In Mathematics they use length x width and their is that common perception that the longer dimensions are the length and the shorter dimensions are width. BUT
In Construction and other Engineering fields I observe the use of Width x length.
I cannot explain why but I hope someone in the house can give us a logical reason why.

The truth lies in the fundamentals which is Density = mass / volume.
Volume
The volume in cubic meters is given has length x width x height. In this case the volume of the truck be it 6 tires or 10 tires can be obtained. I measured a 6tire once and got dimensions of 3.5 x 3.25 x 0.6 m resulting in 6.825 cubic meters.
Density
density varies with the type of materials and it's gotten from laboratory experiments. The density of different types of materials are listed below
Sharp sand/plaster sand = 1600kg/m3
Density of Gravel (using the dry density of concrete) = 2400kg/m3
Density of Ordinary Portland Cement = 1506kg/m3
Mass
The mass has a direct relationship weight and can be gotten by rearranging the formula earlier listed for density Mass in kg= density x Volume.
1000kg gives you 1 tone.( Mass kg/ 1000) = mass tonne

Let's say you received a trip of sand with a 6 tire having dimensions of 3.5x 3.25x0.6m giving you a volume of 6.825 cubic meters. Since we have established the density of sand to be 1600kg/m3
Mass kg = 6.825 x 1600
= 10920kg
Converting to tonne
Mass tonne = mass kg/1000
= 10920/1000
= 10. 9tonne
Next time you receive your material get your tape and calculator ready to be sure you paying for the right quantity.

The concrete facial is a non structural member, The only load we have to be concerned about is the self weight of the concrete facial. The polystyrene facial comes in to reduce the self weight by almost 90%. The polystyrene is used in place of clay pots in waffle slab construction for the same reason has self weight reduction.
Presently the Polystyrene is far cheaper in cost than Insitu concrete facial and I project it to become far more cheaper when more entrepreneurs come in to Production process.
It has an extra bonus of being very durable due to its hydrocarbon properties
And for extra points its easy to install and perfect for DIY Prospective home owners.

Did you watch the video? Imagine if it was a Christian convoy returning from a programme, if those hooligans could threaten the military in that we what do you think they would have done to ordinary civilians?

Lol, is this a joke? You think running a country of 170million is the same has reading the same book every Sunday?

Black people disturbing themselves with a white man's religion.... SmH

In line with our renovation objectives, every aspect of the house was looked into for repair, removal or replacement keeping in mind our cardinal objectives of Structural integrity, modernization and aesthetics. The plumbing aspect of the house was not spared. Below are Pictures of the designed and newly installed plumbing system for house.

As long has she wasn't paid in cash in which the Nigerian Govt can charge her for money laundering

Thank you sir

Civil Engineers with vast knowledge of building construction from years of personal experience in the construction industry backed up with our B.ENG first class honours( Abdulwastecx) and second class upper honours(Podosci) in civil engineering from the prestigious Federal University of technology, Minna. Our aim is to reduce the 17 million housing deficit in Nigeria with our research into low cost housing while maintaining standards and durability. One House at a time

Re modification of Existing Windows
The windows are approximately 76 in number with varying dimensions of 800mm x 800mm, 1200mm x 1200mm,1500mm x 1200mm, 1800mm x1200mm of the louver type of windows. The re modification was brought about by modernization of the existing windows style and ultimately the clients drive towards the beautification of the structure as a whole.
The new windows are to be made of aluminium casement windows with varying dimensions of 600mm x 900mm, 1500mm x 750mm and 600mm x 2100mm.
Removal of existing louver windows took 2days @ N200 per windows
Several brick layers were employed for the modification of the windows with sandcrete blocks to achieve the desired dimensions.

So your wicked God killed a man for deceiving him?.....wow, God sure sounds like Hitler

Why are people not calling for Gej to explain, are we afraid of him? Because everything centers around him

May the souls of the soldiers and civilians who died has a result of this wickedness hunt you to your grave.

Pdp have denied paying dopkesi for adverts, they said all money they spent was from private contributions.... So which exact advert did dopkesi run with the money?

It's poor people that think of tribe, the corrupt political elite see themselves as comrades and partners while stealing.... The Igbo are not being marginalized, Poor Nigerians are being Marginalized,. And it's high time we the oppressed stand up and take our country back from this old foolish men

Ben Bruce sat through the first and second reading and did nothing to rally the masses he claims to speak for.... If you do nothing when good men do nothing

The TSA thing was awarded during the Government of GEJ,

The protest started peacefully and then degenerated into destruction of vehicles belonging to dangote and blocking of the road causing untold hardship to people trying to travel and transport their goods. Rumore is circulating round about an hausa corper being killed by the protesters and hausa or yoruba owned shops being burnt. First of all peaceful protest is good and I was happy with the way it was conducted yesterday but today was unnecessary. Rip to the dead
we are all suffering in this country and being marginalized by the Rich political elites, why don't we the poor masses set aside our tribal differences and protest against this marginalization

Hate speech against Igbo should also be banned, am not in support of anybody,

I am currently in Anambara and most of the artisans and Labour here are not in support of all this expecially the news this morning that dangote trucks were being damaged. The rich elites( Igbo,,,,hausa, yoruba) are the once marginalizing all of us buts it's us that's attacking each other rather than attacking our oppressors

Free speech is not an excuse to incite violence, nairaland is doing its best to avoid being the medium for inviting violence....

Lol..... Where you born yesterday? Dasuki was the former NSA head and overstretched his jurisdiction into arms importation.

You see what you want to see

600k/year for a one bedroom self contain
.... That's huge

It has nothing to do with religion but the murder of almost 95% of red Indians by the British setlers..... History is dictated by the Victor and that's what's happening here

97% of bokoharam casualties are from the NE, are you saying more people from the SE would die than from the NE if the war starts? Because it doesn't make sense

The politicians who have enslaved us don't care about tribe, religion or ethnicity. They steal and share the loot amongst themselves. But the poor and enslaved Nigerians are the onces bothering about trivial issues.

The world has been unfair to the females gender, History is dictated by the Victor and that's exactly what men are doing, because religion is dictated by men, religion too oppresses women. I hope one day the women folk would take a stand against male oppression.

Nice approach. One thing i can pick out is your approach towards flat roofs keeping in mind the cost effectiveness , I love the way you make them look beautiful. Nice work
