dc.descriptionCONCRETE, A FRIEND OR A FOE? THE CHOICE IS OURS! An Inaugural Lecture Delivered at the University of Lagos on Wednesday 24th January 2024 at the J. F. Ade-Ajayi Auditorium By PROFESSOR EFE EWAEN IKPONMWOSA
dc.description.abstractThe title of my inaugural lecture is "Concrete, A Friend or A Foe? The Choice is Ours!" Recent events and accounts recorded of building/infrastructure collapses in Nigeria have left tales of woes,wailing, and sadness in many homes and families. The structures concerned are usually concrete or reinforced concrete. Concrete that is expected to create shelter for man has turned out to be an agent of destruction of lives and properties. In recent years, we have frequently recorded building and/or infrastructural collapses in Nigeria. This is rather unfortunate. This inaugural lecture will attempt to take us through basic knowledge of concrete to X-ray and carry out a critical appraisal of recent collapses of concrete structures around us when concrete turned out to be our foe instead of our friend. Furthermore, an attempt will be made to proffer solutions aimed at considerably halting the negative trend.
