Elipsis: Cement house like the type we have in Nigeria cannot stand land slide!! Landslide is like moving horizontal earthquake(lateral ripping of the earth) ..how deep your foundation is or type of building material used is irrelevant.. Besides in the western world their buildings substructure(DPC level to foundation) is made up of primarily concrete..the superstructure(upper part of the building) is most times wood except in a few cases where they used concrete blocks. Also the natural disasters faced by the western world, hurricane tornadoes..you think if Nigerian houses face it..it won't be ripped apart..you must be joking..We are lucky in Nigeria that those type of natural disaster is not prevalent..just flooding which still comes with devastating effects.. |

Very scary. But what’s the cause of landslide sef |
Re: Huge Landslide In Norway Washes Houses Into Sea (Photos) by Sunky200: 2:08pm On Jun 05, 2020 |
Elipsis: reasons are: 1. cement building causes permanent damage to the site 2. ease and reduced cost of removal in case of big development in the future and lots more |

Elipsis:Yes, it can work in Nigeria. The wood are treated and the house can stand for decades as long as it is maintained. Our weather as mentioned in my earlier comment will affect the house so much as our maintenance culture. So the house will last as long as it is maintained. Another factor if there is fire and no water, the house will burn down completely and fast. That can be prevented if everyone has some fire extinguisher at home or install auto sprinkler when there is fire. Elipsis:if you start reinforcing the wooden structure with iron bars then the cost may go up as much as concrete... I think the main thing stopping this will be security. Someone mentioned that their house was broken into (literally) recently. Another (maybe main) factor is also cultural, our fore fathers have preferred building with clay and concrete rather than woods. Maybe its due to their inability to shape the (tree) woods or they think its not safe. Summarily, I agree with you, we should explore this path as a way of boosting housing shortage in the country. |

Countries like Norway only face natural disasters like earthquake, typhoon, landslides, etc. Nothing like inequalities, economic problems or political unrest. |
