The impact of growth and prosperity achieved in the transportation sector extends ... -
Combined Effect of Recycled Tyre Steel Fibre and Crumb Rubber on Flexural Toughness of Concrete
(International Journal of Innovative Science and Modern Engineering (IJISME), 2017)The disposal of scarp tyres has been environmental concern over the past few decades. Plain Concrete exhibits brittle behaviour which is undesirable property for a structural material resisting dynamic forces. Using used ... -
Bending Stress Response of Strap Beams
(International Journal of Science and Research (IJSR), 2017)A strap beam is designed to redistribute the weight of a column between two or more footings. The combination of the footings and the strap beams is known as strap footing. Strap footings are in practice are constructed ... -
Structural Characterisation of the Failed Manafwa Historic Bridge in Uganda
(International Journal of Science and Research (IJSR), 2016)A visual inspection was carried out on thetwo-spanManafwa River Bridge along Mbale - Tororo Road to assess the extent of damage caused by traffic to the bridge superstructure. The superstructure slab developed a hole between ... -
COMPRESSIVE STRENGTHS PREDICTION MODEL FOR BAGASSE ASH CONCRETE
(International Journal of Novel Research in Civil Structural and Earth Sciences, 2016)This paper deals with development of regression models for prediction of compressive strength of bagasse ash (BA) concrete. The compressive strength of dry BA concrete was determined using two variables, namely, curing ... -
Performance of self-compacting concrete made with hydraulic lime as filler
(Journal of Civil Engineering and Construction Technology, 2016-02)Concrete is a very popular artificial material on earth and it is one of the most used construction material in building technology. Self-Compacting Concrete (SCC) is a highly workable concrete designed such that it is ... -
Rutting Failure on Pavement Layers along Timboroa to Eldoret Road Section in Kenya
(International Journal of Civil Engineering Research, 2016)The Timboroa to Eldoret Road (A104) in Kenya forms part of the Northern corridor which is lifeline for several countries in the greater East African region. Traffic studies along the Timboroa to Eldoret highway indicate ... -
