PREFACE The whole information conveyed in this book has been planned and written for proper understanding of structural detailing of a building. 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 detailing of structural members, which include slabs, beam, stairway and column. This book will also provide some bases as a prerequisite in detai...
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 execution of a plan by builders. The ...
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 in mind the design co...
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:- (a)Poor sub-grade & sub-base (b)Lack of maintenance culture (c)Poor drainage system (d)Poor workmanship (e)Inaccurate T...
ABSTRACT Groundwater hydrology may be defined as the science of the occurrence distribution, and movement of water below the surface of the earth. Geochydrology has an identical connotation, and hydrogeology differs only by its greater emphasis on geology. Utilization of groundwater dates from ancient times, although an understanding of the occurrence and movement of subsurface water as part of the hydrologic cycle has come only relatively recently. SCOPE:Groundwater referred to without ...
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 aggregates used in this work were collected from ishiagu while the fine aggregate was collected in front of the carpentry’s workshop on the cam...
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 the intervisibility of the stations. Leveling was carri...
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 (1)To effect reduction to the rise in market price of sand (fine aggregate), cement blocks to substitute literate blocks. (2)To determine the strength of the cement stabilized blocks of literate soil in the soil laborat...
PREFACE This case study is an existing pathway or fort path linking Ugwuji and Campus 111 (IMT) for a proposed road construction by the government of Enugu State. This project encloses the following -The condition of the existing sub-grade and its suitability for use as a good sub-grade soil material by processes of different lab test. -Using the group index method and CBR method to design a flexible pavement on the pathway under consideration. -The optimum moisture content (OMC) and the m...
ABSTRACTRetaining 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 wall and nature of the soil retained.Under these effects of he nature of soil. We have the angle of internal content between the particles, the cohes...

ABSTRACT The aim of this project is to design and fabricate a bench shearing machine which can complete favorably with the imported ones. this machine is designed and fabricate, using our cheap and available materials. Some qualities such as durability, reliability and portability are guaranteed. It is functional and can cut or shear a metal of up to 4mm thickness It is recommended for use in all the work shop cutting operation. The machine being operated manually is an added advantage to co...
ABSTRACT This Nylon sealing and cutting machine has an added advantage of making 800 sealed bags per hour. The constructional machines were sourced locally. The machine can cut and seal Nylon at a affordable cost. The constructional size of 31 cm x 7.5cm x 12.4 which comprises the following component. The sealing and cutting filament, the transformer with 1000 turns of wire for the secondary and about 1200 turns for the primary. Others includes the micro switch, telephone tape and a...
ABSTRACT This report covers all activities candied out to rehabilitate a faulty refrigerator. First and foremost, we diagnosed the faulty refrigerator using the basic instruments to know the faults. After which we bought the necessary standard items that caused the fault. We then started work on it by replacing necessary instruments. We finally listed it and found out that the objective was fully achieved. TABLE OF CONTENTS Title page Letter of transmittal Release page Approval page ...
