Description

The "Design and Implementation of an Automatic Railway Gate Control System" focuses on developing a safety system for managing railway level crossings to prevent accidents between cars and trains. In many regions, unguarded railway crossings pose a significant risk, leading to accidents when vehicles attempt to cross the tracks as a train approaches. This study addresses this challenge by designing a prototype system using Arduino Uno, servo motors, obstacle sensors, LCD screens, and a buzzer to automatically control the gates at railway crossings. The primary objective of this project is to enhance safety by automatically closing the gate when a train is detected, ensuring that vehicles are kept off the tracks during the train's passage. Two obstacle sensors are employed to detect trains approaching from the north and south, triggering the closure of the gates through servo motors. LCD screens display train detection information, and a buzzer sounds an alert when the train is nearby. This prototype serves as a demonstration of how such technology can be implemented to improve safety at real-world railway crossings. The significance of the study lies in its potential to reduce the number of accidents and fatalities at railway crossings, particularly in areas where manual gate control is impractical or unavailable. By automating the process, the system ensures timely gate closures, minimizing human error and reaction delays. The methodology used in the study involved software-based development and testing of the system components. Arduino programming was employed to control the sensors, motors, and displays, simulating the real-time operation of the system. No questionnaires were used, as the project focused on technical implementation. The findings indicate that the automatic gate control system successfully closes the gates when a train is detected, provides real-time alerts via the LCD screens, and triggers the buzzer to warn approaching vehicles. This system, though a prototype, demonstrates the feasibility of using automated systems for railway gate management. In conclusion, the project demonstrates the potential for implementing automatic railway gate control systems to improve safety at crossings. With further development, such systems can be applied in real-world scenarios, helping to prevent accidents and save lives.

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.
