Analysis of the Seismic Performance of Various Irregularly Shaped Concrete Columns on Residential Buildings
J.P.G. Hortillas, K.F. Rivera, M.P. Martinez
The shape of the columns can affect a structure's seismic resistance. A building's important structural and architectural components are columns. Seismic resistance requires lateral strength and stiffness. Architects and engineers commonly use L-shaped, T-shaped, and plus-shape for composite columns. The researchers assessed the capacity of irregular concrete columns under seismic stress circumsta
Solar PV Electricity Supply for a Bank Office: Techno-economic and GHG Emissions Analyses

Persisting power supply issues in Nigeria have recently stimulated reliance on hybrid renewable energy systems, especially considering their environmental benefits. Analyses of the power generation, economic and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction potentials of solar photovoltaic (PV) systems for electricity supply to a bank branch were undertaken in this study, relying on the RETScreen energ
Characterization and Beneficiation of Some Nigeria Bentonitic Clays for Formulation of Drilling Mud in Oil and Gas Industry
Benedict O. Edenseting, Bassey, E.N., Babalola, R., Gumus, R.
In the quest to develop sustainable materials locally for the drilling industry, the bentonitic potentials of two indigenous clays from Edikor and Ukukudung deposits were studied. The x-ray fluorescence (XRF), Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) and Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) techniques were used to characterize the beneficiated bentonitic clay samples. This was done to ascertain the chemica
Wind Energy Resource Assessment for Electricity Generation In Maroua
Kazet Ymele Myrin, Ndjaka Jean Marie
In order to secure future energy and protect the environment, it is important to consider the possibilities of wind as a resource for electrical energy supply. The locality of Maroua in the Far North of Cameroon has been selected to carry out our study in which, an assessment of the wind energy resource has been made. Different kinds of data have been collected about wind, topography, and roughnes
Evaluation of the Underutilized Agro-morphologic features of Aroids for improved Food Security, Nutrition, and Economic Development
Unyime Enobong Okure, Joyce Gosata Maphanyane, Victoria Okure, Alìck Muvundika
Aroids or Cocoyam are often referred to as "women's crops" because women dominate the value chain. Women are primarily responsible for producing, processing, and sales of this root plant, while ensuring a year-round supply. Aroids, i.e. taro (Colocasia esculenta) and tannia (Xanthosoma sagittifolium) are underutilized root crops in the tropical and subtropical regions of developing nations. In Nig
Processing of Black Board Chalk from Pachymelania Aurita and Lanister Variscus Shells
Unyime Enobong Okure, Abasiofon Ime Moses, Alìck Muvundika, Victoria Enobong Okure
A mixture of marble dust and periwinkle shells (achymelania Aurita) and a mixture of marble dust and snail (LanisterVariscus) shells were used to replace the conventional calcium carbonate (CaCO3) used for the production of classroom chalk. The bulk density for the crushed periwinkle shells and crushed snail shells at a particle size of ≤63μm were 1.14g/ml and 1.12 g/ml respectively. From the resu
