Labourers here would be quite happy to get 5k plus per day for slab casting...we do N700 per bag of cement and a single labourer hardly does more than 5 bags a day. U guys r enjoying oo, 😲 wow! That means building is very cheap in bayelsa state, am in OGUN STATE, it's a different thing entirely. With less than 30k u can hire labourers to assist mason set 2000 blocks for building?? |

spyder880: You were asking about slab reinforcement and the CC, in a typical slab with projected thickness of 150mm, when you remove the 12mm rods, and the possibility of some lapping in some crossed areas, you will have about 120mm of concrete left, I usually plan to have about 60mm top and 60mm bottom. The bottom part is usually easier, I can use concrete biscuits to prop up the decking mat, but the top CC is trickier as we must navigate to ensure that adequate spread is made so that the CC plan will be achieved.
B/w, 3 inches you mentioned is 75mm, not 60mm. Noted engineer |
Properties › Re: The Making Of The Asaba "Stepped" Block Of 6 Flats Of 2 Bedrooms by Akerewe(m): 4:05pm On Jun 26, 2023 |
spyder880: We have our CC for this slab set at 60mm. The slab is a total of 15mm thickness.
As for reinforcement rods, TMT is very cool, but there are standard gauges from most local companies these days after the FG improved the standard of rods late last year. C/c 60mm (less then 3 inches) as how, what am seeing on this slab is more than 60mm. May b am not getting u right! 150mm thickness is the standard! Pls can u recommend a nice local iron Rod nd it's price for me nd the brand also |

Aforxzy: Did you say 3 inches thickness for your floor? Hope this isn't a suspended floor?
Irrespective of the type of floor, 3 inches is too small for the thickness.
You can use 3/4 inch granite size for floor. Not at all, it's a ground floor not a suspend floor. Thanks for the insight Engineer, 3/4 down I guess? Thanks I will do just that. What is likely to be the mixing ratio with using 3/4 on ground floor? |

BrickDevo: If you see the wood getting bad, you should be wise enough to know that you should not use it, especially when it has been exposed to rain and decaying. Thanks for the swift response, but ur response is a bit harsh. So if the formwork are still strong visibly, one can reuse it like 7 times according to a source? But if the formwork are steel, they can be reuse till when they are not suitable again. |

Aforxzy: The yield strength of steel does not depend on the quantity /numbers of rebars but varies with the type of rebars. For high yield it is between 410-500 N/mm2 while for mild steel is 250N/mm2.
For your columns or other structural members, the quantity and size of rebars are gotten from the designs and calculations of the steel area of that member. Thanks engineer |
