Please, find attached pictures of frame structure construction of Duplex and attached flats during Foundation work. The type of foundation used is called Raft foundation which is suitable in a water lounge area depending on the numbers of storey of the building.

Your multiple thread on the same topic will confuse people posting and reading... disable/delete one of them... Just an advise though. Thanks.

Did you do a soil test before reaching this conclusion of using a raft foundation? My kno ledge of isheri north is that load bearing capacity o FFC soil is poor and if you had submitted a building plan for approval in this area they would have asked for a soil test report.

OP please find another name for the foundation you are constructing. this is not a raft foundation. mere fact that you have a ground beam here does not make this a raft fdn. A raft foundation is type where you have your ground slab and the beam reinforced and in monolithic condition. This type of foundation is absolutely good for bungalow only in a water logged area where you there is tendency for the use of blocks at fdn may be weaken by the water. Well i believe you are acting based on your structural engr design but honestly absolutely wrong, if i have to explain this then i will have to write an epistle, but kindly check previous thread of segcymoore, kkonsult, brabus and other to see what is called raft foundation.

Thats how bad stories start. @PeoplesArmy has asked if there is a soil test report that should be the basis for any building structural design in that Isheri north area and he has not answered. Many houses in that area are tilted to one side or the other due to "settling" and the flooding in some parts can be terrible when it rains. Its better to loose a N100 than a N1000.

Pls, help me with the name of that type of foundation beside is there any Raft foundation without ground beam and your so call Raft foundation described is called Cellular Raft.
However, if a plot of land or more in dat area have low soil bearing capacity doesn't mean every other places there will and for your information some part of Isheri North GRA are normal stable land.

At the bolded is the whole idea of raft foundation.
Though, Raft may be a an inverted flat slab, waffle or rib slab, slab with thickened end, slab with downstand or up stand beam, cellulose raft ( where depth of excavation is use to neutralized the building load. Etc.

All the raft built here don't have monolithic beam slab construction including the one use by you and the builders you mentioned above, but that doesn't render the raft useless or unsafe to carry the intended load provided that proper sand replacement, compaction of the filled materials and good type of filled materials are used.
