Aventures:
[Good day, I see we are talking about columns only what about the foundation mat. By Rule of thumb 4 nos of 16mm is required for a starter bars but don't be surprised a proper design may show you that some columns can use 12mm sufficiently. What I see here is that there is no prior structural design in this project you are building on what people say and do within that vicinity. My piece of advice pause the project engage a good structural engineer and use the out put of the design for corrections. And ensure you go for TMT Brand of reinforcement at the least.quote author=Akerewe post=114625232]

D total structure is length is 30 by 50 and the there are 16 (sixteen) columns in total. The space in between them are likely to be 10 feet maximum to the next column. As for the numbers of floors, it's just a storey building.
Currently, we did 5feets for the foundation and the total foundation casted is 3feet while the remaining 2feets are visible above the foundation for continuation. The sizes between rebars should be close to 12inch nd I was told to return it to 250mm henceforth. The column itself are all 9" inches wide.

Image attached below.

Thanks in anticipation of ur response


Ok thanks, I will do the needful

building collapse depends or results from some other factors sir not just steel size. The construction can still continue, there are ways around it.

There is no such thing.... it depends on what individuals wants. We all have different taste.

Structural elements can be normalized, but not aesthetics. That is a very subjective matter. One man's meat, another's poison... grin

Hello house,I've been a silent member on this forum and I need help on a 4 bedroom Bungalow with security house wiring.

My electrician gave a quotation for the cables and I feel like this list is too much with labour's work.

I don't want to buy what will be a waste and am worried about the 16mm red coils as well because I already gotten black 16mm,like is the 16mm red coil necessary?

I'll be grateful for y'all contributions.

Thanks.

well I could have said or make some recommendations but I have no knowledge of the soil test reports I even doubt a soil test was carried out. So for that I will have to agree with you then. These clients should stop putting lives at risk, stop allowing ignorant secondary school dropout contractors into misleading them. I remember seeing a video on tiktok where a full completed structure has to be brought done because they allowed themselves to be mislead by a quack.

Beyond building collapse, the building may start failing serviceability. Where by you columns start bulging and cracks and at that time correction would be so expensive. Let's build beyond avoiding collapse only lets build to last an appreciably. Building should be an investment and not liability. Many are building today thinking they are investigating but it may eventually turn to liability when the building start generating issues and it keeps collecting all funds generated for repairs.
To my amazement 2 yrs ago I converted a duplex to a storey building of 3 bedrooms flats believe me the quality of work done about 30yrs ago was top quality and comfortably we did the restructuring and the owner is cashing out big time.

i agree. it begins with the client. a client that evades the planning stage and even question quality materials because he wants to save cost should expect a building catastrophe.

Yes chief, client determines how a project goes. Moreso most client don't like investing in planning, meanwhile planning is like a 40% of a successful project.
Client wants drawings ready in one week, no reviews , no criticism, no future plan for restructuring, no economy evaluation of the proposed design.

Please always engage your design team for proper evaluation, have full understanding of what you are about to build if possible secretly engage another experience designer to help evaluate. Distance shouldn't be a barrier. Thanks to zoom and other bussiness tools for online meeting.
Also please always engage qualified team. Allow reasonable time for planning.

A week? Most clients wants drawings ready the same day, they have the notion that drawings are too easy to produce that it should not take any time at all hence the reason many don't want to pay for it but only a few understand it's value. Without planning a project is failed already. Thanks to technology an architect can work anywhere in the world and still deliver the same quality even more efficiently infact it has become very easy as compared to before. I haven't been to ibadan but I'm actively involved in a project there now and it's already at the roof stage. Well Educated clients are always ready to engage professionals but those client that made money by hook or crook will not take your advice until the worse happens.

The way you guys soak yourself in this pop mixture, please try to be safety conscious. Apart from cancer, there are so many other diseases that could result from inhaling fine particles. COPD , Asthma, Bronchitis are some of them.

Note, I am not saying that POP is carcinogen .
