The economic development of the world poses a serious challenge to the natural environment. To overcome the growing environmental crisis and successfully solve the emerging waste recycling problems, it is necessary to save the environment by economics, industries and society. The experience of some foreign countries in the fields of ecology and sorting, processing and disposal of waste gives hope for a number of possible changes in the field of improving the quality of the environment.","PeriodicalId":210581,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Civil Engineering Research & Technology","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117071630","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The existing rich potential of geotechnical technologies allows us to successfully perform the tasks of building foundations for buildings in any engineering and geological conditions and on any territory, including slopes, ravines, embankments. Very often there are cases of erection of objects on rugged territories with alternating structurally unstable soils, moreover, additionally loaded with artificial leaning slopes. In geotechnical practice, there are still cases of construction on such slopes without proper engineering and technical support, i.e. without the presence of actually carried out engineering surveys, as well as developed antilandslide measures. Ultimately, in most cases, the neglect of generally accepted standards leads to undesirable consequences, expressed in deformations of the constructed buildings. This article considers one such case.","PeriodicalId":210581,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Civil Engineering Research & Technology","volume":"82 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126261486","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
{"title":"Comparative Analysis of Concrete Water-Proofing Materials","authors":"Reuben Peters Omale","doi":"10.47363/jcert/2022(4)122","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.47363/jcert/2022(4)122","url":null,"abstract":"Concrete is porous when exposed to water, because water passes through its pores defacing the concrete and corroding the reinforcements, this overall effect weakens concrete. Waterproofing of concrete is very essential in building parts which are constantly exposed to moisture from ground water and rain water. This study compared bituminous felt with cementitious crystalline waterproofing materials for concrete. In this study, a particular square area of concrete slab was assumed, and a market survey was conducted to determine the cost of purchase and installation of bituminous felt and cementitious crystalline waterproofing materials for the assumed square area. The bill of quantities for both options was done to aid the comparisons and cost of maintenance of both materials. The results of the study showed that bituminous felt was the most widely used waterproofing material, while cementitious crystalline waterproofing material on the other hand is not a very popular material as most building professionals did not know about its existence. The market survey showed that it was cheaper to install cementitious crystalline waterproofing material than to install bituminous felt and the cost of maintenance of cementitious waterproofing material was also negligible compared to bituminous felt. Though cementitious crystalline waterproofing material is new in Akure market, it has a promising future in the construction industry not only in Akure but in Nigeria’s construction industry at large.","PeriodicalId":210581,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Civil Engineering Research & Technology","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128436120","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
