Let us have sanity on this great thread instead of talking about Brabus all the time. This thread wasn't opened by Hajj to discuss Brabus misdemeanors. I know Hajj won't disagree. This thread was opened to discuss sharing of ideas about building beautiful homes.

That is true. This thread is to help people understands and discuss how we are going to build a beautiful house/homes.
So guys, please let's go back to our normal discussion of building homes. Thank you @FastShipping.

I concur

I guess labor is so cheap in Nigeria that people are not really into DIY and this is DIY.

I agree, its relay cheap.If it cost one a days salary to employ labor to do their lil jobs round the house Im sure everyone will get down to DIY

Kie E be like say I late come class 2day

And they need to take pictures for proof that they are doing simple DIY

I'm going to change the oils (engine, transmission and rear end) on my okada this weekend.

I'll be sure to take pictures of me lathered with oil, shining and glittering and holding assorted tools in hand

Yep too late Sir, but you can put me down for 5 flagrant and unruly behavior in class. As usual

I tell you I can relate.. Back to learning mode o. na who dey build or roof their house make dem post pictures make we see the one wey straight and the one wey no straight and learn o.

Back to learning mode jare, how about these ones we did this week since you love to see roofs. ........

I don't have a painter yet, remember I'm not on ground so it makes things a bit difficult.

Thanks.

i can get u a painter sir

Very nice job sir, how deep are those columns (pillars)? what are the center to center spacing of the foundation columns(pillars)? Are the foundation pillars founded on an isolated pad footings? How deep is the perimeter beams? Are you planning to you planning to filled the void spaces between these beams with sand before constructing the damp proof course (over site concrete)? Cost comparison if the dpc of oversite concrete is completely raised an decked as a suspended floor to filling the foundation before constructing the dpc/oversite concrete.

This is not a raft foundation but beam and slab on grade foundation because of the method of design and construction.

Method of design.
1. A short pile is design as either end bearing piles or skin friction piles depending on the location of strong soil strata. If the position if the strata is economically closer to the surface, an end bearing pile is used otherwise skin friction is employed.
Alternatively, an isolated pad can be founded on a good soil strata below the natural ground level ( not greater than 3m (10ft). The foundation columns are then designed as a N unbraced column with slenderness ratio of not greater than 10. Both ends of the column (point of contact with pad footings and point of contact with perimeter beams) are considered to be fixed in connection. The analysis is then carried out to determine the amount of steel and section required to transmit load adequately.

The grade beams are designed like every suspended beam independent of the grade soil on which it span. They are designed with loads from the ground floor DPC or oversite concrete, self weight of the partition walls on the beams and self weight of the beam. The beam then transmit the load to the foundation columns.


The dpc or oversite concrete is designed independent of the grade soil or filling soil, they are designed as a suspended slab carrying service load of occupancy, furniture and it's self weight. This slab is designed as a normal suspended slab with gravity load action game downward making the middle portion of each panels to be in sagging (positive moments ) and the support to in in hogging (negative moments). This slab loads are transferred to the beams.

Here is a simple mode of load transfer
Floor slab to grade beam to foundation column to isolated pad footings to soil strata below.

But for a raft foundation, mode of load transfer is
Raft slab to soil strata or
Raft slab to soil strata and beams to reduce punching in areas with high concentrated load (places of columns/pillar position)

These raft footings are up to 900mm to 1000mm?

Someone on this forum always say " Remind me not to play poker with you sir" ............... Now i know its sarcasm at its best.

Lastpage: Just want to ask:

How would YOU use this tool to work on our own "HOLED" 6" and 9" Blocks?

erico2k2:

Hmmm now U av asked a kwession
U know the part of the country I come from we do not use Holed blocks that's for commercial buildings only
U wil be suprised
And also even abroad no Hollo blocks it's solids. 4 inches solids then red bricks around it insulation in the middle .Even at that I'm sure with a few twicking a holo block bricky can be made

I am still trying to relate your response to the question l asked?


Read my response to @msogunro , below, and this was on Page 287!

Lastpage:
What l am hoping to hear/get is a sort of device which works like the Bricky tool but is also adaptable for hollow blocks, in one go.

Its not a difficult thing to achieve, if we can break the problem down into "manageable quanta".

For example:

If l take the Bricky Tool as it is right now,
a.) How can l incorporate a "flat layer of plastic" that blocks those holes (in our own Naija block) such that the Cement mix does not fall into the holes

b.) In doing (a) above, what mechanism can l incorporate such that l can remove the 'flat layer', as l remove the Bricky tool, at the same time?

c.) Should the 'flat layer' be permanently attached to the Bricky Tool or should be independently removable..... which one is easier?

The Bricky tool has solved the most important aspect of the problem.... it just needs minor adaption.
Sorry, its my #ScienceMind that is wondering aloud! grin

BTW: They use Hollow blocks "abroad". Check your 'facts' properly.

Thank you.

Oga Segcy,


This will be interesting!

Can we have more pictures, from various angles, to really appreciate what is on ground?

Can you also explain to us (Omo Class ) what makes this foundation, an "ADVANCED" Raft?
How does it 'radically' reduce Sedimenting? ,

This is the first time l am hearing of that phrase and l will like to really understand and appreciate the method.

Thank you.
