spyder880: Nice work . I have observed that Hardcore is not basically used in foundations, of which is a perequisite. Why is that? |
Re: The Anambra Modern Duplex Construction by spyder880(m): 6:35pm On Nov 13, 2019 |
Umarzy: Hardcore is used only where its necessary. Works like filling stations or areas where heavy use is expected must be planned to have the materials adequate for the job. In residential buildings, the most important thing is adequate compaction to prevent soil compression and sinking in the future. 5 Likes 1 Share |

Re: The Anambra Modern Duplex Construction by spyder880(m): 12:09pm On Nov 17, 2019 |
Umarzy: Due to the elevated nature of this foundation, damp will not be a problem here. We also used sharp filling sand and did a foundation beam. We decided to leave out the membrane. 1 Like |

I didn't see iron rod criss crossing the surface before pouring the concrete mixture. My Engineer laid a thick black nylon on the compacted sand and criss crossed the length and breath of the surface with 12mm iron before pouring the concrete mix. Did he do the right thing as it was very expensive for me. I |
