Effect of Partial Replacement of Sand by Mild Steel Filings in Concrete IJTSRD
Metals waste materials create serious environmental problems, mainly owing to the inconsistency of the waste streams. Mild steel filings are very small pieces of steel that look like a steel fiber. They are very often used in science demonstrations to show the direction of a magnetic field. The purpose of this project is to evaluate […]
Assessment of Permeability Characteristics of Ado-Ekiti to Ikere-Ekiti Road Soil, Southwestern Nigeria IJTSRD
There is need for good knowledge of soil permeability in order to estimate the quantity of fluid or water flow in soil, which will help in building and maintaining good road. The study sought to assess the permeability characteristics of Ado-Ekiti to Ikere-Ekiti road soil. Soil samples were taken from ten locations, subjected to permeability […]
Significance of Phase Change Materials in Building Construction IJTSRD
Buildings are designed for the sole purpose of maintaining conducive living standards for the occupants. Electrical energy consumption varies significantly during the day and night according to the demand by the industrial, commercial and residential activities. PCMs are regarded as a possible solution for reducing the energy consumption of buildings. These are the materials that […]
Investigations on Properties of Concrete by Partial Replacement of Sand and Cement with Copper Slag and Rice Ask Ash IJTSRD
The Natural resources are getting exhausted rapidly so construction technology is moving toward the utilization of alternative materials industrial waste by product such as copper slag and agriculture waste such as rice ask ash. In this study use of copper slag in partial replacement of sand and cement from 0 to 20 and 0 to […]
Effects of Termite Activities on Permeability Characteristics of Lateritic Soils in Ado-Ekiti, South Western, Nigeria IJTSRD
This research work evaluates the effects of termite activities on permeability characteristics of lateritic soils from two locations in Ado-Ekiti, South Western Nigeria. Six samples were taken from termite mound, that is, two each from top, bottom and where the queen of termite was found. Four other samples were taken from non-reworked surrounding soil. These […]
