At any surface operation, some instability can be expected from minor bench ravelling to massive slope failures. Fatalities occur most often at stone mines follow by coal, sand and gravel. Slope failures may occur rapidly ...

The study investigated the characterization of selected sedimentary rock types in Kogi State for engineering applications. In situ and laboratory tests were conducted on the sandstone and shale which are the selected ...

Despite the effectiveness and advantages of natural fibres from plants as reinforcement in the production of composite materials, it has been observed that natural fibres from plants have this limitation of high rate of ...

This study applied a geographic information system (GIS) based frequency ratio (FR) model for groundwater potential assessment in a crystalline basement complex terrain, southwestern, Nigeria. Four geo-electrically derived ...

The impact assessment of leachate from the Agirifon dumpsite on the aquifer system of Ilutitun was carried out using the integration of electrical methods (2-D Resistivity Imaging and Vertical Electrical Sounding) and ...

Geophysical methods and remote sensing methods have been used in order to delineate the limestone deposit at Okeluse town in the Eastern part of Ondo state, southwestern Nigeria. Aeromagnetic data and Landsat 8 OLI image ...

Integration of rock physics and sequence stratigraphy analysis was utilised in the characterization of turbidite sand systems in deep-offshore Niger Delta. Seismic sequence analysis using reflection termination patterns ...

This study was carried out to assess the ecotoxicological impacts of heavy metals on the skin, kidney and lungs of nile rats (Arvicanthis niloticus) in two cement factory sites in Ogun state, Nigeria. The two sites purposively ...

Teachers aim to transmit their knowledge to students so that they acquire certain accepted and shared concepts. However, what students actually understand is, in many cases, something completely different. Students build ...
