FEM Analysis of the Effect of Geometrical Radius on the Force Capacity of Unreinforced Masonry walls under Out-Of-Plane Monotonic Loading
John Mary Joseph Yiga*, Moses Matovu, Allan Ray Okodi
The susceptibility of unreinforced masonry (URM) walls to out-of-plane (OOP) failure under lateral forces from earthquakes and high winds continues to be a critical concern in ensuring structural resilience and occupant safety. While curved wall construction has gained increasing global adoption for its architectural, functional, and spatial advantages, current design provisions are predominantly
Seismic Vulnerability Assessment of Existing Buildings: A case study of Senate Building in Makerere University
Charles Gavamukulya*, Moses Matovu, Allan Ray Okodi
This study evaluated the seismic vulnerability of existing buildings at Makerere University with focus on Senate Building as a representative structure for mid-rise buildings in the University. Despite Uganda’s classification as a low seismic zone, historical earthquakes have exposed significant infrastructure vulnerabilities particularly in educational institutions. The lack of specific locally c
A Peer-to-Peer Energy-Sharing System for Smart Electricity Utility Meters
Balinda Roland Mujungu, Kasule Vicent*, Akol Oscar Benjamin
Uganda’s power sector transition from a postpaid to a prepaid electricity metering system resulted in improved revenue for utilities and significantly lowered administration costs. Whereas this system is functionally operational, it lacks a mechanism for direct transfer of purchased electricity units between customers, leading to inefficiencies and limited consumer flexibility. This paper presents
