My State Kogi must be great!

I did not know that this formerly renown Activist is so daft and bereft of ideas like this.
It's like when a person enters political office, be or she becomes a different person.

Good
David mark has tried his best. He was in government when me and Daniel Onje were undergraduates in FUT Minna. The former Governor Suswam is the same age with Mark's first Son.
I think Mark should mark time for the Youth

But shoes can look similar na

Good one

I have a question, what should be the construction profile for a tank tower that is intended to carry 6,000 KG of water weight.
I know that the base needs to be a RAFT, constructed with 12mm and 16mm rebars.
I would like to know what the specification of the H beams and other technical details for a tank tower that is supposed to carry that much weight.
Thanks.

Please give it to a structural engineer to design. And pay him. Thanks

No Governor has any excuse to fail now

Holy things

What title does it have?

Thanks a lot!
The senior engineer in charge of the site did his assessment and continued with 1 SPT as planned initially. The spot picked for the SPT is a good representation of the site. His assessment is that the front side of the plot that is not so firm is as a result of the fact that the land slops.
Another money saving
But omo onile na waa O, to do soil test for 3 days and they want to collect money/stop test when construction has not started.

Everything has expiry date. Omonile wahala we face daily inclusive

ANBAKO:
Happy new year to everyone.

I have a plot of land bought with a foundation erected on it. I want to modify this foundation to build what I want but I am concerned about the integrity of the foundation. The foundation will be like 8 years old, the block looks not so solid, the columns were done with gravel but 16mm re-bar.

I am planning a storey building hence I want you to advise me on how and ways to fortify the foundation so that it's integrity can be guaranteed. I am adding some new columns to accommodate my new design.

Please note that land is solid and slightly slopy


Do good for good to come your way

Please upload the picture here let's see it better. Also hope you chiselled a portion to help us verify the reinforcement used top and bottom

Happy new year opalu

My geologist is now on site conducting the soil test on the 1 plot land. He has taken the 4 point CPT. He observed that the soil in front of the land is not as firm as the back. The point he is using for the SPT/borehole test is towards the middle of the land.
He is however suggesting that we should take another SPT/borehole test towards the front of the land that is not as firm as the back. An extra SPT will cost me extra amount of money.
Based on your experience/professional advice, is it necessary a do the extra SPT on the front portion? Though it will increase my cost, I also don't want to be penny wise and pound foolish.
This soil test is to determine the type of foundation required for a 1 story building (four 3-bedroom flats) on a swampy land. Included is the site plan

Happy new year. How is the family?

Regarding the borehole test SPT, you can do it where he is suggesting since as one doing the CPT he will hopefully know where the SPT is best suited. However, standard practice is to situate it in a place that gives the best representation of the entire site. in that light, Placing the borehole test in one corner may not be the best but as the one on ground, let the guy have his way.

Just like the pastors, they cook up lies and twist the Bible just to justify their actions.

Can't you make your point in public discuss without attacking Pastors? Stop beefing them cos they are humans like you.

Back to the topic, the OP has made valid points. While I was reading it, many other merits kept popping up on my mind.

Madam... go and rest. You have tried.

A PDP member in Anambra State described Ms. Ekwunife’s defection to the APC as good riddance. “Just a few months ago, this desperado used [former Firs Jonathan to hijack of Dame Jonathan and Prince Arthur Eze to rig her way to the Senate where she was until the court sacked her. Now, she has gone to fool the APC by dressing like an Alhaja,” he said.

Okay na

Terrible

Hmm.
From the story, it is clear that a rep of china visited APC office.
But it was not a communist party versus APC meeting. The usual way to derail national focus
