Population is increasing in this world and it is also true phenomenon in our country. The number of population migrating from rural areas to cities and the high level of birth rate in Ethiopia has substantial contribution for such rapid increase in population. Addis Ababa, being the capital of this country, is one of the cities where rapid growth of population is …



production in Ethiopia. Normal weight aggregate is generally produced in Ethiopia by crushing parent rocks using mechanical crushers or traditional methods. Basaltic rock is a good example of parent rock, which is used mainly for coarse aggregate production in and around [4]. 2.2. Properties of Aggregate







Quarries are open cast excavations from which fairly massive and deep deposits of hard or soft rocks are extracted, usually for the production of aggregates. the destructive nature of quarrying together with poor management of quarry sites has a serious environmental impact leading to a serious threat. This study focuses on the environmental and social …



The production of aggregate for the infrastructural development of the country has been increasing for the last three decades due to the high urbanization rates in the main cities of the country and the ever-growing demand for basic infrastructural facilities. The environmental impact of both fine and coarse aggregate production is now …

















of quarrying These factors that lead to setting up a granite quarry are per-tinent and variable physical and financial features considered and analyzed when intending to set up a granite quarry [10]. The sig-nificance of each variable will be a function of setting up a granite quarry. These factors include: a. Nature and orientation b.





Ethiopia is one of the most well endowed countries in Sub-Saharan Africa in terms of natural resources (Gete et al. 2006). However, natural resource degradation in Ethiopia has been going on for centuries (Hurni et al. 2010). Similarly, Berry (2003) also stated that loss of land resource productivity is an important problem in Ethiopia



The quality of crushed stone aggregates influences the durability and performance of pavement and concrete as they are the dominant component in the mix. Hence, the selection of a suitable quarry site with the quality source material is essential. Since the quarry site suitability assessment involves various factors, it is more …







The nascent cobblestone construction industry in Ethiopia is proving to be a major boost in the country's efforts to create additional employment opportunities and produce alternative road construction material. ... "Like that of sand and coarse aggregate mining areas, ... "After the quarrying operation is done, it should be rehabilitated ...



2.5. Stone Quarrying in Ethiopia Ethiopia is the place on earth in which humanoids made the first stone tools, and the sophisticated use of stone in the construction of building dates much earlier 3.5 million years back. ... "Like that of sand and coarse aggregate mining areas, cobblestone quarries are neglected and are not rehabilitated ...







Addis Ababa Science and Technology University School of Graduate Studies Assessment on Recycling of Concrete Aggregate in Ethiopia A Case Study of Addis Ababa A Project Work submitted and presented to the school of graduate studies of Addis Ababa Science and Technology University in partial fulfillment of the degree of Masters of Engineering …





The Ethiopian population is characterized by a young age structure with a median age of not more than 18 years - a feature of rapidly growing population. Table 3 shows the age distribution of the population for the last two decades. On the whole, the table shows that the proportion of total population under 15 years of age was a little over 45% ...







This makes aggregate production one of the most important mining industries in the world. Aggregate is a high bulk but relatively low cost construction materials. Its market value is determined from being located near to the construction site. Transporting aggregates long distances increase its cost. Therefore, the operation of aggregate ...

As a result of quarrying natural habitats and features such as; hedgerows and trees can be removed (Saha and Padhy 2011). Quarrying activities have the potential to impact an area of valuable habitat, particularly when it is located in the ...







This report uses the International Futures (IFs) modeling system to explore Ethiopia's current development trajectory. It then considers scenarios that simulate ambitious, but realistic, 5-year interventions (2017-2021) across different development sectors, and explores the effects of these interventions on development outcomes to 2030 or beyond.
