Textile concrete provides special architectural and permanent shuttering opportunities.
(2004)High Performance Fibre Reinforced Cementitious Composites (HPFRCC) are characterized by a stress–strain response in tension that exhibits strain-hardening behaviour accompanied by propagation of multiple cracks. This process ... -
Textile concrete: Preliminary mechanical characterization of a new ductile material.
(2003)The mechanisms of ageing and environmental degradation involving exposure to cyclic hot/cold temperatures, wetting/drying movements as well as exposure to a carbon dioxide (CO2)-rich environment, have different effects on ... -
Texture Analysis And Data Fusion In The Extraction Of Topographic Objects From Satellite Imagery.
(Geospatial and Space Technology, University of Nairobi, 2002)This paper examines the influence of multisensor data fusion on the automatic extraction of topographic objects from SPOT panchromatic imagery. The suitability of various grey level co-occurence based texture measures, as ... -
Theoretical Evaluation Of The Effective Alpha And De Jongh Approaches In X-ray Fluorescence Analysis Of Geological Materials In Borax Glass Beads
(University of Nairobi, 1989-12)An evaluation of the accuracy and suitability of the Lachance–Traill algorithm using effective α-coefficients, and the De Jongh α approach for x-ray fluorescence analysis of borax glass beads prepared from geological ... -
Theoretical Underpinnings of Urban Sprawl;
(2009)Urban managers and planners alike are concerned about the occurrence of urban sprawl in cities because of the myriad problems associated with such a phenomenon, First and foremost , urban sprawl takes place in prime ... -
Theoretical underpinnings of Urban Sprawl; in search of a universal theory of the 21st century urban management challenge
(2009)Urban sprawl is a phenomenon which characterizes all urban spaces both in MDCs and LDCs. Managing the problems associated with urban sprawl, especially in LDCs, is, however, mind boggling, hence, the very reason why the ... -
Thermal Roof Design for Tropical Provided Housing
(Architecture and Building Science, University of Nairobi, 1987) -
A three dimensional adjustment model for small scale survey networks.
(1995)A large-scale investigation of fracture flow was recently conducted in a granite uranium mine at Fanay-Augères, France. Its aim was to develop a methodology for the investigation of possible nuclear waste repository sites ... -
A three dimensional geodetic network model for the analysis of localised earth deformation.
(1997)Mathematical models, within the framework of integrated geodetic networks, for localised threedimensional geodetic monitoring networks are presented. The formulation of the mathematical models is based on the kinematic ... -
A Three Level Hierarchical Approach for Optimal Reactive power Planning IEEProc
(1992)The key of reactive power planning (RPP), or Var planning, is the optimal allocation of reactive power sources considering location and size. Traditionally, the locations for placing new Var sources were either simply ... -
Tillage and Farmyard Manure Effects on Crusting Compacting Soils at Katumani, Semi-arid Kenya
(2008)In semi-arid Kenya, the most dominant soil types are of limited agricultural productivity due to crusting and compaction. The occurrence of soil crusting and compaction is attributed to seasonal rainfall characteristics, ... -
Tillage methods and soil and water conservation in eastern Africa
(1993)This paper reviews some research studies on tillage methods influencing soil and moisture conservation in the eastern African countries of Kenya, Tanzania, Malawi and Ethiopia during the past four decades. Most of these ... -
Tillage Practices And Power Requirement For Optional Soil Moisture Conservation Of A Hand Setting Soil In KSAE. Oct. 7-9, 1998.

(Arts and Design, University of Nairobi, 2010) -
Torque wrench calibration and uncertainty of measurement
(2014)Torque wrenches (TW) are widely used in the automotive, aviation and building industry. TW are used to control torque in assembly and fastening operations. Regular calibration of torque tools guarantees traceability to ... -
Total Suspended Particulate Matter in Air of Some Urban Areas in Kenya
(University of Nairobi, 1994)The information available suggests that the concentration of total suspended particulate matter in major urban areas are reaching unprecended levels(>230μg/m3). From the first documented study on total suspended particulate ... -
Toward effective governance of water services in Kenya
(Urban and regional planning, University of Nairobi, 2006)Effective governance is regarded as essential for national water management frameworks. Many countries are therefore striving to institute effective governance in their water sector. Kenya is one country that has ...
