1. EFFECT OF GROUNDNUT SHELL ASH ON SOIL STABILIZATION
ABSTRACT
As the topic of this research project implies (Effect of groundnut shell ash on lateritic soil properties) and which aim and objective are to shed light on Engineering Properties of Laterite Soil which is extensively used as a construction materials in Civi...
2. EFFECT OF CRUSHED COCONUT SHELL AND POLYETHYLENE TEREPHTHALATE AS PARTIAL REPLACEMENT OF COARSE AGGREGATE IN CONCRETE
ABSTRACT
This study investigates the suitability of crushed coconut shell (CCS) and polyethylene terephthalate (PET) as partial replacement of coarse aggregate in concrete. The PET was crushed mechanically to sizes between 0-10mm while the CCS was crushed manually to sizes between 12.7-...
3. KINETIC MODELLING AND OPTIMIZATION OF THE DRYING OF COCOYAM AND POTATO
Statement of the problem
One of the major reasons for food shortage is the unavailability of adequate preservation facilities. Some of the food crops are seasonal, being readily available during some periods of the year and scare during other periods due to inefficient preservation. Pot...
4. EFFECT OF MOISTURE CONTENT LEVELS ON SOME ENGINEERING PROPERTIES OF LOCUST BEAN (Parkia biglobosa) SEEDS
ABSTRACT
Locust bean (Parkia biglobosa) seed is a source of a nutritious and medicinal food condiment consumed in Nigeria. The drudgery associated with locust bean seed processing necessitates its mechanization. However, there is a dearth of information on the engineering properties of...
5. EFFECT OF QUARRY DUST ON THE ENGINEERING PROPERTIES OF LATERITIC SOILS
ABSTRACT
This study was intended to examine effect of quarry dust on the engineering properties of lateritic soils. This study was guided by the following objectives; to investigate the natural engineering properties of lateritic soil samples, to study the effort of the...
