Abstract: Road failure in parts of Bayelsa State Nigeria has been constituting nuisance to human and vehicular activities in the area. This study was designed to investigate the geologic features responsible for road failure in parts of Ogbia Local Government Area of Bayelsa State, Nigeria. Electrical resistivity method involving 2D imaging of the failed parts of Otuoke-Onuebum and Imiringi-Emeyal 2 Roads were conducted on four profiles normal to the strike of the affected......

Abstract: Oil infiltration from industrial infrastructure such as conduits, shafts, and subsurface loading chambers represents a significant environmental concern, particularly regarding soil contamination. This study investigates the temporal effects of oil contamination on the geotechnical properties of sand, including shear strength parameters, volumetric behaviour, permeability, and particle arrangement. Laboratory experiments were conducted using sand samples with varying oil content percentages to evaluate these alterations systematically. Results demonstrated an initial decrease in shear strength and permeability immediately following oil contamination. However,......
