This study made used of survey research design and sample size of 70 respondents were randomly selected among the structural engineers and construction professionals in Ikot Ekpene. The findings of this study revealed that; structural detailing is a […]

ABSTRACT The aim of this study was to examine the potential of concrete retaining wall over sandcrete block walls with close references the perimeter of fencing of some collapse sector of Akwa Ibom State Polytechnic perimeter fence at Ikot Osurua, Ikot Ekpene. This study revealed that that concrete wall is of better quality and more

ABSTRACT A bill of engineering measurement and evaluation list the total material quantities needed to complete a civil engineering project. In this presentation, the project is a 3-Bedroom bungalow. At the end, a near total cost of constructing the 3-bedroom bungalow from foundation to DPC was determined in a summary table that displayed all quantities

ABSTRACT Water can be defined as a colourless transparent, odourless liquid that forms seas, lakes, rivers and rain and is the basis of the fluids of living organisms. Basically, there are two sources of water supply which is found on the surface of the earth, while groundwater is found in well. Rural water supply is

ABSTRACT The stabilization of soil is important in construction of foundation and highways as it improve the engineering properties of soil like compressibility and shear strength in the experiment result obtained in the laboratory on expansive soil treated with low cost materials (quarry dust) are presented. A study is carried out to check the improvement

ABSTRACT Soil sampling and testing is one of the most important steps to attain success in construction project. Soil testing provides information on type of soil, bearing capacity of soil   Test such as liquid limit, plastic limit, atterbergs, compaction, plastic index test and differential free swell test are done for testing the suitability and stability

ABSTRACT This study comprises quality of different Brands of Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC).Three brands of Portland cement commonly available in Nigeria were investigated through series of tests conducted to determine their strength characteristics, setting time, soundness, workability and fineness among others and examine if they meet the minimum standard as stipulated by the British Standard

ABSTRACT During the pre-independence of the building culture in Nigeria, laterite were mainly used for making blocks which were accurate durable and accessible enough for them to meet their housing needs. One of the aim and objective of this project is to determine the compressive strength of concrete cubes. The sample was collected from Julius

ABSTRACT The objective of this research work was to establish failure criteria in flexible pavement and recommend suitable maintenance procedure. The literature review revealed the extent of work done by other scholars on this research topic, but none was related to the study location in Akwa Ibom State. The research method is a forensic study
