Item Open Access Design and Construction of Underground Cable Fault Location and Notification System.(Kabale University, 2021) Mugisha, SimonThe overhead lines are mostly used when compared to underground cables though in towns and cities, underground cables are preferred. The underground cables are largely used in urban areas instead of overhead lines. This is because they have minimized transmission losses, can lead to death of human beings and destruction of property like buildings. This comes as a result of tall buildings being near the conductors. In determining the location of a fault point in the underground cable, the AC power in the cables is first switched off because they cannot carry both AC power and DC power at once and the standard concept of Ohms law is applied that is, when a low DC voltage is applied at the feeder end through a series resistors representing the cable lines, then current would vary depending upon the location of the fault point in the cable. In case there is a short circuit (Line to Ground), the voltage across series resistors changes depending on the fault location. This voltage is then fed to an Analogue to Digital Converter (ADC) to develop precise digital signal and the Arduino nano communicates the LCD screen to display the status of the underground cables by showing the fault location (distance) in kilometers with its respective phase.Item Open Access Design and Construction of Underground Cable Fault Location and Notification System.(Kabale University, 2021) Mugisha, SimonItem Open Access Longino, Friday (2020).The Design of a Medical Clinic at Kabale University, Faculty of Engineering Technology, Applied Design and Fine Art.

For example, if a client does not pay in time, a utility officer moves to the point where the water meter is located and disconnects the client to stop having access to water. The same applies to reconnection when a customer clears. This research seeks to solve inconveniences by automating the system. If a customer uses up their credit, then water flow should be stopped instantly. Likewise, if a customer pays the bills, they should access the water instantly. In this way, costs involved in disconnection and reconnection are minimised.Item Open Access Design of a Modern Car Parking at the Faculty of Engineering, Technology Aplied Design and Fine Art.(Kabale University, 2020) Byamukama, SamuelThe ever-increasing use of the faculty green land as a parking lot for vehicles called for our group to research and designs a modern car ark.

The increase in the cost and demand of sand for construction is becoming a problem and making the construction more expensive in some parts of the country. Therefore, the replacement of sand-based mortars with soil-based mortars will be economical in the construction. This research addresses on an experimental study to understand the suitability of cement stabilized murram soil of G3 as mortar for construction. Critical properties of mortar have been studied i.e., Workability and Plasticity, Flexural and Compressive Strength, the Bond strength, the Initial and Final setting time of the mortars. The mortar with 0%, 15%, 20%, 25%,50%, 60%, and 75% replacement of sand in murram soil and without varying the percentage of cement was conducted. Their compressive and flexural strength obtained. The compressive strength at the age of 28 days lied within the range of 9.73MPa to 16.42MPa which is acceptable as per the IS code specification, the minimum strength requirement of mortar to be 3 MPa. The initial and final setting time lied in the range of 120 minutes and 150 minutes and the final setting time lied in the range of 270 minutes and 300 minutes for cement and murram mortars respectively. The recommended range of mortar to be used for construction is 30 minutes minimum and 600 minutes maximum for initial and final setting time respectively. The workability of the murram mortar was 82% and the plasticity index of the murram soil was 25%, which lied within the recommended range. The conclusions of the investigation of murram soil shows that the use of cement stabilized murram mortar can be applied in construction as far as the investigated parameters are concerned.Item Open Access Design of a Multi 2-Storied Hostel for Kabale University Student.(Kabale University, 2020) Twesigye, CharlesStructural design is the primary aspect of civil engineering. The very basis of construction of any building, residential house or dams, bridges, culverts, canals etc. is designing. The foremost basic in structural engineering is the design of simple basic components and members of a building viz., Slabs, Beams, Columns and Footings. For their design, an architectural design is prepared using the Auto CAD. In order to design them, it is important to first obtain the plan of the particular building that is, positioning of the particular rooms such that they serve their respective purpose and also suiting to the requirement and comfort of the inhabitants. Thereby depending on the suitability; plan layout of beams and the position of columns are fixed. Thereafter, the vertical loads are calculated namely the dead load and live load from IS: 875. In this project, the design of G+2 floors Hostel building is done according to the Indian standards. IS456 is to be used for the reinforcement design. IS 875 is to be used for the estimation of all the loads on the structure viz. Dead Load, Live Load, and Wind Load. Once the loads are obtained, the slabs are designed. Designing of slabs depends upon whether it is one-way or a two-way slab, the end conditions and the loading. The analysis and designing of beams & columns are done by the “STAAD PRO” software tool. The footings are designed manually, after completion of designing the detailed estimation has to be carried out. This documentation is about the design of a twostoried hostel at KabaleUniversity.

This segment of population is mainly dependent on use of biomass consisting of firewood, charcoal, straw, crop residues to meet its energy demand for cooking and other domestic needs. The aim of this project is to provide detailed analysis of how to generate biogas energy from ordinary pit latrine. To achieve this, the existing pit latrines were first studied, and then different biogas technologies were also studied. An appropriate technology was then selected and the design equations covering the volume of the digester, inlet and outlet chambers were developed considering the shape of the digester. The final layout of biogas pit latrine was developed. This study was motivated due to inefficient exploitation of biogas from ordinary pit latrines. The developed layout ofbiogas pit latrine has been found to be appropriate for biogas production using human waste as substrate. Proper sealing of the gas storage facility is emphasized to avoid leakage and occasional maintenance is highly encouraged.Item Open Access Design of a Modern Car Parking at the Faculty of Engineering, Technology Aplied Design and Fine Art.(Kabale University, 2020) Barusya, GrantThis report contains several chapters giving an overview of the activities we carried out during the design of modern car parking at Nyabikoni campus.
