Study on the Root Cause of Fuel Tanker Truck Accidents in Nigeria: Reliability of Accidents Caused by Human Factors (HF)
Abstract: Accidents involving transportation of petroleum products by road are of high frequency in Nigeria, mainly because of overdependence on the tanker-truck system due to pipeline vandalism. We analyzed over 92 accidents involving tankers-trucks from 2014 to 2019. In this study, the analysis is done to examine the factors that caused the accident using accident records and petroleum distribution data from the Federal Road Safety Commission (FRSC). Petroleum tanker-truck accident reports …

Investigation of Root Cause of Fuel Tanker Truck Accident in Nigeria Resulting from Constrain Factors
Abstract: The research demonstrates the investigation of reliability of root cause of fuel tanker truck accident in Nigeria resulting from some constrain factors. The constrain factors considered are age group, ownership status of fuel tanker trucks, drivers’ educational qualification and drivers’ years of experience and the states considered in this research are Lago State (Lagos Park) and River State (Port Harcourt). The study reveals age distribution of drivers in the following …

Examination of Root Cause of Fuel Tanker Truck Accident in Nigeria: The Concept of Reliability of Non-Human Factor
Abstract: The non-human factor in terms of fuel tanker truck accident in some area of Nigeria was investigated to know the root cause as well the contributing factors and to project the way forward to mitigate the menace, because at the end human life are lost. This investigation was addressed by applying the concepts of reliability, probability and relative accident consequence, in which the mean time between accident, accident rate and …

Ship Collision analysis of tanker using finite element method at high and low impact velocities
Abstract: The aim of this paper presents a study of ships collision to improve crashworthiness of double side tanker ships and minimize accidental oil spills in the event of collision. Structural design of ships against collision requires prediction of the extent of damage to ship structures subjected to impact. Ship design against conventional loads such as shearing, bending and local buckling and the accidental loads requires applying different stiffening systems for …

Design and Fabrication of Trammel Balls
Abstract: Transportation of water plays a vital role in the survival of a growing population. If the scarcity of water is one major issue, transportation of water using tankers have their own share. Water in a partially filled container, when induced with external energy (motion), generates slosh and surge. Both slosh and surge effects work as a resistive factor during transportation. To eliminate the same, few holes are drilled at pre-desired …

Causes of Fire Outbreaks at Onitsha Markets in Anambra State: Proffering Architectural and Other Safety Measures Against Their Repetitions in Nigeria
Abstract: Frequent fire outbreaks in market places in Nigeria, particularly in Anambra State is a problem that has been significantly rated high; they have caused injuries, loss of lives, goods and properties. To curtail this problem, a research was conducted on the three major markets in Onitsha in AnambraState with the aim of assessing the causes of fire in the markets, in order to proffer architectural and other safety measures against …

Cow and its role in the sustainable development
Abstract: During Vedic times the economy, agriculture, medicinal aspects of society are directly or indirectly based on cows and bulls. There is a close relationship between human welfare and welfare of the cows. When we consider milk alone, now-a-days, milk is processed in automated dairies, by blending several additives. In such dairies, the main motive is the profit for the business at the cost of exploitation of cows. There is no …

Treatment of Oil Spills and Heavy Metals in Environment
Abstract: Treating oil spills and heavy metals is the problem of the old decades and continued to find technicalsolutions to address the problems of pollution with heavy metals and oil spills in sea waters as aresult of transporting oil in ships. In general, the health of all marine and terrestrial organisms aswell. This term usually refers to offshore oil spills, where oil is poured into the ocean or coastalwaters, but may …

Numerical Study on the Effect of Ball Baffles in Reducing Sloshing Loads in Ship Tanks
Abstract: Sloshing is the free surface motion of a liquid in a partially filled container under periodic motion. Liquid sloshing will result in dynamic pressure on the walls of the container causing large deformations to the tank as well as the supporting structures and carrier. This dynamic pressure on the tank walls due to slosh waves are conventionally mitigated in the tanks of very large crude oil carrier (VLCC) ships by …
