized as this is vital to the actual performance and durability of structures. This project is a study of the physical properties of sandcrete hollow blocks produced in Kogi State. Site survey covering the entire state was first carried out. About seventy block industrie...
