Properties › Re: Is It A Bad Practice To Fill The Holes In Foundation Block-Works With Laterite? by EmptyGarden(m): 12:34pm On Sep 04, 2021 |
saferoom: The best practice is to fill the Blocks in the foundation with weak concrete (or normal concrete if you can afford it). The reason for filling blocks with concrete is obvious: To make the blocks stronger as if they are concrete blocks. There is what is called EARTH PRESSURE acting on the blocks which makes the blockwork act as if they are Retaining Walls. So leaving them Hollow like that is not the best however since to avoid the cost of filling them with concrete, they just assign a labourer to block the holes before putting the chain beam to connect all the columns (pillars)
Then coming to the question of filling the blocks with laterite (filling sand), is not a common practice thought some people do it. It is not advisable to have earth on both sides of the block and also inside the blocks. The soil inside the holes of the blocks doesnt offer added strength like concrete will do, so it becomes an added load on the blocks. It is like a pregnant woman. The baby inside her is an added load. Whatever doesnt make you stronger makes you weaker. It's a universal principle.
If you have added questions you can ask on this thread on Nairaland https://www.nairaland.com/2406381/ask-all-questions-building-foundations My brother you learn work well. |

FalseProphet1: What you see isn't your grandmother, it's a demon using her face to deceive you. The objective of this demon is to supervise a spiritual exchange, they would take your labour spiritually and replace it with their spiritual money.
The implications is that in reality, you'll be suffering miserably, things will be hard, I'll recommend you go for deliverance...foundational deliverance to break demonic soul ties, and she will stop appearing to you.
Send me a pm for more clarification.
