Cutting-Edge Approaches to Mitigate the National Agro-Digital Deficit Towards Angola 2050
Cândido Pascoal Kudinahessa Kiluando*, Ngombo Makaya Armando
Food insecurity in Angola has been increasing since 2013, with an exponential trend since 2017. Such observations are partially explained by low agricultural productivity and high production costs. Angolan population is expected to double by 2050, which also challenges us for innovative solutions to answer to basic human needs, such as food. In this context, we have prototyped a digital plat
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
Innovative Engineering Leadership: A Tool to Reform Engineering Education
Mudasiru Bola J.*; Nwadike Jones
This study delineates the constraints impeding the actualization of robust practical engineering education goals, pivotal for fostering innovation engineering leadership. It scrutinizes the efficacy and impact of assets and service it delivers (the product), alongside the exploitation prospects during operational phases (the process). A comprehensive interpretation of 'innovative engineering
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
Bethel Wubante Zewdu*, Zekariyas Sintayehu Gebrekidan, Eyerusalem Kelemework Yigzaw, Bethel Melese Tamene, Kidus Dereje Million
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
