CHAPTER ONE
1 .0 INTRODUCTION
1 .1 BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
The proposed project is mainly concerned with coming up and adopting the new ways
of construction.to help in designing students hostels in our institution. Inadequate
accommodation is greatest challenge in the RAMOGI INSTITUTE.

1 .2 PROJECT DEVELOPMENT
In this stage we now put in process and features that may affect the operation in the
construction so as to come up strong, spacious durable and decent structure that will last
for long periods.

1 .3 SITE INVESTIGATION
The proposed site was first visited by the project committee , the financier of the
project in order to determine soil analysis, locally available material the site location
was swampy and the ground was slightly sloping therefore dewatering must be done
first bi construction commence.

1 .4 THE TERRAIN
The topography in sited place appear to be sloping and be this require proper survey
leveling to be carried out so as to enhance proper channeling of drainage that can
allow free flow of water to avoid failures.

1. 5 OBJECTIVES
1 .5.1 GENERAL OBJECTIVES
To compare the proposed modern student hostels with the existing one and
those constructed on other nearby institution.
To determine sustainable building technologies currently used Kisumu.
To establish types building design that can be used in the institution and can be
easily adopted by student taking building technology.
To design and construct student hostel that is spacious enough.

1 .5.2 SOIL
The type of soil which was found at this location is cotton soil which by has a high
be amount of water by and be relatively weak. The Investigation involved test analysis
where we dug up a pit and realized that there was plenty of underground beneath soil
surface that lead to caving of the by pit. Despite this problem foundation will be
constructed using pad foundation I method which allows transmission of weight down
to the firm base.

CHAPTER TWO
2.0 ADVANTAGES
Help in solving any incident of difficult task in the field.
Provide more improvement in student’s communication and collaboration skills. Advances
on student’s ability to think and work independently.

2.1 DISADVANTAGES.
A lot of money is needed for construction of this project.
Time wastage, this is because ground was swampy so dewatering must be done.
Scarcity of construction materials such as sand, aggregate and cement

2.2 OBSTACLES
The exact place that the proposed project was to be erected is busy. These trees and
shrubs must be cut before setting out of the project. The area is also swampy, hence it
affects the bearing capacity of the soil.

2.2 PROBLEMS PATAINED

Since the materials required are expensive and workmanship needed is of high
standards. It will there make institution spend a lot of money when constructing this
students hostels.
The soil particles was also weak therefore constructing drainage and erecting
formwork on lose soil particles need quality personnel which is quite expensive.
Hording the site area may cover wide space in order to provide enough ground for the moving
plants hence it is recommended to have fixed plant at the site.
2.3 SITE LOCATION

Proposed students hostels are located at the far end of the institution.

2.4 CONSTRUCTION PROCESS

2.4.1 SUBSTRUCTURE
Site clearance was done first to remove trees and shrubs that was on site location
area, then 2.4.2 Setting out of building.
Excavation of the foundation trench is supposed to be dug till it reaches the firm
level since the top soil is weak. To stabilize ground around the foundation wall, a
retainingwall around it to prevent the foundation from damage by water since it’s
swampy.
The foundation trench should be dug at a depth of 1 500mm and width of 900mm
including working space. The ground beam will be introduced at the ground level to the plinth
height which two feet high.
Pits for these column bases will be dug at a specified depth since the ground is not
even stable beneath upon reaching the specific depth we shall fill a layer marram and
compact it before concrete blinding is done. Column bases will be by placed on top of
the concrete blinding then base will be covered with concrete mix 1 :2:3; leaving the column
reinforcement bars projecting upwards above the ground level.
Columns will be casted to the ground level then a beam will be introduced linking all the
columns together to form a strong foundation that will bear the loads uniformly
without failures.
The beam will rise one and half feet above the ground level, backfilling will be done
using marram then compaction around the foundation area.
Leveling will be done in the Chambers left in between linking beam before hardcore
filling is done. Blinding with marram then placement of DPM then BRC. Formwork will
beconstructed outside circumference of the foundation. After all these prepared
concrete casting will be done for the oversight slab.

2.5 SUPERSTRUCTURE
The above ground external walling will be done using natural dressed quarry stones.
The whole structure will be constructed of concrete frame. The internal partitioning will be
constructed using aluminum framing with glazing intersection for separation of internal rooms.
These will help to reduce the dead load of the building.
The upper floor will be constructed using hollow blocks. This is just done to reduce the dead
weight that is to be subjected to the ground by this building. The floor finish is to be of
terrazzo.
The roofing is to be constructed using steel for its framing and covered with corrugated iron
sheets.

2 .5.1 SURVEY AND SITE ORGANIZATION

The existing features are;
Trees
Building, examples is the old students hostels
Fish ponds
Concreting drive way to the old student hostel
The swamp and it's plantation
The student hostel building will be erected facing the direction of the classes.

CHAPTER THREE

3 .0 METHODOLOGY
3.1 MATERIAL SAMPLING AND PREPARATION

3.1 .1 CEMENT
Pozzolana cement (nguvu cement) 32.5N (N-normal setting)) complying with EN1
97part 1 was used in casting of beams .no preparation and testing was to be
necessary for the cement.

3 .1 2 River sand
Natural River sand from local rivers in Kisumu town was used in mixing the concrete
for casting the beam. Particles distribution of sand be was determined by sieze
analysis within the laboratory (BS 41 0 --- 200).

3.1 .3 NATURAL CRUSHED AGGREGATE.

Since the aggregate was not variable in the study, natural crushed from local quarry
was used for construction of all the beams (BS EN 1 2620:201 3).
3.1 .4 CONCRETE MIX DESIGN
Normal mix (C20) with the ratio of 1:1 .5:3 (BS EN206 part 1) one package of cement tone and
half package of sand to three packages of ballast.

3.2 MATERIALS PROPERTIES/TEST

3.2.1 Gradation test

Size analysis was carried out on River sand to ensure that they conform to BS EN
1 2620 ---1 997. Random sand of the aggregates was done to obtain sample sizes that
were a representative of the whole stock pile of aggregates.

3.2 .2 Compressive test

The Compressive test was carried out on concrete samples from the concrete used for
costing the beam. The Compressive test for the concrete cubes was carried according
to BSEN1 2390 3:2002
3.2.3 Slump of concrete mix
The slump of the fresh concrete was carried out according to BSEN1 2350 2:200.

3.3 THE DESIGN DEVELOPMENT.

The student hostel is designed of two floors, the ground and one upper floor. The ground floor
will accommodate 20 rooms fitted with wardrobes and study tables, reception, manager’s
office,common room, the store, laundry area and washing lines. The upper floor will include
the students rooms fitted with wardrobes and study table, washing line and laundry area. All
the waste will be discharged to manhole is then channeled to the waste storage or to public
sewer line.
All external walls will be designed to be constructed using natural block then rendered, there
will molding projections all-round the Windows. A window sill will be placed below all the
windows to help shades away the rain water.
All internal doors will be made of steel with clear glass glazing. The internal walls will be
constructed using aluminum steel glazed with clear glasses.
The building will be painted with bright white color. The white coloring will be broken out by
pink color that will be painted bellow the window sills, this is done to make it look more
attractive. Window frames are made of aluminum then glazed.
Ventilations shall be provided at the tops of window and door frame. This will cater for the air
circulation within the offices since the glasses will be fixed .The external doors will be
constructed using steel to enhance the strength of these doors hence offering
enough security.
The framed structure of this building shall be constructed of reinforced concrete which will be
thoroughly cured until it gains its final working strength. The ceiling will be done using ceiling
boards of greater thickness in order to help maintain the transmission of heat from the roof hence
maintain temperature within the rooms.
The roof will be constructed of steel framing then covered with galvanized corrugated
iron sheets .Internal painting will done using soft white paints and then plumbing and
electrical shall be done the same time as planned by electrical engineer and
mechanical engineer.

3.4 LANDSCAPING

SURVEYING WORKS
This was general measurement of relative position of natural and man-made features on
earth’s surface.
RECONNAISSANCE SURVEY
Reconnaissance was carried out to determine the nature of the site and its conditions etc.
This was solely to determine the problems that may arise during the construction process and
hence improvising ways of minimizing those problems.
Site investigation was done by walking around the site followed by taking the levels by using a
chain, tape and fixing pegs.
Offsets were taken by measuring instruments like chains, ranging rods, driving hammer, nails,
pegs, field book, calculator, eraser and pencil.
The area of the site was set out by use of 3.4.5 confirmed by building square method to
ascertain that the corners are at right angle.

LEVELING AND CONTOURING

This was followed by dividing the plot into grids of 10m x 10m length and width respectively.
Readings were recorded at each inter site.
The recordings were then reduced by rise and fall method with levels transferred from station
to the site location by taking back sight and foresight readings.
Interpolation was then carried out and contour map drawn using a scale of 1:100

FINDINGS
The following data was obtained as per the nature of the site:
The site seemed to be of gentle slope

INTRODUCTION
Sub surface investigation and lab testing for proposed hostel project was referred by MTRD

[Materials Testing Research Division]. The objective of the work done was to determine the

Bearing soil capacity of the two story building .The machines used include drilling machine and

Also CBR machine for testing soil samples.

SUB SURFACE EXPLORATION

The actual investigation work was done on 18/02/2020 and completed on 19/02/2020

DRILLING
One borehole of 150mm diameter is drill up to a depth of 10m where caving of the borehole

Occurred, shutters were put to keep the bore hole stable.

DISTURBED SAMPLES
Disturbed representative samples were collected logged and placed in bags.

UNDISTURBED SAMPLES
They were collected in 100mm diameter thin walls from the borehole.
METHOD OF SAMPLING
Sampler is coupled together with a sampler head to form a sampling assembly. The sampler Head provide a non
–flexible connection between the sampling tube and the drill rods.

Vent holes are provided in the sampler head to allow escape of water from the top of the sampler Tube during
penetration. The sampling tubes are made free from dust and rust, coating of oil is applied on both sides, to
obtain undisturbed sample in best possible manner.

The sampler is then lowered inside the borehole on a string of rods and driven predetermined level. The

sample is first rotated with the borehole to shear the soil sample the recorded. The soil at the lower End of

the tube to a distance about 10-20 mm .After cleaning and inserting an impervious disc at each End, both

ends are sealed. If there is any air space in the sampler, it is filled with moist soil and end covered with

tight wrapper. The identification mark is made on each sample.

LABORATORY TESTS
Lab tests where started done after sampling

The following lab tests were conducted to determine physical and engineering properties of the soil;

1. particle size distribution

2. Dry density and moisture content

3 .Atterberg’s limit

4. Shear tests

FIELD DRY DENSITY

The weight of the undisturbed soil sample is done after removing paraffin, wax and loose soil. The total

Length of the soil sample is determined after deducting empty length from the total length of the sample. The
volume of the soil mass retained in the sampler is thus determined from the unknown.

The soil mass is then removed and average moisture content is determined . The empty weight of

The sampler is determined, from the empty weight of the sampler with the soil mass, the weight of the
sampler is deducted. Field dry density is then found out.

Field [Bulk] density = weight of soil mass/volume of soil

FDD = Field bulk density

1+w
PARTICLE SIZE DISTRIBUTION
The particle of sample is weighed then separated through fractions by sieve through the following sieves

100mm, 75mm, 19mm and 4.75mm.

ATTERBERGS LIMIT
Liquid and plastic limits are determined and the results are given in result sheet.

A cone penetrometer is used to determine the plasticity index of the soil

The penetration of the soil is determined by the formula

W LL =WX +0.01 [25-W][WX +15]

SPECIFIC GRAVITY
It is determined by a 50ml density bottle specific gravity = [w2-w1]/[w3-w4]

SHEAR TESTS
Tri-axial tests are done to determine the shear parameters

DISCUSSIONS ON FIELD AND LAB TEST

Sub-soil stratification

The proposed site is having a major single layer up to the depth of investigation

Layer [i] brownish yellow silt loamy soil

Layer [ii] brownish yellow loam with medium

[PI] Layer [iii] yellow hard loamy soil

SAFE BEARING CAPACITY

Looking at the soil condition and the sub-stratification and type of proposed project RCC foundation pad
is recommended along with safe bearing capacity at certain depth.

SBC based on shear

The ultimate net capacity is evaluated after taking into consideration of the shape factor and the depth
factor for the foundation. The net bearing capacity is worked out using the following equation
 Q= CNcSc dc+ Q [N-1]Sqdq +0.5 By SR dr

Where c= cohesion b= width of the footing

Q = overbearing pressure Nc Nq Nr = bearing capacity

factor Y = density ScSqSr = shape factor

Dc dqdr depth factor

CONCLUTIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

Sub-soil stratifications of the proposed site up to the depth of the investigation is bellow

from 0.0-0.3 brownish black silt loam of high plasticity index with little gravel

From 0.3- 5.1 brownish yellow loamy soil with medium [PI]

From 5.1 m -10m brownish yellow very stiff loam soil with low

[PI] Water table was considered in the analysis of the SBC

Looking for the product RCC pad foundation is recommended along with safe bearing capacity of 2.5

Suitability of soil for backfilling. The top layer of soil has high swelling characteristics which is
not suitable for backfilling.
