Abstract:
Effective waste management is crucial; every waste component can be systematically controlled to minimize its creation. The development of geo-polymer concrete offers a pathway towards achieving this objective. Methods: Geo-polymers are inorganic materials that result from the alkali activation of aluminosilicates. The alumino-silicates are sourced from naturally occurring materials and industrial waste such as fly ash, blast furnace slag, and rice husk ash. Red mud, a by-product from an alumina refining industry practically rich in alumina content, can be used as a geo-polymer material along

Abstract:
The behavior factor, which represents the force reduction that a structure would experience if its response was completely elastic compared with the seismic forces used for design, is defined in seismic design codes for common construction techniques and materials. A specific assessment is needed when novel construction materials are adopted. The lack of accurate structural performance estimations limits the use of green construction materials because building codes only allow the use of minimum values for the behavior factor. This research aims to verify the reliability of the proposed capaci

Abstract:
Extrusion-based 3D Construction Printing (3DCP) involves developing novel material mixtures that incorporate local geo-materials. Given that clay minerals and silt are major causes of soil variability, this study focuses on the fine fraction of soil to facilitate purpose-oriented design, classification, and standardization. We begin with an overview of current research in the field and general information about clays. Subsequently, we establish an evaluation methodology, examining various clay–sand mix ratios, along with locally sourced material to gain general insights into the material’s cla

Abstract:
Thermal insulation is a reliable strategy for achieving optimal thermal comfort in built environments and is among the most effective energy-saving measures. Currently, environmentally friendly insulation materials produced from plant and animal fibers constitute a significant component of the building industry, largely due to their minimal embodied energy and concerns about certain synthetic insulation materials’ potential adverse health effects. The main objective of the present study is to encourage and facilitate the utilization of environmentally friendly thermal insulation materials deri

This study examines the ways in which police authorities manage their personnel, as well as the factors militating against police authorities in managing their personnel for effective crime control and prevention in Nigeria. The study used both quantitative and qualitative designs to attempt to identify the criteria used in posting police officers. Data were obtained through questionnaires from 360 randomly selected respondents complemented by 15 in-depth interviews (IDI) undertaken in three geo-political regions in Nigeria namely: southeast, southwest and north central.

Abstract:
Soil pollution due to toxic elements (TEs) has been a core environmental concern globally, particularly in areas with developed industries. In this study, we sampled 300 surface (0–0.2 m) soil samples from Yuyao City in eastern China. Initially, the geo-accumulation index, potential ecological risk index, single pollution index, and Nemerow composite pollution index were used to evaluate the soil contamination status in Yuyao City. Ordinary kriging was then deployed to map the distribution of the soil TEs. Subsequently, indicator kriging was utilized to identify regions with high risk of TE po

Abstract:
Groundwater contamination has been a growing issue in recent times as a result of population growth, urbanization and industrialization. Groundwater is highly susceptible to impacts associated with anthropogenic activities such as the release of waste materials to the environment. The groundwater vulnerability of an area is a function of the geologic and environmental factors of the area. The purpose of the study was to determine the impact of geological and environmental factors on groundwater quality in the Ndele Area of Southern Nigeria.

Abstract:
The Greater Earth Lunar Power Station (GE -LPS) is a multi-purpose concept that aims to solve several critical issues related to lunar development and terrestrial energy production. As the GE -LPS concept and its energy production functions may be scaled to any dimension, larger versions could be positioned in Earth orbit to provide clean solar energy for terrestrial purposes and thereby reduce the mass needed to be launched from Earth to build SPS units by 80% or more. The construction of the GE -LPS from mostly lunar materials requires the establishment of industrial-scale automated mining a
