1.5 SIGNIFICANT OF THE STUDY
The significance of this study shall include the follow:
1) Contractors and engineers shall know how to control erosion in an erosion prone site.
2) The engineers and the general public will because more aware on the importance of erosion control in a site.
3)
Lecturers, students consultants and other stakeholders in the
construction industry will be theoretically & technically equipped
on how to control erosion in an erosion prone construction site.
1.6 STUDY OF AREA
This
study was delimited to the problem of erosion in a site prone to
erosion. It focused on the type and magnitude of erosion at site in
Anambra state and also looked at the specific remedial techniques to
that building site will function effectively and efficiently. Attempt
should be made to look into laboratory experimentation of the material
used for effective control of erosion in building site prone to erosion.
Ekwulobia erosion is gully erosion-gully erosion is of concern due to
periodically intense rainfall and a large average of erodible soils.
Effective design of gully control system must consider the gully network
as a whole and be based on geomorphologic indicators such as type of
network, order and stage of development.
1.7 DEFINITION OF TERMS
According to Grolie (1990). Erosion is the wearing away of the earth surface by the action of water.
According
to Milos Holy (1987). Building is permanent or temporary structure
enclosed within exterior walls and a roof and including all attached
apparatus. Equipment and fixtures that cannot be removed without cutting
into ceiling floors or walls. In the year 1960 Bernard Huss define soil
as the top layer of the earths surface in which plants an grow
consisting of rock and mineral particles mixed with decayed organic
matter and having the capability of retaining water.
