PropertiesRe: Pls What Is The Minimum Height Of Oversite Concrete(german Floor)? by bodejohn(m): 11:23am On May 31, 2017
templeinyou:
Is it that without german floor a storey building cannot be ercected ?
It can...but strongly not advisable or recommended...
Remember that apart from the numerous benefits of a German floor to the building, you will require a strong and level ground support for the suspended floor. You don't want to have an undulating "decking" because a part of the ground floor sank due to the weight of the suspended floor.

I found this disturbing! why? Oversite concrete not only good for damp proofing but also for preventing floor punching. That's why oversite concrete thickness defers based on the live load coming on top.



It's not necessary to add oversite concrete weight to the structure, it can be separated.



This is where you mixed them together, Oversite concrete and DPC are different though oversite concrete can be used as a DPC material.



You're partially correct but about the thickness it depends on the load, imaging a floor for heavy duty machine or banking hall. The thickness and preparation must be different.
I didn't mix this up, I am saying concrete or mortar can be used as DPC. And if this is what the OP was trying to do, he can achieve this with a 3 to inch thick slab. I didn't imagine the OP was planning to install heavy duty machinery in a two bedroom bungalow.

felzylix:
please do not miss inform the public if you are not sure of what you saying, Concrete slab and not DPC is a structural member of the foundation, it bears the load to be transmitted to the foundation thus requires rigidity, DPC Damp proof Course is just a thin membrane of polymer laid beneath the courses of the wall to prevent moisture from percolating through the wall leading to dampness, unlike DPM damp proof membrane which is a thin membrane of polymer laid over thr entire area of the foundation before casting the oversite concrete. oversite concrete in some cases are not even sufficient to prevent ground water from percolating.
I am not misinforming the public, I only expressed my opinion which I am sure of. You are however free to disagree with superior argument not just conjectures.

I still insist that mortar is one of the materials used in damp proofing.
PropertiesRe: Pls What Is The Minimum Height Of Oversite Concrete(german Floor)? by bodejohn(m): 6:32pm On May 30, 2017
In my opinion...the slab only does one job...damp proofing, I pressume that's why it's called the damp proof course.

It adds to the dead load on the house but does nothing directly to improve the strength of the building.

From my little research, the are many types of materials used in the dpc, we have only adopted the concrete slab here as the method used in most cases.

The dpc majorly prevents upward movement of damp or moisture and seals the inside of the house from ants and some nasty rodents. A three or four inch thick of concrete slab should suffice.

SportsRe: Isn't The Nigerian League Just Rubbish? by bodejohn(m): 2:12pm On May 29, 2017
I don't know when away wins became the sign that the league is good...

Like the reply just above, there were 3 away wins and 2 draws on match day 20, I guess the OP does not even follow the league he is complaining about.

The teams in the NFPL have very little in between them...most are supported or financed solely by state governments who are even struggling to pay workers salaries.

There are just one or two money bags supporting local clubs and their results are becoming obvious, with time and more local support, our league will compete with other leagues around the world.

I think you need to factor losses into your calculations as I have not seen any energy conversion system that is perfect or near perfect.
You also need to consider redundancy since you will not have 7hrs sunshine everyday all year round.

I have interacted with some youths of this country who have vowed never to vote in any election, I suppose those ones can only get to power through a military coup.

We will rather fight and abuse each other because of the stipends that we have been promised that rise and contest for the leadership positions that we crave for.
