design of cantilever retaining wall

design of cantilever retaining wall Cantilever retaining wall are usually of reinforced concrete and work on the principles of leverage. It has much thinner stem and utilize the weight of the backfill soil to provide most of the resistance to sliding and overturning. Cantilever retaining wall is the most common type of earth-retaining structure

Structural behaviour of bagasse Ash concrete exposed to different environmental conditions

Structural behaviour of bagasse Ash concrete exposed to different environmental conditions Abstract In case of sudden fire, the concrete elements such as beams, columns etc will be subjected to extreme temperatures and need for assessment of their performance after fire. Hence, it is important to understand the change in the concrete strength properties due to […]

Investigate On Effect Of Water Quality On Concrete Material In Tropical Region Of Nigeria

Abstract 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 […]

Assessment Of Effect Of Aggregate Sizes On The Comprehensive Strength Property Of Concrete Work

ABSTRACT 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 […]
