Several industrial accidents, some of them fatal, have been reported in Uganda. Causes could include training gaps in vocational training institutions (VTIs) and workplaces. This study investigated how occupational safety ...
Impact of design flaws on cost overruns in road Construction projects in Uganda
(Kyambogo University (un published work), 2019-11)
The inability to complete projects within time and budget continues to be a chronic
problem worldwide and it is worsening. Cost overruns have therefore remained a major
setback in implementation of road construction ...
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 ...

Following the tremendous increase in population growth rate in Uganda from 12.6 million
people in 1980 to 34.6 million people in 2014, there has been an increase in housing units
from 2.6 million house in 1980 to 7.34 ...
Assessment of equipment productivity in building construction projects in Uganda
(Kyambogo University[unpublished work], 2018-12)
Management of construction equipment in building construction projects is an important
factor to run projects in a successful manner. The focus of this study was to identify the
factors affecting equipment productivity, ...
A comparative analysis of foundations using prescriptive design and static loading test methods:(case study: the Karuma interconnection power project in Uganda)
(Kyambogo University., 2019-11)
Foundations for overhead transmission line lattice towers are subjected to overturning
loads imposed by winds and impact. Hence, they are designed to resist uplift, compression,
lateral and interconnection cable line-tension ...
Application of value analysis concept on construction cost of low volume roads in Uganda
(Kyambogo University (un published work), 2019-11)
The success of implementation of highway infrastructure projects is usually measured against three parameters; quality, time and cost. However, some of these projects do not achieve expected project goals in terms of ...
Abating the effects of different land use activities on eutrophication of Kabaka’s lake Kampala - Uganda
(Kyambogo University, 2019-11)
Various land uses resulting from urbanization in Kampala the capital city of Uganda, have reduced the natural pollutant filtration value of the wetlands. This has in turn led to a decline in the water quality and gradual ...
