Developing a maintenance management system for public building in district local governments of Uganda: a case of Amuria district local government
(Kyambogo University(Unpublished work), 2020-11)
The practice of building maintenance is globally accepted as the most sustainable way to conserve
buildings from deterioration. In most developing countries, costs incurred for assessment, repair
and maintenance of ...
Suitability of averaged outputs from multiple rainfall-runoff models for hydrological extremes: a case of River Kafu catchment in East Africa
(International Journal of Energy and Water Resources., 2020-05-26)
In this study, seven rainfall-runoff models were applied to model daily River Kafu flows from 1952 to 1981. Among others, models from the rainfall-runoff library of the eWater toolkit were applied. Optimal parameters of ...
Assessing biogas recovery potential from organic Solid waste generated from academic institutions (case study: Islamic university in Uganda - Mbale city)
(Kyambogo University[unpublished work], 2022-09)
Resource recovery is contingent to the circular economy and the core intention is to
replace the norm of largely linear economy of take make and dispose with one where
resource circulation and disposal is fostered at ...
A hydrological model skill score and revised R-squared
(Hydrology Research, 2022-01-01)
Despite the advances in methods of statistical and mathematical modeling, there is considerable lack of focus on improving how to judge models’quality. Coefficient of determination (R2) is arguably the most widely applied ...

Effect of filler and binder contents on air voids in hot-mix asphalt for road pavement construction
(Kyambogo University, 2021-08)
Filler and binder make up a small proportion of bituminous mixtures, hence they are considered as important ingredients of mixtures. Sometimes due to equipment error during production, some mixtures retain extra or a reduced ...
California bearing ratio for cohesive soils from quasi static cone tests
(Kyambogo University[unpublished work], 2022-10)
In the majority of nations, the test most frequently employed to identify flexible pavement
layers is the California Bearing Ratio (CBR). To get around the test's high cost,
inconvenience, and length, Quasi static cone ...
