Just in: Prof Osinbajo visits collapsed Mokwa -Jebba bridge
Today The Acting President Osinbajo visited the collapsed Mokwa-Jebba bridge for on-spot assessment.
This is the vital bridge connecting North-South.
We hope a pile integrity test is conducted on most of our bridges in Nigeria.
The pulse echo of our bridges in Nigeria should be used to select the intact piles of our bridges.
Almost all the bridge piles in Nigeria need to be tested, and their capacities estimated.
Core drilling analysis could be used to check the reliability of this method.
The ultimate capacity of a single pile is regarded as one of the most important issues in pile testing.
The static load test (SLT) is considered to be the most reliable method to evaluate the pile capacity; however, it can be expensive and time consuming.
