Ground Improvement By Grouting[ ]


Grout curtains are constructed by means of drilling and injecting grout into one or more rows of holes. Consolidation grout holes typically are relatively shallow (5 to 10 m deep) and are grouted in a single stage. is defined as the injection of fluidized materials into voids of the ground or spaces between the ground and adjacent structures, generally through boreholes and under pressure. In foundation investigation, drill holes were drilled to characterize the foundation condition.

GROUNDWATER QUALITY AND ITS CONTAMINATION[ ]


Most groundwater originates as meteoric water from precipitation in the form of rain or snow. If it is not lost by evaporation, transpiration or to stream runoff, water from these sources may infiltrate into the ground. The porosity and structure of the ground determine the type of aquifer and underground circulation. On the earth, approximately 3% of the total water is fresh water. Of this groundwater comprise 95%, surface 3.5% and soil moisture 1.5%.

EFFECT OF GROUND PALM KERNEL SHELL (GPKS) FINES CONTENT ON COMPRESSIVE STRENGTH OF CELLULAR MASONRY BLOCKS[ ]


The paper assesses how partial replacement of sand with Ground Palm Kernel Shells (GPKS) affect physical and mechanical properties of masonry units. The mix ratio of 1:8 (cement: sand) was selected for the moulding of the control samples (0% GPKS aggregate replacement content) while a water/cement ratio of 0.50 was used in the study. The fine aggregate (sand) was replaced with GPKS aggregate from 0%, 10%, 20%, 30% and 40%. GPKS cellular masonry units were moulded in five (5) different mix percentages and were cured for 7, 14 and 28 days respectively. Each mix percentage comprises of eighteen (18) cellular masonry units.

Comparative Study of Monocrystalline and Polycrystalline Silicon Solar Modules in Kebbi State Environment[ ]


The power output of PV modules in general depends on the metrological parameters like irradiance, temperature and humidity applied on each module. However the modules are rated at the standard test conditions (STC) of 1000W/m2, AM 1.5 and a module temperature of 25?C, but these conditions do not represent what is typically experienced under outdoor operation. Solar cells with the same efficiency measured in the lab can generate a significantly different amount of electricity when exposed outdoors. For these reasons, there are many regional based studies conducted in the world.
