IX Research:
(a) Completed:
(i) Development of Software and charts for analyzing stability of slip surfaces or sloped Soils.
(ii) Production of charts to evaluate geotechnical properties of soils contaminated with inorganic salts.
(iii) Evaluation of termites’ impact on soils geotechnical properties.
(iv) Use of cow bone, wood and rice husk ashes as soil stabilisers
(v) Geotechnical evaluation of Calcined Clay in soil geotechnical properties improvement.
(b) In Progress:
(i) Development of cold solution of expanded polystyrene, pet bottle, nylon and disposed serviette materials as soil stabilisers. These waste materials would be processed and used to stabilise both good and poorly graded soils found in South Western Nigeria. The geotechnical properties of the mixture (soil plus stabilizers) would be determined. Emphasis would be placed on how to convert the waste materials to better usage such as in the construction of road base of flexible pavements.
(ii) Generation of geotechnical charts for quick estimation of geotechnical properties of soil within the same geological zone. This is referred to as knowledge-based evaluation of soil geotechnical properties. The research will involve dividing the chosen area into geological zone base on its parent rocks. Soil samples will be collected from each zone and their geotechnical properties measured in laboratory. For each zone, charts of fine to coarse aggregate ratio against soil geotechnical property would be plotted. The charts would be used for approximate determination of soil geotechnical properties. The study will be out carried for major cities in South Western Nigeria.
(iii) Stablisation of weak earth (soil) with fibers referred to as soil reinforcement. Local fibers would be obtained from bamboo, rattan cane, worn out tires, jutes, etc. The fibres would be subjected to durability test and mixed with soils in different proportions. The soil fibre mixtures’ geotechnical properties such as index, permeability, confined compression, shear strength, California bearing ratio and settlement rate would be monitored.
(iv) The study of interaction between structures and soils. This would address few failures of earth structures and soil settlement.

Research Focus of Dr. Gbenga Matthew Ayininuola
The focus of my research over the years has been within the field of Geotechnical Engineering. Specifically, over eighty-six percent of my research output has been carried out in the specific areas of slip surface stability, soil contamination and soil stabilisation or improvement. The analytical works on slip surface stability analyses resulted in generalised equations that take care of shortcomings of earlier methods, for solving stability of slip surfaces irrespective of number of soil strata. Software, charts and graphs were developed as quick tools for solving slip surface problems. The influences of change in soil composition as a result of human activities on soil geotechnical properties were also studied. In this regard, the impact of petroleum products’ spill, inorganic salts (sodium chloride, calcium sulphate), termites and decomposed refuse on soil geotechnical properties were studied. The results of the studies showed clearly that sodium chloride poses treat to soil geotechnical properties, while termites’ activities enhanced soil geotechnical properties positively. In the area of soil improvement, research works were channeled towards using locally available waste materials aside cement and lime such as bone ash, wood ash, rice husk ash, nylon water sachet, shell ash, kaolinite clay, blast furnace slag, animal hair, flax and glass fibre subjected to thorough processes as soil geotechnical properties improvers. The results from these studies showed that these materials if used in recommended quantities are potential soil stabilisers. Research works in other areas of Civil Engineering centred on causes and remedies to buildings’ failure and effective waste management in Nigeria using a Local Government in Ibadan as a case study. An effective method of collecting solid waste was developed while the major cause of buildings’ failure was found to be the client who failed to use his or her inherent power to order for good materials and use qualified manpower for project execution.
