A legal analysis of the real estate agent in the changing political arena in Kenya
(University of Nairobi, 2004)Over the last six years there has been a tremendous development of infrastructure projects in virtually all corners of Kenya. This has taken the form of Road Improvement Project, Water and sewerage improvement project and ... -
Determination of basic mean hourly wind speeds for structural design in Nairobi county
(University of Nairobi, 2014)Structural Engineers should be able to accurately predict all loads affecting structures. Consideration of wind loads is very important in the s tructural design especially in the design of high rise structures. This, ... -
The dislocation core misfit potential
(University of Nairobi, 2015)The development of a model to extend the range of the embedded atom method (EAM) is presented. The model is founded on the premise that the dislocation core generates a distortion field within the lattice that extends well ... -

(2014)Rainfall scarcity is a constraint to productivity in arid and semiarid regions of Kenya. This chapter identifies the common rainwater harvesting technologies used in Makueni County, a semiarid region, both for domestic and ... -
Tectonic structures across the East African rift likely to pose the greatest earthquake hazard in Kenya.
(University of Nairobi, 2012)Over the last 5-10 years, there has been accelerated geothermal resources development for geothermal power generation in order to meet the country’s electricity demands and hence make Vision 2030 feasible. However, owing ... -
Identification of groundwater potential zones using remote sensing and GIS in lake Chala watershed, Kenya
(University of Nairobi, 2013)Groundwater is a natural resource of the earth that sustains and supports domestic, agricultural and industrial activities. It is distributed fairly and evenly throughout the world and over half of the world’s population ... -
The effect of strain rate and specimen length on the stress-strain relationship of vegetation roots used in slope stabilization.
(University of Nairobi, 2015)The main objective of this investigation was to provide information about the contribution of plant roots to soil shear strength. Reconnaissance of the case study areas was undertaken and geology of the areas established, ...
