Assessment of some Chemical Properties of Isan – Ekiti Soil, Southwestern Nigeria IJTSRD
Increase in knowledge of Chemical properties of soil will prevent or reduce road failure in tropical climate such as Nigeria. This study aimed at assessing some chemical properties of lateritic soil deposited in Isan – Ekiti, South-western Nigeria. Soil samples collected from the study area were subjected to CEC, Organic Carbon content, pH and Refractive […]
Analyses of some Engineering Properties of Isan – Ekiti Soil, Southwestern Nigeria IJTSRD
Today, all over the World, soil plays major role in Civil Engineering works or construction. Its thorough assessment is impossible if its Engineering properties were overlooked. The aim of this study is to analyze some Engineering properties of lateritic soil deposited in Isan – Ekiti, South-western Nigeria. Soil samples collected from the study area were […]
An Experimental Study on Shear Strength of Soil Subgrade using Cement as Stabilizing Agent IJTSRD
Construction of any civil engineering structural project (whether it is building, bridge, dam or road etc) is done on or below the surface of earth. The main purposes of any structure is to transmit the load to the soil beneath, so the soil beneath should be strong enough to bear the upcoming loads without undergoing […]
Enhancement of Strength Characteristics of Poorly Graded Soil by Flyash and Cement IJTSRD
Fly Ash is the waste material, which is obtained after burning coal in Thermal Power Plants. It can be used as a stabilizer for soil due to its pozzolanic effect or an inherent self-hardening property under favourable conditions of moisture and compaction. This project aims at increasing the strength of poorly graded soils by using […]
Analyses of some Geotechnical Indices of the Federal Polytechnic, Ado-Ekiti Lateritic Soil used for Bricks IJTSRD
The need to overcome housing problems for the populace in a Third world country like Nigeria through the use of cheap and available construction materials is the ulterior motive of this study. It sought to analyze some geotechnical indices of the lateritic soils to be used for the production of the alternative material e.b. Bricks […]
