Last month someone approached us for a hotel structural design with beam span of 7.8m at all sides and going to 4 floors.

After our calculations, we arrive at a beam depth of 750mm with y20 reinforcements.

It was after the whole process that the person told us that, they want to use the design for approval but their intent is to use secret beam (not the one we designed with a beam drop of 750mm) for the entire project, and I almost jump out of my skin upon hearing that. He said they have seen so many beamless slabs and they are still standing.

We have to take out time to school them on different types of slabs (solid,flat,ribbed,waffle) and how it has its own design/construction principles.

The problem is that most of all this people are truly not in the know (In this case, they were obviously mistaken solid slab for flat slab(beamless slab) and as such they believe it is hidden beam that will hold their 7.8m span slab.


Bravo.

This is how to handle clients, take time to educate us. Don't demean us for internet salutes.

Part off my speech to my artisans is that I will have ideas that may not be feasible and it's up to them as professionals to guide me on proper methods. I have lots of ideas but not all might pass known engineering principles.

But now sharp guys are diverting help seekers to their private kingdom.

Look at the ways you just rap up or summary my quote.

Does this look like diverting or helping someone in need here, who told you this thread is not vibrant, if it's not, why are you here, why don't you go to jokes section, pets section, or other sections on this forum, why are you at properties section, off topic thread.

I'm a commenter, quoter, threads creator here.

I don't know what you mean by private Kingdom.

I have work for over 50 peoples here that said I should never show the pictures of their project here and never mention their names.

They said and I quote, my working for them should remain btw me and them, and they are only here as guest and not a register member.

Also so many registered members on this forum i worked for that the pictorials works are here on this thread and other threads on this forum.


So many people come here everyday as guest, they took useful resources and turn it into wealth, they act privately here, having said this.

I was busy, I know I won't have the time to do the calculation for the quote the forumite that comment needs, Note I'm doing it for free, for him or her, while I will still be trying to get the accurate information I need from him or her to achieve this, all this effort is to the benefit of the quoter, your summary to it does not fit with all due respect.

Now tell me what I have done wrong brothers or sisters if u also need this help I will do it for u with my time for free. I will use my time and my data for u for free.

Another thing you don't know and you need to know is that not everyone here that need help will share their survey plan, architectural drawing, structural drawing, mechanical drawing or blue print of project here for personal or security reasons.

I said the above because I was just chance to check the thread and I saw I have the little time to help out if I have the measurements, if it 50 by 100, or 60 x 120 or 30 x 120, or 50 x 50 it's a plot of land.
Maximeo:
Hello guys, please could someone here give me approximate cost of fencing one plot of land at Aba (Obingwa LGA, Abia State to be precise)?

This is urgent. Thanks in advance, God bless.

Grab a brush and some baking soda. Bicarbonate, the active ingredient in baking soda, is an effective spot treatment to help kill the algae and loosen it from the floor and the fence.

Make sure you really get every last particle free; black algae has particularly long and stubborn roots which makes it a persistent strand.

This will help you.

But i know the bosses in the house may also have other solutions to this particular problem.

I did one recently in one of my big bro’s house. We removed the interlock stones, pressure wash them and lay them back.

I’ll see if I can share video of the cleanings process.

Very nice.

Pressure washing might be the best option. I’m sure it might be more efficient that pouring chemicals and brushing manually.

@next did you rent or buy the pressure washing machine.

I confused on what to lay between stamped concrete and interlocking, while putting cost and maintenance into consideration.
