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... Continue Reading

ABSTRACT Urban population is rapidly increasing in Ilorin along with attendant increased water demand. The inadequacies of water supply services has forced the populace to depend on dug wells, boreholes, water tankers, street vendors etc. for their water needs. People spend hour’s daily carrying jerry can all around to collect and queue for... 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 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

CHAPTER ONE  INTRODUCTION  1.1 BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY AND ORGANIZATIONAL PROFILE  Seeley (1997) described the construction industry as one of the most important sectors of the economy, which integrates a wide variety of skilled and unskilled professionals. These professionals engage in the provision of goods and services ranging from... Continue Reading

ABSTRACT This project, aimed at investigating the anaerobic processes in septic tank as a waste water treatment option using waste water from septic tank and Soakaway as sample A and B respectively. It was observed that after the  analysis, sample A (septic tank which has fresh waste water) has higher value in conductivity =1708us/ cm3, Total... Continue Reading

ABSTRACT             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.             This project implement the following analysis...

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

ABSTRACT In the sense that the materials involved in this project were capital intensive more especially cement, so in carrying out the work one must intensive to be careful in the selection and collection of materials to be used in the casting of the concrete. The materials used are coarse aggregate (granite) fine aggregate (sand). The coarse... 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
