Monitoring recent crustal movements in the Kenya rift valley by global positioning system (GPS)—a proposal
(1991)
There is evidence that the Kenya Rift is active. 1990 witnessed the execution of the Kenya Rift International Seismic Project to study the deep structure of the Kenya Rift. Yet there is no actual measurement of the rate ...
Efficient shear reinforcement for RC beams - analysis using compression field theory
(1997)
It is known that inclined reinforcement is effective in resisting shear in structural concrete beams, but such reinforcement is only specified in design codes to be in the form of bent-up flexural longitudinal reinforcement. ...
Nutrient Losses from Cropland in the Central Highlands of Kenya due to Surface Runoff and Soil Erosion
(University of Nairobi,, 1995-02)
Soil loss, runoff and nutrient losses were measured on runoff plots during the rainy season from November 1992 to January 1993. Crops grown were maize (Zea mays L.), beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) and an intercrop of maize ...
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 ...
Measurement of SO2 in Nairobi
(University of Nairobi, 1995)
Sulphur dioxide in the atmosphere at Nairobi industrial area and its environs was measured using pararosaniline method. Higher concentrations were recorded in the morning hours (14.2-112.0μgm3) than in the afternoon ...
Non-destructive XRF analysis of Nigerian and Kenyan clays
(University of Nairobi, 1997-04)
Nigerian and Kenyan clays were analysed using energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence (EDXRF) technique and thirteen elements (Ca, Ti, Mn, Fe, Ni, Cu, Zn, Br, Rb, Sr, Zr, Nb and Pb) were detected. The health implications, ...
