Thank you!
Ofcourse the foundation is capable of sustaining the structure through its life cycle.
I was looking from the perspective of cost savings, resources, materials and load reduction, lower carbon footprint etc.
I think you interpreted my reason for asking those questions differently. I was asking if it's structurally adequate to use steel beams and smaller sized blocks for theexternal walls lif someone is doing a similar project.
When a Structural Engineer like you estimates all the expected loads the Structure is to carry plus the dead loads, he or she can use appropriate steel members to carry those loads. Whatever concrete can carry, steel can carry. What concrete and steel cannot carry, other enhanced materials like prestressed concrete can be used where weight will be an issue.
For instance I almost used Prestress for the entire 2nd floor. Those deep beams of long span wouldnt have been necessary at all. But the cost of importing the tendons and others to use were above what the client wanted to pay. So we had to use normal Reinforced concrete.

The external walls can be 6 inches. However most clients wont like that idea if you are to present that before them. Except it its highrise where we use specially very strong blocks of 6 or even 4 inches. Or other composite materials

Webmasters › Re: Should Nairaland Be Moved To Wordpress? by opalu: 8:49am On Apr 20, 2021
Please who can design a forum like nairaland on wordpress that is far better with better features?
My wife is building a group on Facebook and she is scared of what happened to RantHQ and Lovezone and others that Facebook suddenly shut down. So she wants to have a very interactive forum like Nairaland that she can tell all her members and new members to migrate to. So that Facebook wont shut them down when they cross 1 million members

Is this guy a learner? To plant something in your pocket or car or house and then show Nigerians is so easy. Anyways I am not saying he is innocent or guilty since I dont know him. Neither am I say NDLA can do such because I trust their new Oga Marwa who is a strict disciplinarian

Because his Grandfather was President, Nairaland gave him Frontpage. Me a Nairalander for more than 13 years, if I do business and add the flyer to my comment, one Mod will come and ban me. I think NL owner Seun needs to update and replace some expired rules of this place.

The Future is for both MALE and FEMALE!!
It is fake men like Bobrisky and his cohorts who abandoned their gender that make you people to always use this boring tag

Travel › Re: What To Know About Ibom Industrial City & Ibom Motors City...video & Photos by opalu: 7:22pm On Apr 16, 2021
I have done an intensive research on the 100 most successful Industrial Parks and Research Parks in this world. They can come under different names like knowledge city, media city, etc etc etc.
I have discovered that all these leading projects have one single thing in common. They were ALL driven by the private sector not a federal or state Government. Of course the Government gives the necessary supports in terms of the statutory regulatory and conducive environment for them to thrive. But they are not driven by Governments. That is on one side.

The other side is that every Project or dream or vision or idea championed by the state or Federal government in Nigeria ends as a white elephant project. Like a phantom dream. It remains a dream. Even when the project has been completed like Tinapa or 90% completed like Ajaokuta Steel. They still somehow die after birth. embarassed

Check the industries and sectors that Government dont control like Music Industry, movie industry, Religion, etc Nigeria is renowned worldwide in those aspects.
Government needs to FREE most sectors for tested and trusted private sector to run. Not their cronies.
Like I always say, the day Lagos state Government outsources All Building Control and Approval functions to tested and trusted private sector, that is when you can get approval within 24 hours and 1000% quality in buildings
