Design and construction practices in Zambia have tended to neglect the risk posed by seismicity on structures, and no earthquake design and construction guides exist. The recent earthquake occurrences suggest that earthquake incidences can no longer be ignored. The research studied the occurrence...

Structural Health Monitoring by use of Visual inspections of bridge structures can be subjective and inaccurate. Recent developments in sensing, communication and information technologies, however, have completely modernized the inspection procedures and significantly increased the efficiency in...

Geodetic Deformation Monitoring (GDM) plays a vital role in project safety and management. Geodetic measurements on dams are done to monitor change and rate of change in order to ensure safety. Kariba Dam suffers normal stresses, and strains mainly from temperature and hydrostatic pressure...

In Zambia, the need to conserve water resources through technologies that can easily be managed by the local communities has resulted in the construction of small dams. However, small dams are adversely impacted by sedimentation due to soil erosion in the catchment area. The aim of this study was...

This dissertation describes an investigation carried out at Baluba Mine to assess the quality of rock mass and support requirements in haulage drives developed in the -footwall quartzite -Formations. The rock mass o-F the -Footwall Formation is geotechnicallv quantified using the Modi-Fied Basic...
