Drbarmes: Mr builder I am not stopping you from supervising building project. Your claim of better understanding of cost is funny and laughable. You don't understand plinth beam, you have little to nothing idea about structural design. Come back again with more detail 1 Like |

Drbarmes:read your post veryyyyy slowwwlly... And if you see nothing wrong in your public display of ignorance with the nuisance you just posted then i would advice you to stop designing buildings. I want to assume all your knowledge of structural design and analysis is from "Structural design by Oyenuga", so as a good person i would advice you to refere to literatures written by TH megson, Mosley and Bunley, Barry and other revered authors before you end up killing people with your ignorance. Thank you. 4 Likes 2 Shares |

Stage 2: excavation work Before we go into excavation, I will like to explain our foundation type for this building. We are going to be using pad footings to carry all the structural columns what strip footings carrying the foundation wall and ground floor walls. The size of the footings are as follows Pad type one = 1200mm x 1200mm Pad type two = 1500 x 1500mm Pad type three = 1800 x 1200mm Thickness of pad = 350mm Pad reinforcement : using Y12 mm bar spaced @200mm center to center Can you explain why you chose this type of foundation? it depends on the bearing capacity of the soil....now you situation of shallow foundation like the one in the pics so a strip foundation is allowed,this act as a long strip that supports the weight of an entire wall. These are used where the building loads are carried by entire walls. deep foundation:like pile foundation,When there is a layer of weak soil at the surface. This layer cannot support the weight of the building, so the loads of the building have to bypass this layer and be transferred to the layer of stronger soil or rock that is below the weak layer.When a building has very heavy, concentrated loads, such as in a high rise structure |

Drbarmes: Thank you sir for input. We are merely interpreting what the designing engineer has done. The architectural a d structural design were carried out by different consultancy film. All the above mentioned factors were considered by the designer before the final structural member drawings and working drawings were made. Thank you sir |
Re: How We Build Duplexes In Nigeria by abdulwastecx(m): 7:16pm On Aug 06, 2016 |
gotformation: You are right sir. In building construction we have two major type of foundation base on depth, such as deep foundation and shallow foundation. A shallow foundation is a foundation whose depth is smaller than the width. Example of such foundation includes the following 1. Strip footing 2. Wide strip footing 3. Isolated pad footings 4. Combine pad footings 5. Continuous pad footings 6. Cantilever pad footings 7. Mat or Raft foundation. Dear foundation are those foundation whose depth are considebly higher than the width and these foundations are used when the soil property that can sufficiently carry the building are located deal down at a greater distance from the natural ground level. Example of deep foundation include. Pier and beam foundation Pile foundation For this project, the design engineer employ a combination of isolated pad footings, combine pad footings and a strip footing. The isolated pad footings were used to carry point load coming from the column. The combine footings were used to carry point load coming from two columns that are two close to each other, where individual isolated pad will overlap. The strip footing was used to carry the foundation wall despite the fact that the walls are load bearer, we still need a foundation to carry them. I will show some sketch for better understanding. 1 Like 1 Share |

Drbarmes: There are three steps involved in the structural Design of a Building. - Load estimation - Structural analysis - Structural Design The Load estimation is very important because a mistake in load estimation can lead to collapse. The image below represents a typical floor plan and From section X-X, we can clearly see the the load from a block work being carried by the beam.Due to the monolithic Slab and beam construction carried out in Nigeria its easy for laymen to mistake loading of a beam with sancrete blocks to loading on a slab but structural analysis reveals the actual loading configuration as indicated in section Y-Y. The load of a typical 3m high wall of 0.225m thickness is estimated to be about 3.47kn/m There are cases were the slab is laoded with partition walls as can be seen in Panel 3, such cases occur in Nigerian buildings in toilet areas or Balconies or office complex. In load estimation, - For lightweight partition walls mostly found in office complex( wooden or Pvc partition walls), the BS code and EN codes specify a load of 0.5-1.5kn/m2 depending if the partition wall is a dead load or a life load( movable partition wall) -for heavy blockwalls the loads with magnitudes ranging from 2.7-5.8kn/m(load varies based on material and thickness) are applied either as area loads or line loads. The analysis of this loads depend on the location of the load on the slab, the perpendicularity of the load to the slab. -For 2way slabs, estimation of the blockwall loads are far more complicated but would be explained at a later time. With this, i hope i have been of assistance in explaining the loading configuration of Buildings to you. Thank you 1 Like 1 Share

Drbarmes: mr man... do u av something to tell this duo? you av been attacking them personally... why? if u feel u know more, why don't u open a thread? And who told u the only load on a beam is slab load? seriously? What happened to wall loads? Sit down & learn & stop derailing thread with useless questions... biko 3 Likes |

Drbarmes: Mr builder take a deep breath and go through what you just post. I nearly missed this, it is very dangerous to act like you know something you lack complete knowledge of. I will summary load estimation carried by a beam in a simple one storey building in Nigeria with the following sketches. Sketch 1. An assumed floor plan of a simple three panel slab building with dimensions of 6m x 4m each. At this point I will assume that you have a good idea of slab design. Sketch 2 Show section x - x taking across the three slab, showing a middle beam on a suspended reinforced concrete slab carrying a uniformly a wall it's self weight, adjoining slab loads and wall load. Sketch 3. Showing an enlarged call out showing the section of middle tee flanged beam (I assume you know what a tee beam is) Sketch 4 Showing all the three ways load can be transmitted to floor beams. 3 Likes 2 Shares

Foundation type: isolated pad footings and grade beam. The isolated pad footings have the following properties. Depth of footings = minimum of 1200mm Width of foot = minimum of 1200mm Isolated pad base reinforcement = 12mm high yield bar. Spacing of isolated pad base = 200mm c/c. Starter columns : Columns height = 2.4m Reinforcement type = 16mm high yield bar Size of column section = 450 x 225mm Number of main bar in column = 6 Y16 Links size = 8mm high yield Spacing of links = 200mm center to centers The choice of foundation was influenced by the following. 1. The land use relatively flat. 2. The soil is relatively firm clay. 3. The building floor loading intensity is relatively light. 4. The work is an extension where digging of strip will not be too good for the structural integrity of the existing building. 2 Likes 2 Shares |

Looking closely at our reinforcement, it will seen that they are cut to sizes, bend in accordance to standard bending practice of bs codes. Detailed analysis of the pad base: The pad bases are made up of Y12 with bent up hook of 300mm by the side. The spacing of the bars are 200mm (8'') Detailed analysis of the starter column/foundation columns The columns have size number of Y16 each The rinks are 8mm and spaced @ 200mm c/c. The hook below the foundation column is 500mm Note : hook below column help to transfer the load from the columns to the pad bases. Some contractores/builders/engineers erroneously make this hook too small and hence unable to transfer load better. Take a closer look at these columns below 1 Like 2 Shares

EngrOsas:The Designer was contracted by the client, We collected the strucutral drawings from the client and build. But on your claims of double reinforcement at the base/foundation of a stair, can you please expantiate with extracts from literatures written by known authors, many literatures validate the designer but i wont mind hearing your own claims. 1 Like |

EngrOsas: You are wrong!!! That is how you reinforced starter bar of the following stair. 1. Straight flight stair 2. Dog leg stair 3. Open well stair. These type of Stair behaves like an encasted beam at supports which may be from dpc to landing or one landing to suspended slab. These behavior necessitate for the introduction of a top reinforcement at the support. The reinforcement you saw above is the top reinforcement at the starter. The bottom reinforcement of the stair will come in after the construction of the stair formwork. The confusion people make is how where will the top reinforcement terminate and where will the bottom reinforcement begins. The top reinforcement terminates at a point with zero bending moment also known as point of contracflexure. Note: the iron bender made a simple mistake that will be corrected when we are continuing the stair reinforcement. He positioned the distribution bar on top of the main bar for the top reinforcement, this will reduce the effective depth of the top reinforcement. I let it slide because it is a simple mistake that will be corrected as we continue the stair reinforcement. The following pictures will help me throw more light on my explanation. Picture one is the bending pattern of such stair. Picture two is a detailed reinforcement of starter bar for stair 2 Likes 2 Shares
