Properties › Re: CONSTRUCTION PROCESS FOR A 3000 SEATER EVENT CENTRE by opalu: 5:36pm On Apr 05, 2021
emae009:
Good evening Sir, I have some follow up questions regarding the project.
1) Why wasn't steel beams used in place of constructing the 14m RC beams. Steel beams have good unsupported span.
2) If the building was Framed building, why wasn't the blocks of small sized like 6" or 5".
These two cases would have reduced the load footprint of the overall building on the foundation.

I'd be very appreciative of your response. Thank you
1. The 2nd floor is for an event centre independent of the lower event centre. And the 2nd floor slab is 150mm reinforced concrete. The Structural Engineer decided on concrete T Beams instead of Steel.
2. The Blocks used for internal partitioning was 6 inches. But all external blockwork are 9 inches.
The loading was carefully estimated and the foundation and the sub soil was capable of carrying those loads for the next 600 years cheesy

The same people who scattered the Twins are the same who are shouting bring back PSquare.
Me I dont listen to their songs. But I follow them on Facebook. When they make a post, like 40% comments is "Go back to your brother and start PSquare".
You havent finished deciding your own life yet you want to help others to decide how they should run their own lives. Haba!!!

Politics › Re: Building Collapse: Lagos Intensifies Preparations Ahead Of Rainy Season by opalu: 10:44am On Mar 17, 2021
Lagos state Government needs to make cost of Building Approval to be as low as N100,000. Secondly they should make it be as fast as 24 hours to 72 Hours!!!
To approve a 12 storey building shouldnt take more than 72 hours. And to Approve a Storey Building should be done within 24 hours.
If Lagos state can achieve this, then give the state 5 years and you will see massive constructions.
Also the quality of buildings will increase tremendously.

As things are right now, you can spend above 4 million to do building Approval and also pay all those agencies and their thugs that harass Engineers on site yet they wont even check quality. The reason is because they are all on targets. So money is the only thing in their minds.
