1. COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF THE STRENGTH OF CONCRETE MADE FROM VARIOUS AGGREGATE
EXCERPT FROM THE STUDY
Characteristics of soil-cement blocks using highly sandy laterite mixtures were examined. The compressive, flexural and direct tensile strength of soil-cement blocks are directly proportional to the concrete aggregates, while the IRA is inversely...
2. 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...
3. BITUMEN STABILIZATION OF LATERITE PRETREATED WITH HEAT AS A FLEXIBLE PAVEMENT MATERIAL
ABSTRACT
The search for an alternative to the conventional way of treating soil for use in road work, informed laterite soil sample classified as A-7-5(11) on AASHTO soil classification system, collected from a borrow pit at Shika, along Zaria-Funtua road in Kaduna Sta...
4. BITUMINOUS STABILIZATION OF LATERITE MODIFIED WITH LIME FOR USE AS PAVEMENT MATERIALS
Excerpt from the Study
In an effort to improve the suitability of lateritic soil as a pavement material, the air dried samples were treated with Lime/Bitumen in stepped concentration of 0, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 % by dry weight of the soil. The preliminary investigation conduct...
5. COMPARING THE STRENGTH AS BLOCKS MADE FROM CEMENT AND LATERITIC SOIL, CEMENT AND RED EARTH, LATERITE, SAND AND RED EARTH
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 lateri...
6. GEOLOGY AND HYDROGEOLOGY OF PART OF MAKURDI SHEET 251 SW, NORTH CENTRAL NIGERIA
ABSTRACT
An integrated geological, geophysical and hydrogeological studies were carried out to investigate the groundwater potential and quality in part of Makurdi, North Central Nigeria. The study area is entirely sedimentary and is dominantly fine to coarse grained sandstone with vary...
7. 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...
