Design and simulation of an electromechanically operated mechanism to motorize hand pumps.
(Makerere University, 2021-12-20)
Access to instant, piped water which requires minimum human effort to fetch is still a huge challenge in many rural communities of Uganda because most of the people that reside in rural areas are very poor and cannot afford ...
Evaluation of water quality and identification of pollution hotpots on Kabaka's Lake.
(2021-02-12)
Rural-urban migration has caused a rapid increase in the population of Kampala city. The rate of population growth has exceeded the capacity of Kampala City Council Authority to plan for the city (UN-HABITAT, 2007). As a ...
Assessment of the suitability of cement kiln dust as a chemical stabiliser for clay subgrade soils.
(2021-01)
Cement kiln dust (CKD) is a by-product of Portland cement manufacture. This material poses a health hazard, storage problem, and a potential pollution source. Consuming such material in civil engineering works to upgrade ...
Assessment of the strength properties of concrete using partial replacement of cement with cassava brewery waste Ash.
(2021-02)
This report details a study on use of Cassava brewery waste ash (CBWA) as a supplementary
cementitious material in concrete. OPC was replaced with CBWA up to 25% at 5% interval. 12
concrete cubes and 12 beams were prepared ...
An investigation on the partial replacement of cement with Metakaolin and Banana fibers in the production of High Strength Concrete
(Makerere University, 2021-02)
This study seeks to investigate the possibility of replacing up to 45% of Ordinary Portland cement (OPC) with a blend of metakaolin and banana fibers so as to cut down the cost of high strength concrete whilst achieving ...
Automation soil nutrient detection system and fertilizer recommendation for the Tea industry.
(2021-02-01)
We have designed a soil nutrient sensor that detects and quantifies the amount of Nitrogen, Potassium and Phosphorous in the soil sample. After soil testing has been done in the laboratory with the help of chemical reagents, ...
A secure Multi-User Selection Scheme For Internet Of Things.
(2021-02)
This thesis involves secrecy analysis of a secure multi-user selection scheme for Internet of Things nodes. The proposed scheme is TAS-SC-ZFB in the presence of multiple legitimate users and both colluding and non-colluding ...
Reduction of Transient Voltage Instability of High Voltage Transmission Network Using Unified Power Flow Controller (UPFC)
(2021-01-23)
Ideally, we would expect a Kampala Metropolitan High Voltage transmission network to be
stable even if there is a transient voltage disturbance. However, due to lag in the network
development, the existing high voltage ...
Design of a deep learning based pothole detection system.
(2021)
With the number of potholes on the roads rising, as a result of various factors such as road saging due to delayed repairs and poor maintenance has resulted in negative impacts like traffic congestion, road flooding during ...
