Determination of Appropriate Mix Proportions for the Kenyan Blended Portland Cement Concrete Production
Shitote, Stanley; Okumu, Victoria A.; Oyawa, Walter O. (American Scientific Research Journal for Engineering, Technology, and Sciences (ASRJETS, 2017)The Kenya’s vision 2030 seeks to address the rising needs of its population through infrastructure development. Reinforced concrete being the most commonly used construction material forms an integral part of this development ... -
Evaluation of Characteristics of Concrete Mixed with Bamboo Leaf Ash
Shitote, Stanley; Onikeku, Oluwaseye; Mwero, John; Adedeji, Adeola. A. (The Open Construction & Building Technology Journal, 2019-04-11)Background: Concrete production around the globe is in billions of tons. Consequently, million metric tons of carbon dioxide are produced annually due to the cement consumption and production which, in turn, cause ... -
Experimental Evaluation on Light Transmittance Performance of Translucent Concrete
Shitote, Stanley; Tuaum, Awetehagn; Oyawa, Walter Odhiambo (International Journal of Applied Engineering Research, 2018)Translucent concrete is a new energy-saving building material that permits transmission of light into indoor environment because of the embedded optical fibers with application as architectural wall and structural façade ... -
Experimental Investigation on Engineering Properties of Concrete Incorporating Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement and Rice Husk Ash
Shitote, Stanley; Getahun, Mulusew Aderaw; Gariy, Zachary C. Abiero (2018-06-11)Waste generation from agricultural and construction industries is growing at an upsetting rate that causes a heavy burden on landfill facilities. On the other hand, the construction industry is exhausting natural resources ... -
Experimental Study of Self-Compacting Mortar Incorporating Recycled Glass Aggregate
Tuaum, Awetehagn; Shitote, Stanley; Oyawa, Walter (2018)This experimental research is focused on the development of self-compacting mortar incorporating recycled glass aggregate (SCM-RGA) as partial substitution of fine aggregate (wt 0%, 10%, 20%, 30%, 40% and 50%). The fresh ... -
Influence of Variation in Moisture Content to Soil Bearing Capacity in Nairobi Area and Its Environs
Shitote, Stanley; Hannah Nyambara Ngug; Ambassah, Nathaniel; Okumu, Victoria; Thuo, John Kuria (American Journal of Engineering and Technology Management, 2019)The increasing human population in cities and urban areas continues to raise the demand for housing and other infrastructure in developing nations. Stability of structures is critical for sustainable development to ensure ... -
Laboratory Mix Design of Cold Bitumen Emulsion Mixtures Incorporating Reclaimed Asphalt and Virgin Aggregates
Shitote, Stanley; Gariy, Zachary C. Abiero; Chelelgo, Kiplagat (2018-12-10)Bitumen emulsion asphalts, especially those incorporating marginal and secondary aggregates, are energy efficient, environment friendly, and sustainable alternatives to hot-mix asphalts. This study set out to compare ... -
Modelling the Deflection of Reinforced Concrete Plates Using the Symplectic Method
Shitote, Stanley; Saiyalel, Nakeel Matthew; Abuodha, Sylvester (Journal of Sustainable Research in Engineering, 2020)This work aims to predict the flexural behavior of reinforced concrete slabs by combining a smeared finite element model derived from fracture mechanics for the simulation of the decline in the flexural rigidity of the ... -
Structural Performance of Translucent Concrete Façade Panels
Shitote, Stanley (Hindawi, 2019)Energy conservation is an emerging global issue for sustainable infrastructure development. (e building sector energy demand accounts for approximately 34% of the world’s energy demand, and artificial lighting consumes ...
