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 project is mainly concerned with the presentation of information basically on the structural detailing of reinforced concrete members of a story building, in a sloppy land with a retaining wall. Structural detailing is a branch of structural work that transposes the idea of works of a structural engineer into working drawings for easier utili... Continue Reading
This study examined the effects of effluent discharges from various point-loads on a purposively selected receiving river, the self-recovery ability of the river and the treatability of both the discharges and the receiving stream in a heavily industrialized community. The work involved field survey of industries producing and discharging ... 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
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.

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 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 water st... 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
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
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
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
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 “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
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
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...
