Placement of column starters rebars

It is possible to have such design without any fear of collapse, if it is properly designed by a structural engineer and also constructed as designed cos the weight of the roof members: trusses and covering would have been taken into consideration during the design stage.

For such cantilever beams, the size and position/placement of the reinforcement bar is very important in order to adequately support the load it would be subjected to without any deflection or failure.

If your engineer has done the right thing then there is nothing to be worried about.

Hello guys.
I am about to do the roofing in this house but I’m scared if the front won’t collapse after sometime owing to the fact that there is no supporting pillars and with the weight of the wood work and the Gerald roof resting on it. He assured me he used enough 16mm rods with good reinforcement. What do you guys think?

Good morning all.
Enjoy your day

michlins:
what's the gauge of metal sheet you're using. Nothing less than 12mm right?

Yes.

michlins:
for oil storage?

Circular above ground tanks.

what type of tank is supposed to be situated here

Ring beams for large storage tanks

I do not support additional floor(s) during construction stage without structural redesign and checks to confirm the suitability of the members.
However since this floor is to support the solar panels only , you don’t need 20mm bars for the columns, instead use 16mm as your second to roof level columns reinforcements and also ensure that you stiffen the panels with reinforced concrete beams.

Let your structural engineer design the roof slab and beam, the thickness of your slab should be at least 150mm (6inches) or as designed by the engineer.

Chichilas:
Good afternoon everyone.

I would like to seek opinions from esteemed members and building experts here.

I am currently building a 2 storey(3 floor) house with about 40 pillars: The structural design stated 16mm rods for pillar reinforcement and we are adhering to it.

However, I have decided to change the roof design from an aluminum roof to a concrete slab(deck) roof for asthetics purposes and most importantly because I want to fill the entire roof with solar panels and we want to be able to move around it easily and clean them regularly.


Now my question is, do I need to add extra reinforcements for the structure to be able to take the roof slab? My structural engineer says a 4 inch roof slab will suffice and I do not need to add extra reinforcements. I am wondering if we should have just used 20mm rods for the pillars from the beginning.

Does anyone have an idea if the 16mm pillars will suffice to carry the additional load?

I appreciate and anticipate all responses.

This concrete wall has failed, i suggest you break it off and do a new one well reinforced, with adequate thickness and good mix ratio.

Hello people, please I need your honest advice on how to remedy this sockaway project. The person is trying to build a precast sockaway because the soil is sandy. However, while trying to dig the ground so the precast sinks down, it cracked and why trying to figure that out, the side starts to compress.

I will be in the comment section to read your honest advice. Many thanks great minds.

Do a soil test to confirm the nature of your subsoil and also know the appropriate foundation type. However, the final height of your foundation should be determined by the road level to avoid flood of your

Guys I need your help, my engineer is telling me that my foundation will be this tall due to swampy area, I am scared of the amount I will spend, any suggestions please

When it's your time to shine, nothing can stop it. Enjoy madam..God gat you.

This is a good one..

Yes, I am based in Lagos.

Waiting to hear from you.
Thanks
