Performance characterisation of a husk powered system for rural electrification in Uganda.
(Makerere University, 2014)This dissertation reports on the performance characterisation of a 32 kWe gasification power plant connected to an isolated electric grid in Tribogo Village, Muduuma Parish in Mpigi District. The system was installed as a ... -
Plasticity and stiffness of aged road gravel stabilized with Acrylic polymers
(Makerere University, 2018-10-11)World over, the increasing need to reduce costs, conserve materials and use of marginal soils have resulted in the use of soil stabilizers in increasing quantities in the construction of roads. As such, this research study ... -
Proposed design parameters for raised transverse rumble strip profiles to abate discomfort on highways in Uganda
(Makerere University, 2018-08)Transverse rumble strips are used in highway design as speed calming measures in built-up areas, where a driver is expected to reduce travel speeds to a new advisory speed. There are diverse designs in terms of shapes, ... -
Role of curing time and compactivite effort in stabilization of in-situ road gravel using lime and natural pozzolana
(Makerere University, 2018-07)Periodic mechanized maintenance of gravel roads is becoming increasingly difficult because of the dwindling stocks of fresh gravel materials required in this process. This study centered on determining the influence of ... -
