The flexural strength of cement-based composites using low modulus (sisal) fibres
(University of Nairobi, 1979)A model of the flexural behaviour of a cement-based composite reinforced with low modulus fibres is presented. The model predicts large increases in the flexural strength of such composites under certain conditions. An ... -
Flood management and climate change adaptation in Kibera Informal Settlements: the case of Silanga village
(University of Nairobi, Kenya, 2012)A warmer climate coupled with increased climate variability such as EI Nino will significantly increase the risk of floods in poor countries in the developing world (IPCC, 2007). As rains become heavier, streams, rivers, ... -

Fracture behaviour of ceramic cylinders due to thermal stresses
(Department of mechanical and manufacturing engineering, 1986)Recently developed domestic stoves are equipped with ceramic lining that surround the fire. During use these linings are exposed to thermal stresses arising due to the temperature gradients across the walls of the ... -
Fracture in thin sheets due to biaxial loading
(Mechanical Engineering, 1989)Although actual structural members are subjected to multi-axial loads, material properties are derived from expurim ntal works in a single-direotion load application. Thus analysis of materials under multi-axial loads ... -
