Journal Article
Nukah, P. D., Abbey, S. J., Booth, C. A., & Oti, J. (2024). Development of low carbon concrete and prospective of geopolymer concrete using lightweight coarse aggregate and cement replacement materials. Construction and Building Materials, 428, Article 136295. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.conbuildmat.2024.136295

The use of Ground Granulated Blast-furnace Slag (GGBS) as an alternative cement replacement material in combination with conventional coarse aggregate have been successful in the production of near green concrete. Undoubtedly, GGBS has exhibited good... Read More about Development of low carbon concrete and prospective of geopolymer concrete using lightweight coarse aggregate and cement replacement materials.

Development of a Lytag-silica fume based lightweight concrete and corresponding design equation for pure bending (2023)
Journal Article
Abbey, S. J., Ghassan, N., Booth, C. A., & Nukah, P. D. (in press). Development of a Lytag-silica fume based lightweight concrete and corresponding design equation for pure bending. Case Studies in Construction Materials,

This study presents a novel Lytag-silica fume concrete (LSFC) for structural and other construction applications. The evaluation of compressive strength development and stress strain relationships of the LSFC light weight was carried out to determine...

To improve the prediction of compressive strength and embodied carbon of low carbon concrete using a program algorithm developed in MATLAB, 84 datasets of concrete mix raw materials were used. The influence of water, silica fume and ground granular b... Read More about Optimisation of embodied carbon and compressive strength in low carbon concrete.

Application of three nodded finite eleme (2018)
Journal Article
Eyo Ephraim, M., Ode, T., & Dumale Promise, N. (2018). Application of three nodded finite eleme. American Journal of Civil Engineering, 68-77. https://doi.org/10.11648/j.ajce.20180602.13

The convergence of numerical solution based on two nodded beam finite element require considerable number of iterations and time; and is also plagued with shear locking. To address these deficiencies a three nodded beam element is proposed in thi... Read More about Application of three nodded finite eleme.
