You can build with polystyrene, replacing the common block with the material. BUT it's more expensive than block, people who use it do so for its other properties eg sound, light weight, ease and neatness, not because it's cheaper.. It isn't.

But when used for ribbed slabs, is it cheaper ?

Hello Engrs

I have a proposed building with a span of about 50m, a terrace building containing six units of flats. The proposed foundation system is raft beam with wide strip. What is the best way to introduce an expansion joint in the structure ?

Hajivince:
While decking works was ongoing, We tried to make sure that the level were accurate... We don't joke with precision...

Hello Engr,

The expansion joint at this section of the building, does it extend all the way down to the foundation, like are there two separate ground beams carrying those two walls or does the joint terminate on the slab ?

I would appreciate your warm response.

Mbappe is a baby fool.. that was the mistake Neymar did and he regretted his action.. even Ronaldo will be happy to play alongside with the goat ..

Nobody should begged that overhyped immature player that cost France the euro Cup..

Even Ronaldo would want to play along Ronaldo... Why the tautology ?

MERCHANDISER:

You have shown yourself to be low IQ person.
Nobody who understand football will rate Rinaldo about Messi.

Which ex-footballer or coach regardless of the club exalts Rinaldo about messi?

You are definitely someone with an IQ which is too small to be classified as low ❗❗❗

You know nothing about football....

Run along Kiddo ❗

Contango:
I have never seen a person with high IQ rating Ronaldo over Messi


Messi’s transfer to PSG: 420k Instagram likes in 1 hr

CR7’s transfer to Juventus: 140k Instagram likes since inception.

Clearly, Messi eclipses CR7 in every way. Before you quote me, have your facts ready

Well there is me with an High IQ who knows Ronaldo is better than him in every way ❗

You using Instagram to share Ronaldo of all people ?

ObaKlaz:
Obviously, you are.

No, YOU ARE ❗

ObaKlaz:
I ain't talking 'bout Messi, bozo!

You are the numbskull here dimwit....

ObaKlaz:
His image rights and star power belongs to PSG now.

I'd so like to see PSG and Juve meet at some point in the CL.

It would be fun to see 'someone' diving all over the place to win his favourite drink - penaltea, or trying to spread his matress in the box to await his usual tap-ins but only to get bullied out by Thugmos Ramos.


The legend continues in Paris. They ain't ready for you, Leo!

Ramos wouldn't bully pessi... They are both on the same team...

Timtol:

Good evening Chief
The wall is been doubled and there few selected areas filled with "weak concrete" before the introduction of the plinth beam alongside the rebars.
Thanks

Okay Engr.

Thanks for your response.

Timtol:
Carpentry... Formwork♥️

Hello Engr,

Did you fill the blocks in fdn with concrete or you didn't because you are placing a plinth beam over them ?

Dennis3D:
Good morning Viewers.
We finally used 270 Bags of Cement for the ground beam. 80 Tons granite and 90 Tons Sand to complete this phase.

Formwork removal ongoing simultaneously too

Wow...this is a big job. Well-done.

You used more sand than granite. What mix ratio was used sir ?

topsy23:


Still waiting to hear from you

We have concluded on WhatsApp already...we are meeting by Wednesday at Lekki... You remember ?

walexProjects:


For each block of flats,The most ideal design is to design a system for Cold water supply from the Roof top to allow for Gravity Flow even when their is no Electricity to Power the Pumps.
You can contact me for the MEP Design.....

Like a steel water tank stand with an elevated tank...sort of ?

Good afternoon Engrs

I have a proposed residential development containing 12 flats split into 2 blocks with each block containing 6 flats each.

What is the most economic way to provide water to them ?

Dennis3D:
Work updates...
Lintel done

The columns and the chain lintel beam were casted on the same day... right ?

topsy23:
Good morning

You handle MEP design for estate also ?

You carry out the MEP design and construction right ?

Hello Fam

I need a tire bulldozer for site clearance at Sangotedo. Can anyone assist with leads ?

Thanks

Dennis3D:
Still on the ground works.
Blinding for the Raft...

Dry mix deployed because of the water composition inherent. Meanwhile pumping out of water was simultaneously done in areas where they are more than required.

Great job Engineer.

I am following to learn from you.

Dennis3D:


The basis of the doing the foundation the way is formed based on the prevailing ground condition of the estate which have been filled over a long period of time.

When you equally see the surrounding plots, you find the same type of structure is what we are doing on the same type of foundation.

Okay, the site has been filled already.

Engineer, the above formwork is for your raft base I presume. That means your foundation is sitting directly on the natural ground surface. Was any ground exploration carried out to confirm the natural ground can bear the proposed loads ?

Or what was the major consideration for finding the foundation on the natural ground ?

Dennis3D:


The preliminary is not listed on the order of work.

However, for emphasis. Site clearing comes first, storage House and borehole can happen simultaneously or one at a time.

But thanks for finding time here. We appreciate your time really.

Welcome Sir

Dennis3D:
Update on the roofing Works done here...
We used Milano Roofing Pattern Stone Coated.

About 350Sqm for both security and Gen House and BQ

The concrete fascia beam and the front columns were casted simultaneously ?

Dennis3D:
Main building foundation works..
Filling of the foundation after the beam works ongoing today.

Please correct me if I'm wrong Engineer...

For both the fence and the main building, you used a pad foundation for the column and a strip footing for the walls in fdn...

After 5 courses of blocks, you introduced a tie beam to tie the columns together so they can support the next courses of blocks ?
