Abstract Construction is an inherently dangerous process that has traditionally had a high rate of accidents.  This production is due to the fact that unlike other production industries, the construction industry is unique and complex.  However, it is a fact that the work place (construction job site) cannot be completely free from hazard hence the concept of safety is relative.  This project work is going to be primarily written to ...

Abstract Software is any set of machine-readable instruction that directs a computer processor to perform specific operations. Microsoft project software (MS Project) is one of such software that is a program developed and sold by Microsoft which is designed to assist a project manager in developing a plan, assigning resources to task tracking work progress, managing the budget ,analyzing work load schedule, upgrade information and communication status in building project ...

Abstract Sandcrete blocks are prismatic units manufactured from lean (sand-cement) mortar mixes and are the predominant walling materials used in buildings in Nigeria and other countries. Although the blocks are preferred to other similar walling material such as bricks and concrete blocks due to the availability of the dominant material (sand) in the country and the ease of manufacture, the material is known to have several drawbacks: it has a ...

ABSTRACT  This study was carried out on River Atuwara in Ota, Ogun State, Nigeria with the aim of developing a coefficient of re-aeration model applicable to River Atuwara and other rivers in the Nigerian environment. This was achieved by sourcing for data once every month from 22 sampling locations of interest within a pre-selected segment of the river over a period covering the dry and wet seasons. The data collected ...

ABSTRACT A lateritic soil classified as sandy clay or (CL) and A-7-6 (5) according to Unified Soil Classification System (USCS) and AASHTO classification system respectively,was treated with up to 10% pulverized steel slag (an industrial waste product) by dryweight of soil. Elemental and chemical analysis of the steel slag was determined using x-ray fluorescence spectroscopy. Tests were carried out to determine the index properties, compaction characteristics (maximum dry density, MDD ...

CHAPTER ONE INTRODUCTION 1.1      Background to the Study Water is life and the quality and adequacy of water is an essential measure of the quality of life or rather the existence of life. Consequently water quality management is (or should be) one of the most important activities of mankind, so as to protect and save human life. The management of water quality, or the protection of the aquatic ecosystem in a ...

ABSTRACT The study cover a view and a detailed explanation of the modification required to be carried out on the main access road linkage of the Campus III Industrial center from federal Secretariat to Mass Communication Department of the Institution in order to update its services and functions. The need for easing the flow of traffic on this access road shall rise, since it s a commercial center in the ...

ABSTRACT This thesis on a project undertaken by the author is aimed at providing explanation of the basic theory  of the  work of road design and its associated activities also, to cover practical methods of working. In pursuit of the meaningful completion this project a lot of investigation was embarked with principles and practice of road construction. The total distance of route was determined and stations established bearing in mind ...

ABSTRACT  This report presents results obtained from the investigation and water sampling exercise carried out on the segment of River Illo that passes through Sango in Ado Odo-Ota Local Government Area, Ogun State, Nigeria. The report reveals that while some people used water from the river for domestic, food production and recreation purposes, others discharge their wastes without any form of pre-treatment into it. The multipurpose usage of water from ...

CHAPTER ONE COLLECTION OF SAMPLES AND LABORATORY TESTING PROGRAM The test carried out in this project was on distributed soil sample. This implies collecting soil samples that are disfigured their natural shape. Soil samples were collected on three (3) trial pit along Ugwuaji and Campus 111 IMT Enugu. A total of three (3) samples were collected from the trial pits (one from each pit) using pick are and spade. The ...

ABSTRACT Cost estimating is a key activity in quantity surveying profession and in contractor's organization. The research work is to investigate into current cost estimation practices of contractors in Akwa Ibom state. The objectives were to identify the techniques used in cost estimating by the construction contractors, identify the causes of inaccuracy in construction contractors cost estimates and determine cost estimating risks influencing construction project estimates. Relevant literature on current ...

ABSTRACT With the demand for housing in Nigeria growing at a geometric rate while housing provision is at arithmetic rate, there is obvious need to evolve a more practical method of achieving mass housing development in the country. Dry construction presents an excellent opportunity to government at all levels and the primary mortgage institutions to guarantee speedy provision of mass and affordable housing in Nigeria. This technology will provide for ...

Abstract The study was designed to find out strategies for controlling cracks in residential building, in Niger south senatorial district. Among the specific purposes of the study were determining the availability to facilities for controlling cracks in residential building, determine the methods of detecting cracks in residential building, and determining the availability of personnel for detecting cracks in residential building and also the strategies adopted to improve the control of ...

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 easier utilization in the building construction.  Working drawings are drawings produced by engineers for easy ...

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 possible cause cure:- Poor sub-grade & sub-base Lack of maintenance culture Poor drainage system Poor workmanship ...

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 To effect  reduction to the  rise in market price of sand (fine aggregate), cement blocks to substitute literate blocks. To determine the strength of the cement stabilized blocks of ...

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 foundation. For proper clearification and understanding, the structure is broken down into its component parts and detailed keeping ...

ABSTRACT Value management is a multidisciplinary team approach with a structured and analytical process for obtaining the best value. Studies carried out on Value management (VM) shows that the success of a VM study largely depends on the effectiveness of the VM team. The importance of team work can’t be underestimated as VM has been identified as a team based process. Amongst the impediments to the success of a VM ...

ABSTRACT Site layout involves the identification, sizing and placing of the temporary facilities (TFs) at the required positions within the boundaries of the construction project site. The aim of this research is to assess the site layout practices of some construction firms in Abuja, Nigeria, with a view to improve productivity of workers in construction sites. Questionnaire was administered for the collection of data for the research. Purposive sampling technique ...
