In the sense that the materials involved in this project were capital intensive more especially cement, so in carrying out the work one must hsve to be careful in the selection and collection of materials to be used in the casting of the concrete. The materials used are coarse aggregate (granite) fine aggregate (sand). The coarse aggregates used in this work were collected from ishiagu while the fine aggregate was collected in front of […]
INTRODUCTION The work in the construction industry involves the client, the Architect, the Engineer, the quantity surveyor and the builders. A structural project is initiated by the Engineer (civil Engineer). The process of designing begins with the enginer’s appreciation of the client’s requirements. After the specification given to the engineer by architect according to the requirement of the client, the engineer develops different s […]
The air of this project is to design and fabricate a bench shearing machine which can complete favorably with the imported ones. this machine is designed and fabricate, using our cheap and available materials. Some qualities such as durability, reliability and portability are guaranteed. It is functional and can cut or shear a metal of up to 4mm thickness It is recommended for use in all the work shop cutting operation. The machine bei […]
This project is carried out to know the effects of salt water on concrete. Salt water has salinity of about 3.5%. in that, about 78% is sodium chloride and 15% is chloride and sulphate of magnesium. The result gotten from the experiment being carried out shows different result from the mix design, casting, curing and crushing of different dates of each cubes. The compressive strength of each cube was also determined e.g. for the compre […]
A bench vise is a tool used to hold or clamp a workpiece to allow operations such as cutting, filing, milling, drilling, grinding, etc. It is usually made from cast iron with a fixed jaw and another parallel jaw which moves towards or away from the fixed jaw using the screw. Design and fabrication of a modified vise to improve the productivity, flexibility and comfortability of the existing bench vises have been achieved in this study. […]
Car leasing has significantly contributed to the growth of various industries in Nigeria. Companies with short-term contracts often find it financially impractical to purchase vehicles for such brief periods. Instead, they rely on car leasing companies, like Marlum Company, to provide the necessary vehicles for the duration of their contracts.

Sugarcane Bagasse is the fibrous residue leftover when sugarcane is squeezed for its juice. Bagasse ash is obtained by subjecting Bagasse to calcinations using furnace. This work is aimed tat using Bagasse Ash as a replacement in the production of concrete. The bagassewas collected from dumped in a marketin Kano and thereafter sun-drie to eliminate any trace of moisture. It was then taken to the blast furnace for calcinations(controlle […]
