Description
The agricultural sector in Kisii Central District, Kisii , faces significant post-harvest losses, especially in maize storage, due to inadequate monitoring and management of essential storage conditions. During my research, I visited a store called Rumbuka Seeds in Kisii Central District, which uses a system that fills maize into slots and monitors only humidity and temperature. This limited approach highlights a gap in comprehensive monitoring, as other crucial parameters like CO2 levels are not tracked.
To address these challenges, this project aims to develop and implement a smart maize crop storage monitoring system using the Thing speak cloud platform. The system will utilize NodeMCU, DHT11 sensors, and smoke gas detectors to monitor key storage parameters, including temperature, humidity, and CO2 levels. Integrating the Thing Speak platform allows the system to monitor and manage these parameters in real time effectively.
NodeMCU, a microcontroller with Wi-Fi capabilities, acts as the core unit, collecting sensor data and transmitting it to the Thingspeak cloud server. This data is then processed and stored, enabling farmers to access real-time and historical trends through a user-friendly mobile interface. This interface, provided by the Thingspeak application, allows farmers to view data, analyze trends, and receive alerts, facilitating timely interventions without needing to be physically present at the storage site.
By continuously monitoring storage conditions and providing actionable insights, the smart maize storage system aims to reduce spoilage and post-harvest losses, promote sustainable storage practices, and enhance productivity and profitability for maize farmers in Kisii Central District. The alert system within the Thingspeak platform ensures that farmers are promptly informed of adverse conditions, enabling swift corrective actions. This innovative approach leverages IoT technology and the Thingspeak cloud to provide a more efficient and reliable maize storage solution, addressing a critical need in the region's agricultural sector.

STRUCTURAL AND ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN OF FOUR STOREY MULTI-SHOPPING COMMERCIAL BLOCK PROJECT REPORT
This project entitled “Structural design of four-story multi-shopping commercial block in Kisii Town”. The objective the research was to conduct a technical detail and study on the implementation of Structure design of proposed four story commercial building in Kisii Town in order to solve the problems of our country to fit in vision of land use. Therefore, conducting this research project could be a sustainable solution to the above-mentioned problems. During this research, the analysis of structural elements was made by combining manual analysis, ArchiCAD 18 & Atlantis software for providing architectural plans, arcGIS software for creating and using maps, compiling geographic data, analyzing mapped information, dynamic cone penetration test for determining allowable bearing capacity of the soil, PROKON software for analyzing and designing of structures. The architectural drawings, analysis and the design of all elements of structure, cross sections and reinforcements were calculated. The study revealed that building dimensions are (21.30m*25.60m) and the minimum requirements steel bar in slab at the top four steel bars of ten diameters (4Ø10mm/m), bottom three steel bars of eight diameters (3Ø8mm/m). Beam at top four steel bar of twenty five diameters (4Ø25mm), bottom (4Ø20mm). For the column ground floor (8Ø25mm), first floor (8Ø20mm), second floor (8Ø14mm) and last (4Ø12mm), stairs (4 Ø 12), foundation (5Ø16mm)

STRUCTURAL DESIGN OF MORDERN THREE STOREY HOUSE WITH ROOFTOP TERRACE PROJECT REPORT
This work explores the complexities and challenges of designing a three-storey modern house in Kisii Town, Kisii County. In response to rapid urbanization and the essential role of housing in Kisii County(World Bank, 2018;UN-Habitat 2018), there is an increasing demand for modern, sustainable, and community-oriented residential spaces. This study was conducted to help meet the need for modern housing in Kisii County, as the County faces many challenges in providing adequate and sustainable homes.
The project explains the design and modelling of a G+2, three-storey modern house using Autodesk Robot Structural Analysis Professional 2024(Autodesk 2023), as it provides a clear vision through design, construction, and documentation. With the advancement of technology, the use of software to solve numerous problems in every technical discipline problems that formerly took a long time has become quite common. As a result, the use of software technology in civil engineering to analyze, design, and predict the behavior of structures before their lifespan has increased dramatically over the last decade(Kasthurirangan, 2021).
The research focused on designing a modern house with a rooftop terrace, taking into account practical use, visual appeal, safety, and economic viability. Archi CAD 28(Graphisoft, 2023) and Lumion 10(Act-3D, 2020) software were used for producing the architectural design, while Robot Structural Professional was employed for structural design and analysis, following the British Code as the design standar

STRUCTURAL AND ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN OF TWO COMMERCIAL BUILDING BLOCK PROJECT REPORT
This is a project for construction of two storey commercial building block. This project work “structural design of G+2 commercial building at Nyamache Sub County_ Kisii County sector is a part of fulfillment of advanced diploma as awarded of Kisii National polytechnic (KNP). It contains with conception, structural design which provides proper communication to all of users, this project gives more information about the design and analysis of commercial building. The final project report contains five chapters that are: General Introduction, Literature review, research methodology, system design, analysis and implementation and then Conclusion and Recommendation.
This project report also has been compiled referred to books of different authors and by using equation provided in codes of practice like; British standard used in design of the commercial building. The analysis of each structure members starts with evaluation of all loads that are expected to be carried by structure including self-weight. The structure design of this project detail, beam, slab, stair, column, and foundation by BS8110.
Based on result, the detailed plans of this.
