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...
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...
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...
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-...
ABSTRACT
A model of transitional probability matrix for Mechanistic-Empirical Pavement Design was developed with the aim of tarnishing the traditional method obtained from the judgment of an expert panel. The model was developed using fatigue and rutting as the critical factors in pavem...
ABSTRACT

Abstract
Commodity passive RFID system consisting of the reader and battery-free RFID tags proliferates the internet-of-things applications (e.g., indoor localization, gesture recognition and assets tracking) due to its low cost and small form factor. In this thesis, we propose three hu...
ABSTRACT
The management of plastic waste (whose generation is on the increase) poses a great challenge to environmentalists owning to its non-biodegradability. The research project aims at using waste plastic materials as binding groundmass in place of cement thereby producing pavement...
ABSTRACT
This study evaluated the improvement of bearing capacity of lateritic soil for pavement subgrade by addition of rock flour stabilized with 0 - 12% rock flour by dry weight of soil at incremental rate of 3% and compacted using British Standard Light (BSL), West Africa Standard (...
ABSTRACT
The intrinsic suitability of some lateritic soils as materials for construction of layers for flexible pavements is evaluated herein. The pavement layers assessed were the base course, sub-base and sub-grade. Laboratory results of samples from these layers show that the CBR val...
