Mr michlins

Please how much would it cost to build an 18 feet tank stand that would carry one big tank at the top and on at the center.

hello house please does anyone have an idea how many blocks would a 10 Tyre tipper of sand be able to mould ?

ANSWER FOUND:

1 trip of the regular 6 Tyre tipper moulds about 11 bags of cement. at 40 units 5" blocks per bag a trip would give u 440 blocks.

thing is that 18ft can not be enough to carry one tank at the top and another in between. You need it to be a bit higher. You can use 4¾" H beam and it should cost you 850k at prevailing market price

Aforxzy:
The ratio of your concrete mix determines the strength, workability and durability of your concrete structure. The strength is gotten from granite , that's why more granite is used in the mix while the binder is the cement.

Often times you see people using less of the granite because they want a fine finish and they end up compromising on the strength. Also site labour reduce the quantity of granite because it makes the mix heavier for them to carry.

So your workmen are invariably reducing the strength of your concrete element with that mix ratio and it has nothing to do with your location.

A finely finished concrete is gotten from properly mixing the components, vibrating to remove voids and using a good formwork and not by reducing the granite quantity.

However the granite should be washed and free from dirts and clay.

It's your project , insist on the right mix and they will comply.



I use this ratio as my minimum ratio and every time I do the workers marvel at how much granite I am using. They complain that they are not used to that much granite being used.

I have used both 1/2-inch granite and 3/4-inch granite.

In fact, I was once called Julius Berger for my insistence on the quality of concrete mix.

Once when someone had cause to break a portion of the concrete the workman shouted, do you want to build an everlasting house? This concrete is too strong!

I wash the granite that I use to create a 4'/6"water barrier, but I have never washed the granite that I use for the concrete mixtures.

Going forward, I will.

I even use reinforcement (TMT) for the concrete floors which the laborers said is a very rare event.

Good morning house..

Can anyone give me an idea of how many bags of cement it would take to cast a 5 inch concrete deck 43 feet by 98 feet.

My engineer is quoting 250 bags and that is scary. I understand it would be not 100% accurate but I just want an idea.

Would appreciate all responses.
