Nigeria has plenty of Agricultural waste products such as coconut fibre, rice husk, corn cob and oil palm frond fibre. If the waste cannot be disposed properly it, will lead to social and environmental problem. The selection of coconut fibre in this study is a good effort in order to reduce a bulk of coconut fibre waste in Nigeria, according to a... Continue Reading

ABSTRACT Retaining walls are structures used  in providing stability for earth or materials where conditions this allow the materials from summing its natural 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... Continue Reading

ABSTRACT One of the major problems facing the country is pavement failure. It is the concern of the Institute of Management and Technology (IMT) authorities to carryout a case study of pavement failure along Hillview off ESBS Road Enugu. The investigation show that the pavement failed both structural and functionally taking into consideration. The... Continue Reading

PREFACE In structural detailing, the project is initiated by the structural engineer. The architectural drawings are prepared by the architect to the required scale and specification given to him by the client. The structural engineer designs the structural frame work of the building and specification required such as slab, beam, column and... Continue Reading

PREFACE 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...
