Assessment of The Technology Choices for Rural Road Construction (A Casestudy of Otuke and Alebtong Districts)

ABSTRACT Rural roads constitute about 65% of the Uganda road network, which provide a critical link in the road transport network, facilitating access to and development of the rural areas. Traffic volume on rural roads in Uganda is very low, 90 % of the rural road network has an Average Annual Daily Traffic (AADT) less than 200, with an average road width of about 5.0 meters. The main problem facing the development of rural roads lies in the method of construction. Common methods used includ...

DESIGN AND PRODUCTION OF CEILING BOARD USING PLASTER OF PARIS (P.O.P) GYPSUM MATERIAL

1.0 INTRODUCTION This project deals with the design and production of ceiling board using Plaster of Paris [POP] gypsum materials. Plaster of Paris [POP] is a white powdery mixture of gypsum. It has been named such because the first deposit of gypsum was found in Paris. This powder when mixed with water solidifies, but without losing its volume. During manufacturing process, the gypsum is heated and as such, it does not necessarily require any high heat treatment like ceramics and clays [Worr...

ASSESSMENT TO DIFFERENT TYPES OF FOUNDATION AND THEIR MODE OF CONSTRUCTION

ABSTRACTThis 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 capacity of the three cohesionless soil samples taken.The result obtained from the calculation shows that the soil in the three foundation Examined can resis...

Redesigning A Section of Hamu-Mukasa Road from Sir Albert Cook Road, Mengo Market Junction to Canon Apollo Road

ABSTRACT Hamu - Mukasa road, just like most other roads in Kampala city has a number of defects such as potholes, cracks, ravels aggregate polishing, and many more accompanied by lack of drainage which in turn facilitate the high traffic congestion and delays, especially at peak demand periods in addition to comfortability and unsafeness of the road users. Due to the strategic location and importance of the road as it provides access to institutions of learning such as Muteesa 1 Royal Univers...

Assessing Solid Waste Management in Bwaise to Design an Appropriate Handling System

ABSTRACT This report is from a study that looks at the nature, practices, challenges, and possible solutions for solid waste management systems in Bwaise, Kampala. The study used mainly questionnaires, interviews and observation. The findings suggest that in Bwaise, poor communities could generate income from waste disposal activities, if certain measures are put in place. Furthermore, in this area, 60% of the garbage is biodegrable, composed mainly of food related waste. Non-biodegradable w...

Design of an Underground Utility Duct Using Trenches Method (Case Study: Kimera Road) Trenchless Method

ABSTRACT Trenchless construction is the use of construction methods to install and repair underground utility systems with minimum open cut excavation. This includes the use of pipe jacking, micro tunneling, horizontal direction drilling, and guided boring systems. This was adopted to replace the aging utility infrastructure and install new facilities, while minimizing disruptions to traffic communities and business, reducing environmental impact and lowering the high costs of pavement remov...
