CHAPTER ONE BACKGROUND TO THE STUDY 1.0       INTRODUCTION Right from when man stated to build, he has been compelled to use the locally available materials around him. Building has now become major construction material allover the world has necessitated a critical study of its constituent materials. More so, the present economic crunch... Continue Reading

ABSTRACT This project is designed to determine households' access to domestic water supply via mechanical and  non-mechanical energy system in Usin, Ikole local government area Ekiti State Nigeria, in terms of  quality and quantity as the importance of adequate safe water supply to human health cannot be over  emphasized. However, safe/improve... Continue Reading

ABSTRACT This project work is concerned with assessment to different types of foundation and their mode of construction though looks like a literature review but entails full information and chosen. Foundation samples were limited to three different locations within Ilorin metropolis. Terzaghi equation was used for determining soil bearing... Continue Reading

ABSTRACT The Reuse of waste glass in concrete production is among the attractive option of achieving waste reduction and preserving the natural resources from further depletion thereby protecting the environment and achieving sustainability. This present study examined the variation in the strength prope1ties of concrete using waste glass... Continue Reading

ABSTRACT Most people living in rural communities, have no access to good domestic water for  consumption. The inhabitants depends on rain water, well water and sometimes surface  water for consumption. Improper treatment of water gotten from these sources, can lead  to the spread of water borne diseases, because, sometimes the water gotten from... Continue Reading

ABSTRACT Transportation is a requirement for every nation, regardless of its industrial capacity, population size or technological development. The Nigerian transport systems, right from inception, were poorly designed and are unable to scale up to meet greater demand, a design flaw which causes traffic congestion on roads, overstressed railways,...

ABSTRACT Since it is compulsory that people and goods move from one part of the country to the other or within particular defined regional area, the facilities used for this purpose need to be well planned, designed and constructed. Inadequate and unplanned traffic control constitute a lot of problems resulting in delay, congestion, immobility to... Continue Reading

ABSTRACT 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. This project also involves the design of the... Continue Reading

ABSTRACT 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...

ABSTRACT Agro-based and bio-wastcs generally referred to as solid wastes are good stabilization materials. Different solid wastes have been used by various researchers combining two or more at different times to treat soil and improve its engineering properties since the long term performance of any construction project depends on the soundness of...

ABSTRACT The study was undertaken to measure the variational change in residual chlorine decay in water distribution network. A total of 330 water sample were collected at different periods of the day for ten days. Ten water sample locations at water stand taps, were taken for the study area in Calabar South Local Government Area of Cross River... Continue Reading

Abstract In countries where industrialization is on the rise there is a corresponding increase in waste production resulting from industries which eventually upsetsthe environment and community for which they provide. While most of these waste generated are hazardous and should be managed, others could be put to appropriate use either directly or... Continue Reading

ABSTRACT Environmental pollution with petroleum and petrochemical products has been recognized as one of the most important and serious challenges facing environment engineers. Disposal from mechanic sites, accidental leakages from petroleum carrying ships, vandalization of pipelines, have all contributed to the current common oil pollution in... Continue Reading

INTRODUCTION PROJECT BACKGROUND globally and considering the hydraulic cycle, water is in constant motion from the land surface to the atmosphere and from atmosphere to the ground or land surface. run off is experienced when heavy rains are experienced. this run off normally erodes loads of silt sediments and this mixes with streams, lakes and...
