Water is a precious natural resource vital for life, national development and the environment. Groundwater resource supports many urban and rural area of Ethiopia. In Addis Ababa city the shortage of portable water has not yet been solved even if Addis Ababa Water and Sewerage Authority have...
In Ethiopia, most wastewater effluent is directly released in to rivers. Kebena River is one of the rivers, which is affected by municipal wastewater generated from different households, hospitals, hotels of Addis Ababa city. The study was conducted to evaluate and map water quality status of...
This research focused on the performance of water supply network of Kolfe keraniyo areas found in Kolfe keraniyo sub city of Addis Ababa Ethiopia. The main objective of this research was to evaluate the supply performance and chlorine concentration level of existing network of Gefersa by-pass sub...
Environmental degradation in urban rivers are becoming common problems, even worsening due to the increased anthropogenic causes led by urbanization. Urban river reach‟s morphology is highly sensitive for alteration by the human settlement and municipal demands. Flooding during the rainy...
Addis Ababa Water and Sewerage Authority invested 750 million ETB for installing membranernbioreactor units in the city. This new technology is expected to double the wastewater treatmentrncapacity of the city. Evaluating the performance of the units is necessary in estimating thernlikelihood of...
Urbanization takes place takes place in Ethiopia early 1900‟s. The rate is different from place to place; this is mainly due to social and economic influences. Among the big cities of Africa Addis Ababa is the one with high population low planned urbanization influence. This lack of proper...
The methodology emphasizes the importance of the new predictive model development, and to account for water demand uncertainty, through evaluation of the reliability of model predictive.rnIn this thesis Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) and fuzzy logic models were used for Mekelle city water...
Sebeta town is one of the rapidly expanding and selected as factories center now a daysrnin Ethiopia. Unfortunately, street flooding and over topping drainage system problemsrnare occurring at the rainy season in a town. The runoff generation in the study area isrnincreasing due to a combination of...
Proper drainage system is required in developing urban areas. In Addis Ababa, drainage problem become an issue during rainy season. This study deals with investigation of storm drainage problem of Addis Ababa and a possible mitigation measure to overcome the problem. Despite there are many places...
This thesis assesses the development of a new live load model for Ethiopian bridges thatrnreflects the actual developments of the growing traffic. To have a clear idea of thernresearch idea different countries' experiences and models were explored to have the bestrnbenchmark practice that helps to...
The purpose of this work is to study the effect of layered reinforcement arrangement on the deformation and cracking of reinforced concrete beams in both flexural and tensile loading. The study is based on analytical simulation of four flexural beams and eleven tensile beams in objective of...
Currently, the construction sector demands more materials with good quality than ever. On the contrary, materials are scarce and depleting. So, the need for alternative construction materials that are renewable, cheaper, and eco-friendly is increasing. Studies on partial and full replacement of the...
This paper considers a spherical concrete dome of constant span length sixty-meter and ten-centimeter thickness. Analytical and SAP2000 finite element software are employed for analysis. Ten different models for dead load, live load and wind load are done. All together thirty models are conducted...
