SUITABILITY OF LOCAL CLAYS FOR RADIOACTIVE WASTE DISPOSAL

ABSTRACTSix local clays namely Bomo, Bukuru, Kankara, Manjahota, Onibode and Upkor were studied for use as wasteform for fixation of strontium ion in radioactive wastes. The clays were characterized with respect to cation exchange capacity, organic carbon content and crystal structure. Then the m...

ELIMINATING SPEED CONSTRAINTS ALONG KADUNA-ZARIA RAILWAY LINK

ABSTRACTAt the moment, the Railway system in Nigeria is generally unreliable and inefficient. For instance, the journey time on Kaduna to Zaria rail link of 84 km takes 2 hours 15 minutes compared to 45 minutes by road. The problem is due largely to line related infrastructures and geometrical li...

MODELLING THE PERFORMANCE OF SELECTED STATIONARY GRAIN THRESHERS

ABSTRACTSimulation can be achieved by setting up a model, of a real situation (system) and then performing experiments on the model. It is widely used as a research and management tool in Engineering analysis, design and industry because of the complexity of agricultural systems. In this thesis, ...

PAVEMENT MATERIALS SELECTION: A DECISION THEORY APPROACH

ABSTRACTIn highway pavement design, the main factors considered are the expected traffic, subgrade strength, and the constituent materials for the pavement structure. Associated with each of these factors, however, are elements of uncertainty. Ignoring these uncertainties, means that either high ...

THE USE OF ENCASED TIMBER AS ALTERNATIVE TO REINFORCED CONCRETE COLUMNS

ABSTRACTThe cost of steel rods and cement has become so high that it is becoming increasingly difficult for an average Nigerian to build reinforced concrete houses. Even though coarse aggregates could be got locally, the cost of production is also high. Thus, fewer houses are being erected nowada...
