Swell and microstructural characteristics of high-plasticity clay blended with cement (2019)
Journal Article
Abbey, S. J., Eyo, E. U., & Ngambi, S. (2020). Swell and microstructural characteristics of high-plasticity clay blended with cement. Bulletin of Engineering Geology and the Environment, 79, 2119-2130. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10064-019-01621-z

This study presents the effect of high plasticity on swell potential, swelling pressure and micro structural characteristics of kaolinite-bentonite mixed clays. Five different combining ratios of kaolinite bentonite mixture of 100:0, 90:10, 75:25, 50... Read More about Swell and microstructural characteristics of high-plasticity clay blended with cement.

Dynamic analysis of Footbridge to Eurocode (case study on Leventis Footbridge, Aba Road, Port Harcourt) (2019)
Journal Article
Ngekpe, B. E., Gualo, C., & Abbey, S. J. (2019). Dynamic analysis of Footbridge to Eurocode (case study on Leventis Footbridge, Aba Road, Port Harcourt). Jordan Journal of Civil Engineering, 13(1),

This research project presents a dynamic structural analysis of footbridges as per Eurocode (case study on Leventis Footbridge, Aba Road, Port Harcourt). The footbridge was simulated using a commercial finite element software; Midas FEA. The crowd-fo...
