Revolutionizing Waste Management Planning in Indorama Eleme Petrochemical Operational Complex: Promoting Sustainability
Nnadikwe Johnson*, Nwosi Hezekiah Andrew, Unyime Enobong Okure, Ewelike Asterius Dozie, Hamman Muhammad Kabir
The Indorama Eleme Petrochemical Limited (IEPL) in Rivers State, Nigeria, generates a significant amount of waste annually, posing environmental and health risks. This study aimed to revolutionize waste management planning at IEPL by characterizing and classifying wastes, developing a coding system, and identifying sustainable management options. The study revealed that IEPL generates 3115.9
Realtime Floor Eccentricity Reduction: A Desktop Application for Mass and Stiffness Manipulation
Abel Haileselassie Beyene*
In seismic design, building configuration (especially mass and stiffness distribution) is crucial for mitigating earthquake damage. When there is an eccentricity between the center of mass (CM) and the Center of Stiffness (CS) of a floor, a twisting moment occurs. This moment causes dangerous rotational motions during seismic events. To avoid this rotation, structural engineers must position
Investigation and Redesign of the Highway Stormwater Management System to Mitigate Gully Erosion, and Enhance Drainage Infrastructure Resilience; Case in Gokwe Town, Zimbabwe
Farai Kufa*, Pride Mutekwa
This study evaluates the impact of land use changes on gully development and redesigning a highway stormwater management section in Gokwe Town, Zimbabwe, aiming to address gully erosion and enhance drainage infrastructure resilience, crucial for urbanizing watersheds and around highways. Using GIS processes, topographical profiles were derived; geotechnical lab investigations, and site hyd
Experimentation on The Integration of BIM and Laser Scanning Applications for Monitoring a Selected B+G+11 Apartment Building Construction Projects

The need for precise and efficient monitoring techniques is becoming crucial as manual data collection and processing has become inadequate to handle the growing complexity of construction projects. This research explores the integration of Building Information Modeling (BIM) and laser scanning technologies for monitoring the construction of a selected B+G+11 apartment building. The study in
Design and Implementation of an Automatic Water and Hand Sanitizer Dispensing System
Bello Olawale Emmanuel*, Sunmonu Olabode Kayode, Ogunlana Oluwaseun Ayodeji
Many infectious diseases are mostly spread through droplets or contact with something that someone who is infected has had contact with. The World Health Organization played a major role in sensitizing the public to clean or sanitize their hands regularly to curb or reduce the risk of infection. Many attempts have been made to design a system that aids in consistent automatic hand washing an
Application of Onion Extract as a Corrosion Inhibitor for Mild Steel in a Sodium Chloride Medium
Nnadikwe Johnson*, Iheme Chigozie, Chinemerem Joy Johnson, Akujuru Kelvin, Erazele Ross Aisaboluokpia Agazuma
This quantitative research investigates the corrosion inhibition potential of onion peel extract on mild steel in sodium chloride medium. The results show that the onion peel extract achieves a corrosion inhibition efficiency of 92.5% at a concentration of 50ml/L, outperforming traditional chemical corrosion inhibitors. The study reveals that the extract's antioxidant properties and surface
