Useless govt.
All the roads built by t a orji with over 30 billion naira yaff spoilt oh.

Its unfortunate that in this age, we still celebrate road construction by our rulers...with our money. What happens to human development? After his tenure, his main scorecard will be the number of roads he built, or useless structures he mounted...like his predecessor, while Abians keep trooping to Lagos in search of greener pasture. Nonsense.

obum88:



We have not tried such in Nigeria. I heard it is cheaper and durable. Let's give it a shot. I pray it works

Why use Abians as Guines pigs? Go and google concrete road construction and see the nonsense those guys are doing with shovels. Do you think Abians deserve this rubbish?

Pebcak:
Maybe we need to educate ourself I know we have some Civil Engr in this forum, and using concrete might be a better option in some area I know in Texas USA where its dry and not that humid they have a lot of concrete roads and up north in Illinois USA they have more tar roads.

We only use tar in Nigeria but is it applicable to all roads?

Concrete is better nah and your pix does not show that the concrete is reinforced. Obiagu1 respond.

funkiebully:


The concrete is just a base, the top will be ashphalted but not as thick as when laterite is used as base.
This is just like casting bridge with concrete and top it with asphalt, water permeability is reduced and long lasting road is what u get.

This is a solid work going on in ABA. I commend the governor

Concrete can't withstand tension so can't serve as the base. The base of all roads are under tension so concrete without reinforcement will just fail instantly.

PDPwayoo:


so is more expensive?

yes concrete roads are very expansive dats its major disadvantage but,if built well such a road has a lifespan of 30 years

Nwanne calm down! Your blood fit boil stone. When I came to Lagos I saw where they use interlocking stone to construct roads I was surprised. I sounded more like you then. But with time the road was proving its worth. Just be patient. How many of the asphalt wey layer no reach slice of bread last pass one year. So encourage innovation.

Chineke!!!!

That is rabbish!!!

'Aba' Road, if u ask me, that technology used won't last 6 month..

Yes his pic shows finished reinforced concrete road.
The load distribution he showed was because the steel rods were there else the concrete will just breakup in pieces from the base and extends to the top.

I do hope he will use asphalt on the surface to prevent skiting of the car

MADE IN TAIWAN, ABA BRANCH!

Oga, how did u arrive at the conclusion that the concretes are not reinforced? Before laying the reinforcement mesh won't u lay a base? Obviously the OP didn't snap that, but the pictures up there are just concrete base on which the mesh will rest before the covering concrete.

ALex Otti is coming to kpochapu this nonsense being done by Ikpeazu

You're damn funny

Okay oo, continue waiting for the mesh.
Can't you see the intended thickness of the road with the curb as a guide? There's no plans to reinforce it, trust me.

Concrete roads are very expensive that's why it's not so popular.

Something that will crack within a month, even with a trailer. .
no wonder the Egbos dont spend..

Is this type of reinforcement done with wire mesh ?

400billionman:

Yes it is.
That's how you reinforce all slabs.

why are they always showing us cement road under construction instead of a completed one? I remember this is not the first one

Obiagu1:


Yes it is.
That's how you reinforce all slabs.

Are you a civil engineer ?

Outdated and lame

This kind road go de wear tyre out die

otabuko:
Okso this is road construction... Ignoring place that need urgent attention and romancing better places....

Are you listening to yourself? Romancing better places eh? Aba is a better place in your eyes Shay? Where exactly do you live? In the gutter? Foolish boy

Hmmm, this won't even last the eight months someone was charitable enough to dash. Someone should stop him IMMEDIATELY.

Obiagu1:

Clap for yourself

slimzypink:

no dear u need beans and cum

No reinforcement, even d concrete sef doesn't look like a standard mix 4 such wrk, and I bet dis rd go crack in less than a year. Tho I stand 2 b corrected cos am nt a civil engr

PDPwayoo:


so is more expensive?

Yes but its far beta dan asphalt
