Mitigation of building failures in Uganda’s construction industry: a case study of greater Bushenyi district
(Kyambogo University, 2021-01)
Building failure is one of the biggest problems construction firms face. Building failure can lead to many undesirable effects. The main purpose of the study was to mitigate building failures in the construction industry ...
Does training improve sanitary inspection answer agreement between inspectors? Quantitative evidence from the Mukono district, Uganda
(MDPI, 2020-10-10)
Sanitary inspections (SIs) are checklists of questions used for achieving/maintaining the safety of drinking-water supplies by identifying observable actual and potential sources and pathways of contamination. Despite the ...
Modelling chlorine residuals in drinking water: a review
(International Journal of Environmental Science and Technology, 2022-01-24)
World Health Organization’s guidelines on water quality limit concentrations of residual chlorine in drinking water to the range 0.2–5 mg/l. Modelling tends to be applied to understand how chlorine concentrations can be ...
An evaluation of rural road management as a driver of economic development: a case study of Kabarole district
(Kyambogo University, 2021-08)
Rural roads form the largest part of the road network and the main form of access to the rural communities. The poor state of rural road networks not only affects transport of goods and services but also the economic growth. ...

An advanced continuum damage mechanics model for predicting the crack progress process based on the consideration of the influence of crack direction under quasi-static load
(Elsevier: International Journal of Mechanical Sciences., 2017-09)
In reality the wrong crack path can be generally obtained in the case of arbitrary crack propagation by traditional continuum damage mechanics (CDM). In this paper a novel advanced continuum damage mechanics (ACDM) method ...
