Day four.. Casting of the foundation footings These footings have two type 1. Strip footings 2. Isolated pad footings The strip footings are 675mm (3 times the width of foundation block wall) and 225mm thick. The total perimeter of the foundation is about 200m removing the column bases we leave us with about 145m Volume of strip footings = 145x0.675x 0.225 = 22cubic meters. Using a mix ratio of 1:2:4 by weight, we have about 6.25bags of cement per cubic meters = 6.25x22 =137bags (giving an allowance of 20% for wastage, occasionally wider strip footings) = 1.25x137 = 165bags. For the column base : we have about 36 x1.1x1.1x0.45= 20cubic meters + 2.2x1.1x0.45x2 = 2cubic meters We have a total of 22cubic meters = 165bags of cement. Total calculated value required = 330bags of cement 1 Like 1 Share

completion of casting work... summary of materials used so far (note the client have a relative on ground that supply all the materials we need) as a matter of fact we have many external supervisor coming in to check our job. cement = 235 bags so far ( blinding, isolated footings and combined pad footings) gravel = we cant really tell now sand = will come back with this later. |

laying of foundation column : according to my estimate, we will need about >=2500blocks for this foundation and since one bag of cement will lay between 40 to 50 blocks, we have = 2500/40 or 50 = 63 bags or 50 bags

We are almost through with the block work, there are extension that we have to make. Some group of my workers are already warming up for the sand filling and compaction of the foundation. The client is lucky that we have sand fill already on site from the debris of the demolished house and the existing dpc of the previous house. Filling operation should take two days while compaction will take one day

abdulwastecx: This is over reinforced, No need for top bars when you not going that far into the ground. |
Re: Construction Of Six Bedroom Duplex At Enugu by abdulwastecx(m): 9:08pm On Apr 14, 2016 |
oapeleo: Since you are not the design engineer. .. . I don't think it is over reinforced. Combine footings behave like a continuous beam and during the analysis you have both hogging and sagging moment which translates into a top reinforcement and bottom reinforcement 2 Likes 1 Share |
Re: Construction Of Six Bedroom Duplex At Enugu by abdulwastecx(m): 9:12pm On Apr 14, 2016 |
oapeleo: Going far into ground depend on the location of strata where you have the required Geotechnical properties used for the design (bearing capacity). It has nothing to do with how you reinforced your footings |

podosci: Okay na...we dey wait for the pictures. Apart from the aesthetics, is there any advantage of conduit piping over surface piping for plumbing? |
Re: Construction Of Six Bedroom Duplex At Enugu by Nobody: 7:25pm On Apr 15, 2016 |
Onuokwu: Servicing. Wires can easily be pulled out and replaced when the need arises. |
