Hello house I'm having a little confusion as to mix ratio. in delta state most concrete are mixed at 1 bag of cement 7/8 pans of sand n 7/8 pans of granite. which is a 1:4:4 mix. and it's a norm. someone here once told me a mix shouldn't be more than 1:2:4. which is 1 bag of cement 4 pans of sand n 8pans of granite. is there any reason why the difference?

If u r using 3/4 granite, ratio 1:4:4 is ok but if u r using half inch or any lesser sizes ratio 1:2:4 is ok

My 1:4:4. Means 4 or 5 headpans of sand to 4 headpans of granite if u r using 3/4 granite

Would suggest you go for locally fabricated door considering the import duty on imported doors, most local metal fabricators within your locality can design and construct it.

Well done sir

Aforxzy:
Ratio 1:4:4 isn't okay.

Whatever size/ grade of granite you choose, DOES NOT affect the mix ratio if the right batching method is used.

Different sizes/gradation of granite is considered because of availability, arrangement of the rebars and thickness of the concrete element.

Structurally the least ratio for concrete work should be 1:2:4 unless it's a lean concrete.

When you reduce the granite you reduce the strength.

Good Evening house,

Please I need advise on a construction project. We are planning to erect a foundation for a two storey building on a plot of land which used to house an old building. We have demolished the old house and then noticed that the old soakaway pit is inside the perimeter of the new foundation. In fact a pillar for the new building falls into the old soakway pit location. My engineer says to open the soakaway pit and fill with sand and compact for the next couple of months before the new foundation. My concern is that I have seen foundations settle even after 2 years so I am worried about that possibility. The pit is 8ft by 6ft

Experienced engineers in the house, what are my options to fill the Soakaway pit?

I would appreciate all suggestions.

Very simple... evacuate the soakaway and establish that very columns from soakaway base.. Don't forget to use concrete base for the column
