I haven't tried this before but it's looks really interesting.

However, these are my questions, observations and suggestions

What are the load bearing capacities of the soil that made you choose this options because for this type of merger to work the difference in the soil load bearing capacities should not be wide apart. Otherwise there would be serious settlement issues..

Also where the two footings are meeting how are you going to ensure there is no differential settlement and cracks on the building.

I would rather have cavity ( double) walls along the dividing line; one on each footing type, to prevent cracks that want to might occur as a result of differential settlement on that part of the building.

Moreover, I believe the ground floor ( oversite concrete) of the two foundations should be on the same level, how do you intend to achieve this with that depth of beam. I seriously think the beam depth is rather too small for a raft beam.


KolaShangOne:
What do you think of this strip and pad + slab beam raft foundation..
.
Load bearing differs on the same plot..

And others.. pls feel free to critique.

Advantages of hollow blocks slab.

- Its more economical.
Hollow blocks is more cheaper to execute than normal RC slab. It saves more than 40% of total cost of both labour and materials to be used in construction.

for example. If you need 200pcs y12mm bars for decking in normal slab, you will need 120-150pcs of y12mm bars for hollow blocks slab. Same as cement and gravels.

- Low self-weight
Because of the hollow blocks been used, it reduces the quantity of concrete to be used which increases the dead load (self weight) of the building.

- More stable.
Hollow blocks slabs uses mostly beams which intersects with one another strategically, making it more stable.

Contact me for your building supervision or architectural drawings. My services are but not limited to;

- Decking contract (both carpentry and casting)
- Plaster labour contract
- Blockwork labour contract
- Tiling and interlocks. etc

Thanks

Am seeing this for the first time. U mean this is a decking of a building? What are the sizes of those steel bars used? Nawaaaa ooo!

If you really want to do large quantities, come to Ogun state.. There's CDK at Sagamu, Goodwill and Royal (I think) around Atan.. etc

Yes is a decking, Y16 for main beams and y12 for smaller span beams. Main advantages of it is less weight and economy and more durable

Hello house, I appreciate everybody here and thank you for all the responses and insights, y'all are the real mvp's wink Please I'm at the stage of casting my soakaway, how do I go about it? From iron(Size to use and its price) to cement (Quantity of cement) to granite to carpentry, how much do you think all of this would cost me? It's just our normal nija everywhere soakaway sizes, Thank you engineers.

I can't fence it, chief. They're too much.

The cost of fencing 2 plots gave us around 1m but we have over 50hectares of lands.

. Hmm ok good then cuz those cities aren't notorious for rascality concerning land like lagos and his suburb (ogun). Well what i normally advise some of my client that are in similar situation like yours is to find this Togolese or cotonou people to make a settlement on the land doing their ogogoro business or the fulani settling on the land rearing their cattles after letting them know where your land begins and where it ends; trust me they'll give u a call if they notice any trespasser on the land unlike leaving the land with a mere gate notice, if na for here sir you'll be confuse about the exact location you put the Notice cuz boys go don steal am use the money smoke Weed

This method are common in most African countries I don't know why we don't use this method here in Nigeria,in Kenya they use this method is called Beam & Blocks think of how much someone can save on formwork,steel bars, bamboos etc...using this method

This is precast rib slab construction. I'm planning to start providing this service in Nigeria

It has lots of advantages like, it being cheaper, it's faster and it's as sound as the rigid slab normally adopted in Nigeria.

Also, you can achieve the required strength for the rib beams because they can be properly cured.

One major disadvantage is that its joints need to be properly designed especially for areas prone to seismic activities.

I hope you guys will patronize my smart_slab solution �

I'm the director at Masterpiece trucks and granites.We take the stress of granite materials and sharp sand off the shoulder of contractors. With our partnership,we estimate the total numbers truck supply needed for the project and supply as soon as the material is needed while the project moves at your pace. On average,we're able to save you about 10% total cost on granites and sharp sand for each project.

looks similar to the clay decking pot technique.

Well, I wouldn't consent with this substitute people are subscribing to these days.
It suppose to be hollow clay pot, (not necessary made of clay) that is lighter, shorter in lenght and tougher.
