British standard(BS 583) (1974) define maintenance as the combination of all technical and associated administrative […]
Continue ReadingABSTRACT This research project is designed to critically assess the use of formwork design and construction of high rise building. The researcher has carried out an extensive research on how important well designed and constructed formwork could be in the construction of high rise building in Nigeria. The researcher in order to achieve this aim […]
Continue ReadingAbstract The Effect Of Water Quality On Concrete Material In Tropical Region Of Nigeria. was evaluated in this study. A total of 100 concrete cubes (150 x 150 x 150 mm) were cast using a mix ratio of 1:2:4. The hardened concrete cubes were de-moulded 24 hours after the cubes were cast and were submerged […]
Continue ReadingABSTRACT Problems arising from limited coarse aggregate sizes where by coarse aggregates are gotten from long distance quarry sites which have led to high cost of coarse aggregates and in turn resulted to high cost of construction. A synergistic combination of three sizes of coarse aggregates for concrete works was investigated in this research. For […]
