wunmite90: The cement quantities seems to be inadequate, how is it possible to cast all the lintels (plus columns) with 15 bags? Also rods, @ wunmite, nice points. |

I was right to insist on pouring some soil into the site before the site store. The land is getting more water logged by the day. Still watching and taking notes.

Re: The Making Of "The Port Harcourt Duplex + Penthouse" by wunmite90: 1:48pm On Jul 27, 2015 |
vizion: well a standard motar mix is ratio 1 : 5 ( 1 headpan of cement to 5 headpan of sand). but over here in our country we go as high as 1 : 8 also for 9 inches block one bag of cement is naturally expected to set 30 blocks. but we also see people setting as high as 50 blocks with a bag. i dont fully understand your last question. you can please rephrase it to help me understand. |
Re: The Making Of "The Port Harcourt Duplex + Penthouse" by doncaster(m): 3:30pm On Jul 27, 2015 |
wunmite90:1 bag of cement to 70 blocks is ok |
Re: The Making Of "The Port Harcourt Duplex + Penthouse" by erico2k2(m): 11:23pm On Jul 27, 2015 |
spyder880:Plz at ur PH sites in the past where and whom do you get quality granite from? and howmuch do you consider as a fair price for a 30 tone load?? |
Re: The Making Of "The Port Harcourt Duplex + Penthouse" by wunmite90: 11:51pm On Jul 27, 2015 |
doncaster: I will only agree to that if its 6 inch blocks. |

wunmite90: let me rephrase pls how many 6 inches blocks should be set with a bag of cement. what is the ratio for "sharp sand" to "3/8 Sand" to "Cement" used for blinding the foundation for a fence. Thanks again |
Re: The Making Of "The Port Harcourt Duplex + Penthouse" by wunmite90: 12:15am On Jul 29, 2015 |
vizion: U can set as much as 70 6inches blocks( but I prefer less) with a bag of cement. Blinding is actually different from actual footing, but not to pretend I don't understand what you are refering to cos most of my own workmen self actually call it blinding. So for fence we don't usually bother ourselves with engineering standard practice because its not expected to carry extra load. D major factors that determine our footing is actually the soil type. I will say use 1:3:6 and make it 2 to 4 inches thick. Dat is for every head pan of cement put 3 headpan of sand and 6 headpan of granite. But if ur ground water level is high things might have to change. Assuming 60 by 120 feet land and 4 inch thick footing you will be needing. 21 bags of cement , 5 tons of sand (u need less but dats d smallest truck available u just add the remaining to that which you need to set the blocks) and 5 tons of granite. For setting assuming u want to set 3000 blocks as fence just buy additional 10 tons of sand and 45 bags of cement. I just gave out all d information cos I don't know d intended use. |
