Continue smiling, Dont worry very soon we shall hear you wailing, cursing those you collected money to sell your vote

soulpeppersoup:
When Nigerians who live in a place like Germany read your post they will weep. One just told me that Lagos is a village.

kennygee:
They dropped the more expensive ones for the less expensive ones.

Scales' real name tho, I hail Plateau state people o.

Lalasticlala over to you.

When we keep saying that there's so much injustice in this country they say we are wailing.

Thank you Channels TV, figures don't lie.

Everyone can see that allocation to the SS where bulk of the nations revenue comes from is less than the 97% regions.

This is what Buhari has turned Nigeria into.

For those against Biafra or Niger Delta Republic you can see that Buhari has already divided this country into 97% & 5%.

I really pity the Niger Delta people, they have been so cheated in this country.

Crocodile don dey chop crocodile

Useless actions from both sides

Wow!

If God decides to punish us for our wastages, we won't survive it

cktheluckyman:
Empty brain woman. You obviously lacks what it takes to oversee Nigeria's economy

Irony of life...

Don Moen might not even know who he is...

How do you know the soil will undergo unifrom settlement? No where did we post the bearing capacity or settlement rate of the soil, so i am confused as to how you are able to make deductions from mere looking at the soil from a picture?
Back to your comment.
You are used to the wrong methods of building construction due to a lack of understand of building elements and the structural implications of building elements. You are confussing a splinth beam from a grade beam and interchanging there functions.
Can u justify the use of plinth beam in this particular project?
I have posted some literatures above, refere to them and get back to me.
Thank you

abdulwastecx:
Mr builder I am not stopping you from supervising building project. Your claim of better understanding of cost is funny and laughable.

You don't understand plinth beam, you have little to nothing idea about structural design. Come back again with more detail

podosci:
read your post veryyyyy slowwwlly... And if you see nothing wrong in your public display of ignorance with the nuisance you just posted then i would advice you to stop designing buildings.
I want to assume all your knowledge of structural design and analysis is from "Structural design by Oyenuga", so as a good person i would advice you to refere to literatures written by TH megson, Mosley and Bunley, Barry and other revered authors before you end up killing people with your ignorance.
Thank you.

podosci:
The blockwork is not loaded on the slab, Its loaded on the beam. Its only in cases where there is no underlying beam or load bearing walls that the load is directly on the slab(Thats another discussion entirely)
One of the pillers of Structural Engineering is Economy, Thats whats guides during our structural dedign in placement of pillers and selection of sizes of structural members.
The best Economic way of reducing load and cost is to carry out a proper structural design by a competent Structural Engineer.

abdulwastecx:
Your constructive criticism is welcomed .
When you have isolated pad footings of 1.2m x 1.2m, you don't need to place a form inside the foundation to demarcate the casting all you need to do is pecked the casting up to the required depth and in this case 350mm.

How do I know that the footing is 1.2m x 1.2m?
The basket is 110mm allowing for cover of 50mm both side.

What is plinth beam to begin with?
Plinth beam is an horizontal reinforced concrete member that is constructed on GROUND OR ABOVE GROUND LEVEL.

Go Google plinth beam and come back with more positive criticism.

By the way, I am a first class civil engineering graduate from a reputable University of technology. I know both structural analysis and design very well.
