ABSTRACT The importance of concrete in modem society cannot be underestimated. There is no escaping from the impact of concrete on everyday life. Concrete is a composite material which is made of filler and a binder. Typical concrete is a mixture of fine aggregate (sand), coarse aggregate (rock), cement, and water. Nowadays the usage of concrete... Continue Reading

ABSTRACT Rice Husk Ash (RHA) is one of the most active research areas that encompass a number of disciplines including civil engineering and construction materials. Grinded rice husk (GRH) and RHA is an agricultural waste product which is produced in large quantities globally every year. As the rice husk is piling up every day, there is a pressure...

ABSTRACT This paper examines the impact of sand harvesting from rivers on the environment, water quality and quantity along Thwake River, Makueni County. Sand acts as a safe aquifer for water flowing below and through it. Removal of sand results in destruction of underground aquifers and loss of safe water. Sand scooping adversely affects surface...

ABSTRACT Sustaining housing development especially to the medium/low-income group of the society has become a huge challenge particularly because of the huge capital outlay required to do so. Thus, acquisition of indigenous building materials by way of Compressed Stabilized Laterite Blocks (CSLBs) has been suggested as a way out. The aim of this... Continue Reading
