Public transport has a significant influence for the successful economic advancement of a nation. Scarce transportation system restricts the populace potential to take advantage of its natural resources, the distribution of goods and other processed products. Therefore, transportation bears the most premise for growth and economic development in general. The study appraises the effect of Transportation system on the economic advancement of Fufore local government area in Nigeria. The study encompasses five villages which were chosen using multistage sampling technique. About 105 interviewee were also selected and a set of questionnaires administered using random method. Descriptive statistical analysis was used on data obtained. The results of the evaluation indicated that 44.79% of the respondents were farmers. It also revealed that the prevailing mode of transportation in the area is by motorcycles which accompanied by lack of good roads, as more than 65.63% of roads in the area are in a bad condition, makes accessibility to good markets by the respondents difficult for their farm produce, which indirectly also aggravated the cost of transportation. This treand was discovered to have affected the economic activities of the populace thereby increasing the level of poverty in communities of the area. The development of new roads and maintenance of existing ones is recommended to minimise cost of transportation of goods and services thereby abating poverty and fostering economic prosperity.

“…Marwan [17] produces cement bricks that contain banana fiber as intermixture. Building using the natural fiber brick has become more popular since it is low in cost, readily available raw materials, produces faster and easier construction and economically friendly.…”

“…Besides that, the fiber has essentially due to its capability of enhancing the load carrying capacity and ductility of the concrete structures [18]. Study done by [17] shows that percentage of POFA which an agro waste based can lower the thermal conductivity value. Many studies had done which demonstrated the low thermal conductivity of such vegetable/agriculture fibre based composite cement materials but only few resulting from effect of the mixture fibre/matrix.…”

Abstract. Building materials having low thermal load and low thermal conductivity will provide thermal comforts to the occupants in building. In an effort to reduce the use of high energy and waste products from the agricultural industry, sugarcane bagasse and banana bagasse has been utilize as an additive in the manufacture of cement brick. The aim of this study is to investigate the insulation and mechanical properties of brick that has been mixed with bagasse and its effectiveness as thermal insulation using heat flow meter. Waste bagasse is being treated using sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and is characterized using SEM and XRF. The samples produced with two different dimensions of 50 mm x 50 mm x 50 mm and 215mm x 102.5mm x 65mm for thermal conductivity test. Next, the sample varies from 0% (control sample), 2%, 4%, 6%, 8% and 10% in order to determine the best mix proportion. The compressive strength is being tested for 7, 14 and 28 days of water curing. Results showed that banana bagasse has lower thermal conductivity compared to sugarcane bagasse used, with compressive strength of 15.6MPa with thermal conductivity 0.6W/m.K.

“…Besides, through the observation, when using the wastes, the reduction in resin usage in a composite is possible without sacrificing its mechanical strength performance [35]. Other than that, properties of certain waste materials such as good thermal insulation as reported by Aminudin [36] may lead to other attractive research in mixing the waste into the polymer concrete or mortar.…”

Fresh and Hardened State of Polymer Modified Concrete and Mortars – A Review

et al. 2017

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Abstract. Polymer modified concrete or mortar is an alternative to the advancement of long serving civil engineering material -mortar and concrete. The excellence and promising benefits of modified composites have led to numerous progressive studies of its application. This paper presented a critical review from previous research on the polymer modified concrete and mortar. Both fresh and hardened state behaviours were reviewed as they are important for the development of excellent engineering material. Most of the applications of polymer modified concrete and mortar can be seen in diverse types of polymer such as latex, epoxy and emulsion. The utilization of each type of polymers resulted in different characteristics of composite concrete or mortar. Such applications have contributed to the improvement in terms of workability and mechanical strength, especially at higher grade of composite strength of concrete material.
