Good evening house.
Pls, I need a professional advice pertaining to a proposed building (5 storey structure) situated in the mainlands. We just mounted the ground floor columns( 37 in number). Unfortunately, the columns didn't pass the cube test results for 28 days, we got average of 16N/mm² for a grade 25 Concrete.

The Structural Engineer( Consultant) on the project insisted we should run an NDT to ascertain the integrity of the columns. The NDT test done were Ultrasonic and Schmidt hammer rebound tests.

The results for the 2 tests was satisfactory though it was done after the 28 days curing period.

To my surprise, the Consultant structural engineer gave an instruction that the columns should be demolished even when the NDT shows a satisfactory result.

As a contractor, I need advice on what else can be done to be able to further prove my points about the integrity of the Columns as demolition is not the right thing to do at the moment.

Thanks as I welcome a very professional opinion on this matter.

Were the cube samples gotten from the concrete mix or you prepared a different one for the cubes?

The results shows that the strength is poor and I believe the consultant is worried because of the number of floors the building will be supporting. We don't want any building to collapse. However the ND test is a confimatory test that there is a discrepancy between the cube result and the columns tested.

I'll suggest you talk to him cos you have done the necessary confirmatory testing and their result are satisfactory to recommend any other test that he is okay with before you all conclude on what next.

I would advice you have someone stationed to the mixer during casting to enforce the correct mix ratio and prevent this kind of issue. Also let the structural engineer or representative be available during your casting so he can witness the mix ratio.

This is very good advice. Always pay attention to the operator when casting..they can be very stubborn.

The concern is the number of floors on the project. So I understand the concern of the engineer, especially with the building collapse issues in Lagos State.

A subtle suggestion is maybe to add more columns to distribute downward pressure. (Disclaimer I’m not a certified engineer)

Good luck with the project.

The ultrasonic (voids) and hammer tests (surface hardness) are not a measure of the strength of concrete. They are only indicators of a good mixing and pouring. The 28days cube test remains the acceptable test for the compressive strength of the concrete because that is what confirms your mixing ratio.
If you trust the consultant i.e. if u believe he did a good cube test then u have to trust his judgement. It is for your own good.
There are ways to remedy the situation.

Good evening, i prefer having 2 features, and both should be applied for a perfect entrance; (1) From the door should lead directly to the bed rooms without directly passing through the living room and dinning (2) From the door with an 'option' of entering the living room and dinning but must not necessarily lead to the bedrooms.

Thank you.

Thank you brother. I'm new to this thread and have little or no experience about building. I have some plots of land in different parts in enugu but own no building of my own it sucks. Hopefully before the year runs out I'd use the one at phase 6 Trans ekulu and build even if it's two or 3 beds. Rent in enugu is getting crazy, landlords there are currently seeing everyone as yahoo boys. Imagine without a million naira plus you can't get a good two bed in a good location.
I really need build house by God's grace. Landlords are carelessly ripping people off here.

FEGEITOK:


Very good advice.

Failure to follow this is why many driveways need to be rebuilt every year

Plus the lack of usage of rebar

Copied from an internet resource in support:

What is the best concrete mix ratio for driveways

To withstand the weight of vehicle traffic, choose a concrete with a strength of 4,000 pounds per square inch for your driveways,
Regarding this, what is the best concrete mix ratio for driveways, one of the best and highly recommended concrete mix ratios used for concreting driveways is 1:2:3 (1 parts cement, 2 parts sand, and 3 parts aggregate), this will produce approximately a 4000 psi concrete mix. The strength of this mix ratio is ideal, commonly used, standard and good for driveways.


I worked this route before so I had to share

People can get away cutting corners on this because home driveways are not really heavy duty. You drive sedan or suv, and you really drive in and out maybe three times a day. But the moment you have a commercial facility eg a petrol station, a bank or an eatery, like you said you will get failures of your concrete very quickly. A driveway that may be driven over a 100 times each day and possibly by trucks and lorries
