ABSTRACT
A book shelve is a structure which here
series of compartments for the preservation of books, valuable or useful
materials, which are made up of metal, wood or plastic materials of
construction. (Engineering materials).
The book shelve was constructed in the
institute. (I.M.T Enugu).
However, before the construction, two
standard metal sheets of length 96 inches and height 48 inches respectively,
where dimension and divided into these required dimensions and sizes. Then
welding operation were carried out and the dimension parts was welded into
their fit places.
More so, filling of operation was also
carried out, in other to smooth surface of the construction work and filling of
pores and holes created was done.
Finally, in other to avoid destruction and
corrosion or chemical attacks painting operation was done which the last
operation was carried out.
Furthermore, the major result obtained from
the construction were up to standard of a recommended book shelve. The cost for
labour, purchasement, transportation, machine, and general total cost was
N24,000.00 only (Twenty four thousand Naria only).

INTRODUCTION
A book shelve is a set of shelves with doors
either built into a room offices or industries as a fixed, or a separate piece
of furniture, used for utensils, provisions, clothing, storing, book shelves
etc. those cupboard used in the libraries and offices for packing books are
called book shelves.
In the
industries, materials are stored in cupboard refer as a facility for storage.
In material selection for the construction
of any cupboard strongly depends on the
properties and purposes the cupboard will serve. Generally, considering all the
materials of construction, it can be seen that, for instance, both metals and non- metals have their
individual merits. But in companism, metals have a lot of advantages over
non.metals.
For instance, while many types of metal are suitable for high
temperature operation, non.metals such as wood and glass are suitable for lower
and limited range of temperatures. Metals posses a wider range of chemical
stability them non.metals. So, it can be said that the obvious advantage of
first cost cheapness of non.metallic materials is counseled by other
disadvantages of non.metals, the most glaring of which is that of narrow
applicability. Considering the cost also, the first cost of materials is even
not takes as a sufficient indicator on which to base the selection of
construction materials. The following cost factors among other must also be
considered. Fabrication cost, installation cost, maintenance cost and cost of
replacement. These cost factors must be considered in the material selection
for construction.
Books shelve desire it name and purpose
sometimes from the material of construction and also the shape it takes. Most
book shelves built in homes, usually used for lairing clothes, serves the
purposed of protecting clothes for the dust and other things and so, they are
arranged in a chronological order, files are also arranged in arc inside the
book shelve for protection of the necessary documents of the institution. Such
cupboards are normally refers to as bookshelves. It is usually made of metals.
Most
cupboards used for domestic purposes such as keeping of dishes and provisions,
are usually made of wood, and in this case, there is no observation of all the
operation involved in the construction of metal cupboard.
This is because of the soft nature of wood.
Instead of the use of guillotine saw is
used in the cutting off, of the excess of use of the wood during
constmction.instead the use of welding, nail is used in the arrangement of the
different parts of cupboard. Another major different between those cupboard
made of wood and those made of metal is that, wooden cupboard cannot protect
the trough inside it in presence of fire outbreak without getting burnt
There are several types of metals that
can be used for construction. Metals for contraction include: Gold, Silver,
Aluminum, Bronze, Steel, and Iron. There are usually about three types of
steel, as it constitutes the widest use metal. These types include low
carbon-steel that has about 0.3%-0.4% carbon contain about 0.3%-0.6% carbon,
and high carbon steel that contain about 0.7%-20%carbon.
Steel are used in the
construction of metal cupboard, this is because it is soft to cutting, bending
and several operation applied to the metal during construction. The galvanized
type of steel has a nature of stainless steel and so does not support rust.
Because of this, it is not painted after using it for construction. In
fabrication of sheets of metals, several types of gauge are produced and these
include, gauge 22, gauge 20, gauge18, gauge16, gauge14, gauge12 and gauge10.
G auge18 and gauge16 are the best
types of metal bookshelves
