Abstract:

Due to a high construction material cost in Ethiopia, it is difficult to afford a shelter by most our peoples. The Hydra form block (HFB) has been identified as low-cost building material with its potential and possibility to reverse the housing problem. Laboratory tests were conducted on Mettu, Nopa, Gore, and Hurumu areas soil.... More

Abstract: Road constructing in Ethiopia is increasingly in demand to meet its medium and long term development programs. Most internal roads of Oromia city/town are cobblestone and gravel. Some portions along the alignment proposed and existing roads traversed low resistance of the subgrade that affect the stability of the upper layers of cobblestones. Structural failure is... More

Abstract:

When the installation of cables and pipelines needs to go across rivers, bridges are usually adopted to support the cables and pipelines for crossing the rivers. The measure can make full use of the space resources and have no effect on the flow pattern of rivers. For this reason, analysis on the structural-type design of... More

Abstract:

The building construction throughout world faces the defects from normal to heavy and destructive like cracks and fractures which cause damages and eventually collapses to heavy life losses alongside economical and financial. The cracks like structures are found in wall and columns also. For the aim of the study, the international experts have classified... More

Abstract:

Tensile strength of concrete were examined on its partial replacement of cement and sand using ground granulated blast furnace and quarry dust, the study examines its behaviour at different dimensions, this is to monitor the variation effect of these parameters on the growth rates of tensile to the optimum curing age, these includes  non...
