off course you will thank her for spilling the milk that took her years to learn and cost her parents or whoever trained her in school alot of money. Why can’t an average yahooboy on the street using a lexus answer the same question. The reason why alot of people will remain broke is their inability to leverage their knowledge, they think by talking too much people will appreciate them.

She has more jobs than most people in this forum. Don’t ask me why it is so. And she is not one of those chasing for jobs they can’t do.
Most Nigerians cannot not differentiate between publicly available information and trade secrets. Building set backs are publicly available information. You don’t need an engineering degree to know them.

Lastly , point of correct. She does not talk too much as you said. Go back from page one and check all the shenanigan on this thread, she is not involved in any

It is not just about your house. it could be your neighbor's house and you become victim.

It could be shared public infrastructure.

We need to be more concerned about this

One cannot fake competence for long. Good work would always speak for itself. With experience, you can tell who is what, even in the construction industry like ours. Honestly, when you truly know-how, you derive joy in talking about it.
One of the tenets of most progressive professional bodies is for the members to use their knowledge to enlighten the public for public good.

Therefore, if an engineer shares information for building set backs, he/she is contributing to the safety of all of us.
Everything is not about personal gain and money.

I'm in the process of working with my architect to design a simple 4 bedroom bungalow and I need the inputs of the esteemed members of this community. I want to have an open plan living area that combines the living and dining rooms and the kitchen, and I don't want there to be any pillars. This living area will be 32ft long by 28ft wide

My architect is insisting that there must be at least one row of pillars in the middle as well as along the perimeter walls to make up for the reduced walls. I'm fine with pillars in the perimeter walls since they will be hidden but I don't want any pillars in my living room. So what are the most structurally sound and economical options?

So far we have these choices
1. Use thicker roof joists and have a normal wood frame roof
2. Use concrete beams to span the width of the house and mount a normal wood frame roof
3. Use a steel frame roof

Please can you advise me on the best option and what dimensions to use. Thanks a lot in advance. Below is the sketch I gave my architect

I'm no expert, but I think with regards to cost and safety, the concrete beams should be your best option. The Structural Engineers in the house would advise you better.

There is nothing wrong with any of those designs, as long as you can guarantee steady power supply to run a pressure pump round the clock.

The major problems you'll face are challenges with power and maintenance issues with the pressure pump.

There has to be water in those tanks all the time as well, otherwise you stand the risk of dry running your pressure pump, which may cause damage to the pump easily. This means you'll also need to automate the entire water supply system, by maybe installing a float switch or something to pump water automatically from your borehole to the tanks whenever water level falls below a certain limit.

The three options are viable n good to go just that option 3 might be costlier than the two.
What can also be done is to support option one with H-beams(I section) to span across at critical points lenght n breadth wise and you are good to go
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by Aforxzy(f): 5:42pm On May 14, 2023
For a bungalow, I would suggest option 2, cos using steel to roof a bungalow can be quite expensive but you will still need internal colum(s) to support the beam.

Why not share the architectural plan so we can see how best to break the span and still have your open living/ kitchen space.

Where would the pressure come from? It looks more like a storage tank. From my personal experience, you need a pressurized tank that can deliver the water to the level you need it. The tanks are usually small. It will be filled with water from a water pump. As it goes down, the pump will replenish it. This requires constant electricity.
This is my experience.

I just know you will step in. Going through the drawing by the poster, the warehouse you showcased here sometime ago with similar span came to mind.

Now I hope you're not talking too much.

Well done our one and only female engineer. If I were the poster, I will seek your professional help.
