Abstract:

Urbanization has significantly increased over the last two centuries. In year 1800 only 2% of people lived in cities, while in year 1900 this percent increased to 12%. Recent studies indicate that in year 2008 more than 50% of the world population lived in urban areas, with this percentage expected to reach 75% by year 2030. Urban land cover occupies only 2% or 3% of the earth surface, yet it has been recognized that urban growth is associated with many socioeconomic and environmental problems. For example, impervious surfaces that result from urbanization dramatically increase peak discharges

Abstract:

Assessment of ultimate pile carrying capacity (deep foundation) and its settlement in parts of Port Harcourt and environs Rivers State has become imperative due to moderate bearing pressure and poor subsoil nature found in the study area. Bored pile foundation analysis was carried out for the soil profiles with diameter 306, 406, 460 and 600mm for the deep foundation at various study area were calculated. The study shows that the higher the diameter and pile depth of the foundation, the higher the ultimate pile carrying capacity. The settlement of the piles fall within an acceptable criterion

Cities in developing countries are urbanising at a rapid rate, resulting in substantial pressures on environmental systems. Among the main factors that lead to flooding, controlling land-use change offers the greatest scope for the management of risk. However, traditional analysis of a “from–to” change matrix is not adequate to provide information of all the land-use changes that occur in a watershed. In this study, an in-depth analysis of land-use change enabled us to quantify the bulk of the changes accumulating from swap changes in a tropical watershed. This study assessed the historical an

Abstract:

<strong>This study examined the effect of dumpsite soils on maize yeild in Port Harcourt, Rivers State. Dump site soil samples were collected from three locations (Njemanze, Mileone flyover and Chinda) and the control soil from Rivers State University. The soil samples were analysed for N, P, K, Mg and Zn. Results of the soil analysis showed high nutrient concentrations in the dumpsite soils than the control except for poatassium.  The results also showed that there were slight differences in the nutrient profile of the dumpsite soils with nutrient analysis of total nitrogen (1.17±

Abstract:

Numerous measures are being implemented to address transportation challenges in Port Harcourt, a rapidly growing city with a high population in Nigeria. The city experiences heavy traffic congestion, especially on major link roads, leading to significant delays due to the bottlenecks caused by reckless parking, construction work, and other factors. To analyse speed at bottlenecks, experts apply the Lighthill Theory, a rigorous process determining speed. Bottlenecks refer to areas in the road network where traffic flow is hindered, resulting in congestion and decreased speeds. Accurately modell

Bole is a popular delicacy in Port Harcourt, Nigeria. Bole is roast plantain, roasted above burning charcoal. It is usually roasted alongside yam, and fish. In the course of roasting Bole, women are exposed to smoke which in the long run may produce some effects on the blood. The study examines how the smoke inhaled by these women affects their packed cell volume, methaemoglobin and oxyhaemoglobin levels.
