Arinze86: Thank you for your kind advice, but if you take a good look at the soil, is not a stratum. I mean the capacity is good but has water underneath. However I considered the soil subsurface layer and it's bearing capacity; the cast reinforcement which is up to 400 centimeters thickness was done with regards to that effect . Its a strap footing foundation. Thank you. 1 Like

Well done. Are there any picture updates on the progress so far? Did you engage a Structural Engineer at any stage of the building work? |

innovestor: Thank you sir, we call it brace panel stud in foundation. what it does is reinforcement kind of, chained together , if such measures are ignored it can crack up or colapes the foundation and the building sinks. |

mixratio: the dpc used in this project is a sizeable loomp stone. I also made a very high foundation as one of the best ways to control damp. No DPM applied because I am very okay with the DPC measure. Thanks |

power900: Thank you for that good thought. Well if you take a good look at the soil layers you will notice that the more it goes down the stronger it becomes irrespective of the water in the ground, now we had a pre-cast of about 6" to 8" before placing the bar mat (baskets)two baskets per pillar, one as a bed and the other a as a carrier after which we cast AGAIN up to 1ft 6" and got the same level in all the strips. the initial depth of the footing was 1.4m but after the cast work we had about 0.63m or lesser than that so the blocks in the foundation will definitely look shallow but we all knows that block is brace stud in foundations and for demarcation after dpc. pillars are the load bearers. After which we have to chain the entire foundation up here with 16mm bars right round and intermediately too, Nevertheless, the foundation and the work we have done here is very Good and will stand the test of time sir. Thank you sir

iamademola: No aquifer can be as shallow as that, any ways we seal off the hole with concrete cast and filling so they stopped. |

olumide4christ: Thanks so much. i understand your explanation and the risk perfectly well. I am only trying to see areas where "traditional works" are given reasons and where those reasons do not suffice, should be done away with to reduce the cost of building. However, can there possibly any cheaper alternatives to this such are making absolutely sure that there is proper compaction of the sand:stone mix used prior to casting the DPC? |

noble71: .....Thank you for that good idea. Well Co-Engr. if you take a good look at the soil layers you will notice that the more it goes deep the stronger it becomes, Which shows that is not a stratum Or a re-filled soil. so I decided to go on with strap but in a reinforced aggregate, now we had a pre-cast of about 6" to 8" (dry mixture all through) before the installation of the baskets, two baskets per pillar for the 46pillars, one as a bed and the other a as a carrier after which we cast up to 1ft 6" over the pillars and got the same level in all the straps, that is strap reinforcement as it implies which claimed up to 385 bags of ibeto cement. the initial depth of the footing was 1400m but after the cast work we had about 600m or less than that which I know is better than raft in this context, that is the reason why the blocks in the foundation looks shallow but blocks we know is brace stud in foundations and just a demarcation after dpc. pillars are the load bearers. After which we have to chain the entire foundation up here with 16mm right round and intermediately. Am not the type of Engineer that will jump into raft because of fear or because people raft their foundation, I think I should be able to first of all find out the kind of soup (challenge) available, only then will I be able to know the kind of Swallow (solution) that will go with it. Weather pounded yam or Fufu. Yes because it has become a tradition In construction that the measurement are 2 or 4 head pans higher or lesser than each other when it comes to sand and stone etc. but I disagree with that. when you inspect (examine) the work, you as a professional will know The best Approach that is going to suit it. Its very simple. I Am not traditional Engineer but a construction Engineer. Thanks 4 Likes |

mixratio: Loomps as my tiper Drivers call it, is a sizable stone that is used for dpc before the dpc concrete cast. It also serves as a reinforcement. It should be "rump stone" anyway. 1 Like
