LeoMax: Its WorldBank loan my brother. Always get facts before giving yourself high BP

alj harem:

No it is not an ecowas project, Please show us a link that it is an ecowas project because I know for a fact that Fashola tried to woe Britain and Eocwas just 2 months ago thus within 2 month how did they get involved

explain thanks

Arosa:

Lol,

Did your structural analysis, take into account the porous nature of Lagos soil,the constant vibration the building will be subjected to because of the daily train traffic and the fact that thousands of people will be going in and out of that building daily?

Arosa:

Wake me up when the building collapses, yawn!

djustice:

The project is funded by the World Bank, The Federal Government of Nigeria, and ECOWAS. Lagos State is just lucky to be in the right position geographically speaking, and Fashola, as is usual with ACN deceivers, is quick to jump in and claim credit for something not a penny of Lagos State funds is entering. Awon ole jati jati.

djustice:

That's one area where I fault the Federal Government on their building designs. They don't seem to acknowledge the fact of disabled people amongst us in their policies. Forget the state governments, like Lagos, especially. Those ones are a lost cause.

Odunet Lbs: So someone who just spent a sememter in college...has discovered a structural flaw undetected by P.E's (Professional Engineers) in charge of d project, just by looking at d picture. It probably because d name of an enigineer has been bastardized in dis part of d world...a technician that fixes phones (not even a technologist) calls himself and engineer. U picture analysis can be compared to a layman saying, why should a plane fly...there are a lot of theories and technicalities to all these things my dear...from Navier-stokes equations for airplane to rankin, von-misses, st venant etc yield criterion for ur structures materials....
And d list goes on...

alpontif:

My broda, God bless you, especially for that ''an enigineer has been bastardized in dis part of d world...a technician that fixes phones (not even a technologist) calls himself an engineer.'' part.....

Arosa:

Are you an engineer, if so have you heard of an arch shape before, why is it that most rail stations have it as part of their design, old or new ones?

Kobojunkie:

Wrong!! He does not have to walk the length of the building to state the opinion that he did there.

I have never seen the leaning tower of pizza in person but looking at that leaning structure, I can tell you that it does not seem structurally sound to me and I probably would not go near it no matter what. Note, I have never walked the length of any of the floors in the building, but I can have that opinion of it.

Folks here are too desperate to find a scapegoat to pin the "PESSIMIST" tag on, that they forget even they think these thoughts from time to time, may not in this particular case.

Arosa:

alpontif:

Please stop making a fool of yourself.

Arosa:

Brilliant answer, It was expected.

The arch is significant because, in theory at least, it provides a structure which eliminates tensile stresses in spanning a great amount of open space. All the forces are resolved into compressive stresses. This is useful because several of the available building materials such as stone, cast iron and concrete can strongly resist compression but are very weak when tension, shear or torsional stress is applied to them. By using the arch configuration, significant spans can be achieved. This is because all the compressive forces hold it together in a state of equilibrium. This even applies to frictionless surfaces. However, one downside is that an arch pushes outward at the base, and this needs to be restrained in some way, either with heavy sides and friction or angled cuts into bedrock or similar.
This same principle holds when the force acting on the arch is not vertical such as in spanning a doorway, but horizontal, such as in arched retaining walls or dams.
Even when using concrete, where the structure may be monolithic, the principle of the arch is used so as to benefit from the concrete's strength in resisting compressive stress. Where any other form of stress is raised, it has to be resisted by carefully placed reinforcement rods or fibres.

all4naija: You are the one with no fact to get straight. Is there any where I said Aesthetic of the building has anything to do with the structural soundness? Dude, of a truth you lack comprehend. I only state my point while agreeing with the guy who I quoted in my comment.

The building is very ugly, that is a fact!

Arosa: I don't like the design, it doesn't look structurally sound.

all4naija: Me too! Very third-worldish! Like a hat! Chinese without sense of aesthetic designs!

Pukkah:

The aesthetic of a building has little or nothing to do with its structural soundness. Get your facts right.

Arosa: The aqueduct the pizza tower and all over monumental European structures were built to last a thousand years or more, thanks to the arch shaped "aesthetic" implemented in their design.
