There's nothing wrong in this if the man is disciplined, caring and hardworking. But to submit your salary to a lazy man that bets, drinks and womanizes is like throwing your money into the River.

Did u just say "unfortunately it was a baby girl " Gosh.
And you want to claim the said baby girl?

You don't deserve that child sir.



To cut the long story short, she gave birth in September, but unfortunately it was a baby girl she born. The day she born, the next day she called me and informed me about the baby, which she even snapped the baby and sent it to me on Whatsapp.

PropertiesRe: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by Aforxzy(f):
Beams should not be concealed in a flat slab. Flat slabs are beamless. It's wrong if done. Ribbed slab yes in the ribs with considerable depth e.g the hollow pot type.

I'm a structural engineer.

uwemjack:
The beams are concealed in flat and ribbed floor, column point load is transferred through the beam.
Are you a structural engineer?
PropertiesRe: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by Aforxzy(f): 5:20am On Nov 25, 2021
Of course flat ( just like ribbed, waffle or solid ) slabs are structurally designed element. They however do not have any beam at all stiffening the panels.
They are designed to be supported by the columns and their column heads are enlarged and designed in such a way that there is no shearing between them because of the absence of beams.





uwemjack:
Are you saying that flat slabs is not a structurally designed element?

'Hidden beams' in this context are small beams usually having the same depth as the solid slab. The term hidden [/b]is used because the beam is [b]concealed in the reinforced concrete solid slab.

The beam you described is the downstand beam placed on the sandcrete blocks. This is usually 450mm deep or more unlike the hidden 150mm beam.
Its deeper than the slab hence not hidden .





diordaves:
I'm sorry, I still don't understand.

First off; I don't know why it is called "hidden". It is not hidden. It is a beam. As I understand as experienced with my builds, you beam with the beams supported by the blocks and columns and then you pour your slab (decking) with your slab supported on the beams. Are you saying this is a wrong practice? Please educate more. Are we to pour the slab directly on top of the block work? Or do you mean something else?
PropertiesRe: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by Aforxzy(f):
The effectiveness of a beam is the function of its span and depth. This means that the longer the span, the deeper the depth.

A beam whether rectangular or flange needs adequate depth against deflection. When you put a hidden beam in a slab of say 150mm thick, the beam does not have enough depth and will deflect. Also the reinforcements required for such beam if design will be much as againt those provided by the iron bender.
So invariably the hidden beam does not prevent deflection of the slab.

The right thing is to reduce the spacing of the reinforcement or increase depth of the slab.

EgunMogaji2:
If you have time can you educate us in more detail? Thanks.
PropertiesRe: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by Aforxzy(f):
I was on a site yesterday to resolve a structural issue and the iron bender suggested putting a hidden beam on the slab. This I have noticed on alot of sites even some owners do it.

I told him no and he said he knew I won't accept he goes along with it.

The issues of hidden beam on a slab is a wrong practice and is fast becoming a norm. It makes no sense and has no technical or structural backing.

Structural failures are always very fatal hence the need to do the right thing always.


The preliminary investigation also revealed some evidence of structural inadequacy in the construction and that signs of some structural distress had already started to show within certain elements of the building.

FamilyRe: Single And Be Having Children Outside Wedlock by Aforxzy(f):
This lifestyle is not the best.

Marriage is indeed not for everyone but a child deserves the love, care , nuture and training from both parents. No matter how we like to twist it, children from broken homes or from single parents are the worst hit by this trend. Their silent wishes and prayers is to have both parents reconcile and live together as a family.

I can't imagine being separated from my kids, how much more another person taking up my role in their lives.
FamilyRe: Multiple Men Gather At Radio Station To Accuse Popular Pastor Of "Snatching" by Aforxzy(f):
This is what happens when women are always quick to go to their pastors instead of going on their knees in prayer. They are cajoled and brain washed into believing whatever their so called pastors tell them. While the pastors use their vulnerability to win them over.

I feel sorry for the children that were taken and abused ..some of them will be used as sex slaves and forced into early marriages..

The government should come to the aid of these children.
