Concrete roof decking, processes

Decked roof may not give you too many options in terms of design, but it also has its own advantages and quite a few uses decked roof.

Before you decide on using decked roof or concrete slab to cover your structure you must have factor the weight during design process.

In this case we are looking at flat concrete roof.

CONSIDERATIONS

i-You must factor in the load on the foundation with your structural design/drawing due to extra weight.

ii-The granite chippings should be very small like half inch or 3/4down ,the finer the granules/aggregates , the more impermeable to water the concrete becomes, larger aggregates creates too many air pores that can allow water to drip into the inner part of the building.

iii-There should be high cement aggregate minimum should be 1:2:4 but ideally 1:1 ½:3 or less

iv-The mixing process of cement ,sand but preferably stone dust,and granite should be thorough, using hand mixing is not advisable, the machine should be given time to mix properly and water should also be adequate to have a thorough mix

v-Application of water resisting materials on the surface of the roof deckis important like bituminous felt etc

vi-The bamboo studs and the carpentary formwork must be done near perfect to forestall defects in the concrete decking.

Hence, these are the basic steps-

-Do your formwork

-Apply the iron rods

-Cast the concrete mix with water resisting cement

-Screed the top of the decking with cement and sand and make it slope downwards to the side of building where it can easily be channeled through drainage pipe to gutter or make it have direct fall to the ground.

Let me step further by looking into advantage and disadvantages of a concrete decking

Advantages

-It last longer than any kind of roof

-It also doubles as a sit out on roof if access is created with staircase to the roof

-It can be designed to accommodate another floor thereby the roof becomes a higher floor and blocks are raised up, but the additional weight must have been factored in the design.

-If it is well done leakages are very unlikely for many years to come

Disadvantages

-Conduct heat to the interior especially at night after long hours of absorbing the scorching sun during the day.

-Maintenance can be problematic if it was not properly done

-You can’t change the roof style easily without serious structural work which you enjoy with other types of roof

-No room for multiple design patterns like other styles of roof, therefore you may not achieve much aesthetically

getting familiar with the importances and application of Hardcore


Question:

Paradox, I have done casting and filling with laterite, do I need to use hardcore again or bricks before german floor. Is thought is just ramming the laterite.

Hardcore application in the building process is also as important as any of the key stages . Hardcore is reffered to as some measures of large aggregates of stones used as part of the foundation in a construction project. To simple put is bigger aggregates of what you call granites on site. Though some uses broken blocks /bricks, these are however not recommended because of their strenght, people only use them to save cement during casting of oversite/german concrete which is not advisable.

Hardcore is applied after you have filled the internal part of your foundation with laterite or sharp sand as the case may be, rammed and ready to apply iron rods/wire mesh and concrete.

IMPORTANCE

-Hardcore strengthens or solidifies the base which the german concrete will sit on, thereby helps in resisting pressure of dead and live loads on the ground floor.

-It gives good base for building

-Is also part of foundation

-it helps to save cost of construction, the volume occupied by the hardcore if it were to be concrete it would have cost more.

-Is a gap between the german floor /oversite concrete and the earth so it helps to reduce movement of water up to the ground floor

-The air in between the hardcore if there is any will also help to reduce movement of water.

- it reduces the time of casting because you are using lesser volume of concrete to when you are casting the entire mass.
