    Reliability Studies on Reinforced Concrete Column Subjected to Axial Load with Natural Stone as Coarse Aggregate
    (NAUJournalofCivil Engineering (NAUJCVE), 2024) Kolo, D. N.; Aguwa, J. I.; Abubakar, Mahmud
    This paper presents the reliability assessment of a reinforced concrete column subjected to Axial loading. Locally available natural aggregate (NA) was used in concrete production, the results of preliminary tests revealed the aggregate was adequate for concrete production. A typical column cross section of 230 × 240 × 3000mm was adopted and probabilistically assessed. First Order Reliability Method (FORM) was employed to estimate the implied probabilities of failures. The results of the sensitivity analysis showed that the reinforced concrete column is structurally safe at length, breadth and depth of 3200, 240 and 230 mm with Probability of Failures of 1.14 ×10-3, 8.45 × 10-4and 8.45 × 10-4 respectively.

    Structural Reliability Studies on Pulverized Glass Powder Concrete Subjected to Bending Forces with Natural Aggregate
    (Ethiopian International Journal of Engineering and Technology (EIJET), 2024-02-01) Kolo, D. N.; Aguwa, J. I.; Hadi, A. M.; Shehu, M.; Ashraf, M.L.M.
    The shortage of housing and basic infrastructure in Nigeria is increasing with a continuous rise in the price of construction materials. Cement is a major component in concrete production. Its production, however, is accompanied by huge carbon dioxide emissions. This research presents the results of structural reliability analysis conducted on reinforced concrete beam produced with pulverized glass powder as partial replacement for cement with Natural aggregate (NA) as coarse aggregate by subjecting it to bending forces. First order reliability method (FORM) was employed to determine the level of safety of the beam. The result of the sensitivity analysis showed that the pulverized glass powder beam with NA as coarse aggregate is structurally safe at a span of 3000 mm and depth of 600 mm with probabilities of failure of 1.00 × 10-3 and 1.04 × 10-3 respectively.
