The Use of Waste Glass Experimental Model to Prevent Lethal Oceanic Waves and Flooding from Lagos Areas

Abstract

A resistance glass material model is made to prevent the lethal oceanic wave paths that are characteristically flooding the Lagos State coastal line during oceanic rise due to climate change as resulted from global warming. The experimental model made from waste glass material matrix would prevent the oceanic wave paths due to glass resistance material that structural glazed the concrete made of iron rods, With over ten million people that are currently living in a densely populated areas of Lagos coastal line could be somehow perished in the nearest future due to recent rapid rise of the oceans globally. The rising ocean waves need to be adequately checked through some proper preventive measures. Various examinations were therefore conducted on the glass structures experimental made. Results were obtained and eventually analysed to check the oceanic lethal currents rise. Both theoretical and empirical frameworks were intensively studied to guide in the preventive measure of the expected oceanic destructive surges and coastal line floods especially in between the months of July and November annually. Besides, global warming; human activities and pollution are major responsible factors that have also contributed to the erosional problems and flooding of Lagos coastal line and beaches. These  factors mentioned have also helped in raising the oceanic temperature to 26⁰C  presently. Care should be taken not to further increase the temperature to 27⁰C; otherwise tropical environment disturbances like heavy rainfall and floods should be expected in Lagos state. The experimental glass with matrix model is therefore designed and constructed to prevent the ocean wave forces and loaded sediment materials through the structural strength and durability resistance in an economical process.
