Makes one to wonder if she has anything else to offer apart from her body. See the name of her party self - Pleasure Party!
She's a disgrace to women in politics.

Do you have to say poo all the time?
Relax and enjoy the show

Just curious from my knowledge of Structural Safety.

I was thinking the DPC should be a continuous structure. This seems as if you made them in parts/sections.

Secondly, if the Block Work is part of the foundation (to gain some height) how well will the hollow blocks bear the load transferred from the DPC? I would have thought the DPC would be directly on the Raft Casting? That way, load from the block work and lintels (on the ground floor) will go the the DPC and transferred to the Raft Foundation. I cant help but feel that the block work might give way.

Anyway, neat Iron works for the foundation. Very neat and straight.

Thanks for the observation.
Jus so you know, the slab has internal beam running along the beamlime or block line which will transfer wat ever load that will be coming to the slab to the columns and down to the foundation.

Thanks for the compliment.@ neat work

Tomorrow being Friday, we will do the forming(block setting out), and hopefully take it to the window level.

The rain has come upon us here in the city.

STRATEK:
This is not raft foundation...i think u can call this reinforced concrete deep strip depending on the depth of the ground beam..

We have three type of raft foundation & this doesn't fall into any...

For education purposes, can you pls do me the honour by naming them.

I know of slab and beam raft and that is wat we are doing.

I will be waiting to share in the info.
Regards.

OmaniPadmeHum:
Does a raft foundation allow for German Flooring? When is the German Flooring done? Because it seems you commenced block work immediately after.

Just curious.

The block work is part of the foundation. This was done to raise the level of the DPC.
wat ever happen in constructing the road leading to compound will never affect the house.

This is a pix showing DPC casting

Oga,u think she lie? Real Niger deltan's don't hate PMB but paid PDP Niger deltan's /Ipod are the one's showing their frustration thinking Mr president is their problem.

Wat is dis one saying.
you mean paid APC Niger Deltans are the ones who love the dullardin.ho.
kontinue.

Mr. dullaard can never be a problem to core NDeltans. It's peeps like you who are licking the detroit piston of MBuhari that are the problem wit this country.

APC wud never like this pix.
Ride on Mama Peace.

Btw, RIP to the deceased. Bro Obuah, take heart.

Omoluabi16:
jamie, cersei and tyrion. The Starks? ned killed like a common traitor. Catelyn and you were ambushed and slaughtered like chickens, rickon wasted. we have an invalid bran, two girls who'll lose their names due to marriage.

Two girls who will get married hahaha.
Aya wont get married neither will Sanza. You forgot my bro the new King of The North Jon.

Well jus chill and watch as the Westeros stand still for the "Starks"

Hw was your day??

So people, the work is progressing.
After the block work, comes the boarding and casting of the short columns to DPC level.
Filling is ongoing rite now. I will upload pix wen I get to the site soon.


Questions will be entertained asap.

penitential:
@op, don't you think it will be more advisable to increase the height of the raft beam, cos its likely water might weaken the blocks

The height of the raft is 1200mm alone. Then we have 3couch of block work.
From wat we have at site, I wanted 2couch but the architect with the owner chose it this way.
This level now is far above the road in front of the house, and slightly that at the back.
So frm level of water checked year in and out, water cannot get to the blocks

Casting of beams cimpleted and block work done to approved level. Note, this level is to avoid flooding of the area as it is close to a river.

Every little thing, you haters blame the gov.
The gov arranged a scheme in which they shud tender their arms.
Almost all the other local govt accepted and surrender their arms. But the people of Ogoni extraction refused to drop their arms.
Their politicians mocked it and played politics wit it, their leaders ignored the program, the result is wat you see.
If it is a cultist that was killed, I have no pity for him. kill n die by the sword.


Pls leave the gov out of this.

penitential:
Ok.

Ya.
To avoid an uneven settlement which may result in collapse, hence this kind of foundation.

Concrete work on-going

penitential:
What warrant the specification of raft foundation for this type of soil; seeing clearly that the soil is a soil with moderate soil bearing capacity?

A test was conducted and it was found.that there is an underlying layer of clay material which you know is plastic in nature

Rebars for columns inserted and formwork done awaiting concrete work.

Pls Nlanders in this section, join me as I show you the development of a duplex with raft in Ph.

Pictures all the way to finishing.
Questions are welcomed and will be answered asap.
This pix shows the formation of the raft beams jus before the rebars for the columns were inserted

Why do people like to construct narrow rectangle ponds instead of squares

I think it is the space that is available for them.
Secondly, .........I am coming

Omoluabi16:
The lannisters send their regards. Two of una no well

Who is remaining in the family of the gold hair?

I laff.

Ashrush:
Thank you sir

kudos to.you.
I have a problem wit the fencing. It seems you guys dont bother about pillars even using blocks to form it.
Your fence need to be broken into smaller partitions.

My 2cent tho.

HateU2:
and some are busy with the bullshiit talk of 'no son' That man looks happy and fulfilled.

Ladies are better in taking care of their old parents than the so called 'son'

I concur.
All the killings in Rivers before now were done by male children.
It's only in a region(Igbos) they regard male child more than a female child jus for bizness and ......you know the rest.
