Masonry structures are prone to extensive damage followed byfailure and collapse when subjected to loads resulting from wind, earthquakeand other natural or man-made events. Recent earthquakes and terrorist actshave clearly demonstrated the need for the development of effective andaffordable strategies for the strengthening of masonry. As a response to thesechallenges, fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) composites are found to offertechnically and economically viable solutions. In the context of ...
ABSTRACTThe main aim of the research is to study the mechanical properties of concrete and heir effects in concrete stability and failure. He fractures mechanical properties in particular uniaxial tensile strength Ft, young’s modules Eo and fractures energy Gf as sell as the shape of the stress strain and the stress- deformation relation were investigated for high strength and normal strength concrete. In order to analyzed failure mechanism of the entire fracture cement pasture and ce...
ABSTRACT The study cover a view ad detailed explanation of the modification required to be carried out on the main access road lining federal secretariat and IMT civil soil laboratory and industrial centre order to update it’s services functions. The need for easing the flow of traffic on this access road has risen, since it’s a busy area in the institution. It’s required that the road be modernized and generally upgraded. The existing road is no longer in peak condition and is not...
effects of aggregates sizes on concrete strength
PREFACEThis is the presentation of an information on the detailing of structural members in Buildings. Structural detailing is a branch of structural work that transposes the idea or works f 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 for easy use by a Contractors.The processes of detailing put in place was in conjunction with the recommendation of the conc...
ABSTRACT The project covers a view and detailed explanation of the route survey which in chider reconnaissance surrey, theologize traversing and levelling operation as well as soil tests which includes compaction test, mechanical analysis, plastic and liquid limits and CBR test.The project also covers the design of pavement and the geometric design of the road way TABLE OF CONTENTTITLE PAGEAPPROVAL PAGE DEDICATIONACKNOWLEDGEMENTABSTRACTTABLE OF CONTENTCHAPTER ONE1.0 INTR...
INTRODUCTIONThis work was obligated to present in one. The fundamental and practical information in the filed of the comparative analysis of the strength of concrete made from various aggregate which may be useful to people involve in civil and structural engineering and particularly, those that found pleasure in the design and related structure.Due to high cost of sand in the market the comparative analysis of strength of concrete made from various aggregate play an important rol...
INTRODUCTIONRetaining walls are structures used in providing stability for earth or materials where conditions dis allow the materials from summing its nature al slope or stabilityThere 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 nature of the soil retainedUnder these effects of he nature of soil,. we have the angle of internal content between the particles, t...
ABSTRACTThis project is a fabrication of a standard drawing writing desk using the cheapest, effective and most readily available materials. Method of maintenance and services were also taken into consideration. The functional aspect of the equipment was also given adequate consideration in the project work. Also take into consideration the reliability, portability and general values, appearance of the equipment. A material used for the construction was of best quality, which have excellent p...
ABSTRACTTransportation 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, faltering airfields, and mass-transport blind spots. Overall there appear to be market impediments which operate to limit the extent to which Nigeria...
