Developing a sustainability rating framework and indicator decision sub-logic for highway design and construction sector in Nigeria. (2023)
Thesis
UCHEHARA, I. 2023. Developing a sustainability rating framework and indicator decision sub-logic for highway design and construction sector in Nigeria. Robert Gordon University, PhD thesis. Hosted on OpenAIR [online]. Available from: https://doi.org/10.48526/rgu-wt-2271507

Highway infrastructure development projects improve living standards across communities and cities, and increase the economic growth and societal expectations of a country. Due to anthropogenic activities, the use of sustainability strategies is enco...

Rubberised concrete confined with thin-walled steel profiles: a ductile composite for building structures. (2023)
Journal Article
JAFARIFAR, N., BAGHERI SABBAGH, A. and UCHEHARA, I. 2023. Rubberised concrete confined with thin-walled steel profiles: a ductile composite for building structures. Structures [online], 49, pages 983-994. Available from: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.istruc.2023.01.134

Tyre components are high-quality materials, which can be utilised and disposed into construction projects. Despite its high ductility and impact resistance, rubberised concrete (RuC) with high rubber content has a strength much lower than that of con...

Sustainability rating system for highway design: a key focus for developing sustainable cities and societies in Nigeria. (2021)
Journal Article
UCHEHARA, I., MOORE, D., JAFARIFAR, N. and OMOTAYO, T. 2022. Sustainability rating system for highway design: a key focus for developing sustainable cities and societies in Nigeria. Sustainable cities and society [online], 78, article number 103620. Available from: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.scs.2021.103620

A growing body of evidence suggests that continuous increases in global population and urbanisation wield pressure across biodiversity. Nigeria and a few other Asian nations will account for 35% of the urban increase in the future, and there is a sci...

Industry experts internationally have raised concerns regarding the significant risk posed to the real estate sector by the unprecedented global pandemic of Covid-19. The influence of Covid-19 has been swift, and with emerging wide-ranging consequenc... Read More about Impacts and risk management of COVID-19 pandemic on real estate supply chain..

Highway sustainability construction: reducing carbon emissions using process management. (2020)
Conference Proceeding
UCHEHARA, I., HAMMA-ADAMA, M. and MOORE, D. 2020. Highway sustainability construction: reducing carbon emissions using process management. In Scott, L. and Neilson, C.J. (eds.) Proceedings of the 36th Association of Researchers in Construction Management (ARCOM) annual conference 2020 (ARCOM 2020), 7-8 September 2020, [virtual conference]. Leeds: ARCOM [online], pages 305-314. Available from: http://www.arcom.ac.uk/-docs/archive/2020-Indexed-Papers.pdf

Carbon emission is a critical issue in infrastructure development, in which the highway construction industry is inclusive. Previous studies suggest that continuous carbon emission across the highway projects is due to the use of different types of c...
