The response of any engineering design components to stresses should be predictable, While the response of a material to complex loading, such as high strain rates experienced during service, is difficult to represent with ...

Enset bundle fibers were divided lengthwise into four sections from bottom to top and the sections’ physio-mechanical parameters were studied and compared. The four equal fiber sections from the bottom were 0–375 mm (EV-I), ...

Like any other infrastructure activity, pavement design requires the use of natural construction materials that meet the specifications for the intended construction works to meet the quality expected. The study involved ...

We compile a detailed road transport inventory for greenhouse gases and air pollutants to explore energy emissions from alternative policy scenarios for the Kenya road transport sector. In 2010, road transport emissions ...

Brick is one of the oldest building materials and a key product used by builders to enhance the quality of the buildings. It continues to be one of the most popular and leading construction material because of its pleasant ...

The research reported in this paper focuses on non-technical power loss reduction for power distribution systems. Such reduction of costs of energy not served (ENS.COST), is intelligently evaluated and optimized using a ...

Voltage conditions and power quality for customers and utility equipment are significantly impacted by the addition of microgrid-generating sources within distribution networks. Designing the right control for distributed ...

The purpose of this study was to establish the factors affecting the performance of Matatu SACCOs in Nairobi’s Central Business District (CBD) in Nairobi County, Kenya. The study sought the influence of management of ...

Properties of crude oil from four indigenous oilseeds in Africa (Kenya) were determined and their potential use as fuel, lubricants, hydraulic fluids, and brake fluids were evaluated. The oils were extracted chemically ...
