Great news you have there and thanks for following.

Goodluck

2G. German floor:

I used 1:3:6

2F. Filling:

If you missed the note on filling in part2, please check it out

2E. Block-works to Foundation:

Note: Sub-Structures are works below the German floor
while; Super-Structures are work above ground level.

The blockwork being discussed here is part of the sub-structure.

2D. Foundation:

Basically what we'll be doing here is finding the total LINEAR LENGHT of the trench, the WIDHT of the trench dug and the thickness (DEPTH) of the concrete you intend to cast... (L x B x H)

See the screenshot attached for calculation details and cost advice.

Meeenah:
Surely a reason must be given for banning you. Your post is highly educative, I dont understand why you are banned. Please speak to admin.

Thanks for your concern. I've sent a message to lawyer but he didn't reply, i've tagged seun no reply

I've read my post 10 times over and can't find why they keep banning me as much as 10 times now.... but we move... because i promised to do this, I might drop the remaining post as pictures just as I did for the last one above. Thanks

see attached picture (I've been banned not less than 10 times and might discontinue the post)

iii. Rebar in Rings
From the design, we have been told there are 12 number of rings in each starter column, we have 18 columns = (12 x18) = 216 numbers of rings in all.

How they arrived at 12? easy, length of starter column is 2200mm (2.2m) just divide this length by the spacing of rings i.e 175mm apart.
i.e 2200 / 175 = 12.

but, what's the length of 1 ring? - Since the column is 225mm by 225mm, to get the length of ring minus 50mm from 225mm  (so the ring would be a bit smaller than the column and fit in) = 225mm - 50mm = 175mm.
As the name implies, its a ring of 175+175+175+175 (to form a square) = 175 x 4 = 700mm

add 100mm to it for bend = 800mm per ring.
we have 216 numbers of rings. therefore
Total length of rings needed = 216 x 800mm per ring
= 172,800mm i.e 172.8m of rebar (If 1 rebar is 12mm long)

Then: 172.8m / 12m = 15 lengths of 10mm rebar are needed for the rings

ii. Rebar in Starter Columns.
Notice that from the diagram our column is 1100mm (i.e 850+250) below site level (+0.00) and 750mm above the slab, the thickness of the slab is 150mm (+150).

This means the length of our starter column is 1100mm+150mm+750mm (overlap)+200mm(bend) =  2200mm i.e 2.2m per column - BUT its is labelled as 4Y16 meaning each column has 4 of that length.

Hence:
Rebar per column = 2.2m x 4 = 8.8m
Numbers of column = 18 nos
Rebar needed for all 18 columns = 8.8m x 18 = 158.4m (if 1 length is 12m long, then)
158.4m / 12m = 14 lengths of 16mm rebar are needed for Starter Columns.

Good morning bro
Pls some plumbers are of the opinion of using two plumbing waste pipes (one for faeces, one for waste water), while some are the opinion of using just one pipe for both faeces and waste water.
Pls what's ur advice...

It has to be 2 for environmental health and economic reasons too.

@ MisterKennedy

Try some herbal medication... You're in far away Jos, so recommending is impossible... Just look for a registered herbal doctor there like the Yemkem of the west... I assure you, it would work.

@ BiigTee

Everything about Polystyrene is on this thread.

On your question... You don't have to do a full beam, since Polystyrene is light weight... But doing it is an advantage.

Goodluck

Naira La ND B0t is has ba n ned me 5 times now, so I'm doing the post in bits.

Thanks for following

Terminologies from attached column design:

4Y16 - 03 - This means that the labelled element consist of 16mm rebar size and there are 4 numbers of such in it. The 03 means check 'Bar code' 03.
note: for complex works, you would be provided with a table showing the shape and cutting length of the labeled rebar (i.e check item no 03 on that chart)

12 Y10 42 - 175 - This means there are 12 numbers of 10mm rings placed at 175mm apart (c/c) in a known start and end point and you can check no 42 on the bar chart for more details.

i. Rebar in base (Matt)
The matt is 1m by 1m square and I've been told its 5 Y12 vertically and 5 Y12 Horizontally per base. This means I need 10 (5+5) numbers of Y12 and each one is 1m long. hence
10 x 1m  = 10m length per base. (but always add 200mm (0.2m) to your length to accommodate for bend (see diagram above). So let's recalculate and factor in bends.

10 x 1.2m = 12m per base. (The length of 1 rebar is 12m)
this means that I need 1 length of rebar per base.

SINCE ALL OUR BASE ARE SAME SIZE (not always so) I'll just multiple the number of bases by the number of length needed. (let's count the number of bases from our plan/design)

18 bases x 1 length per base = 18 lengths of 12mm rebar are needed for Matt.

OK ALL...


BYE BYE - SEE YOU NEXT YEAR OR ON ANY OF MY THREADS

BiigTee:
Good evening to all Esteemed engineers on this platform.. I have a quick question.. Does a building having chain lintel require a roof beam again?

SO CALLED CHAIN LINTEL is a waste of money.... why do people do it?

If it's without concrete facial 'parapet' you can live without the roof beam..... but next time, skip the chain lintel and do a roof beam...

temizeee:
Good morning house , Please how many bags of cement will do lintel of a normal 3 bedroom bungalow?

8-10 BAGS

MrDraey:
Good evening experts in the house,

I'd like to seek your advices, I am at the roofing stage of my building, I have bought most of the materials except woods and workmanship.

I decided to get quotations for burglary, front and back door as well as windows. (Mhen prices were kinda high especially the windows)

Now my question is, would it be advisable to divert the little fund I have now into the burglary and windows because I learnt the prices of these materials keeps going up almost on daily basis, or should I just roof the house.

Thank you.

NB: na Kobo Kobo project, save and use, save and use.

Erums:
Pls is window dressing different from plastering.... Im confused because my engineer is charging different for it.. What do I do Pls.?

its standard practice to charge differently for it.. He's right to do so..
