Nweze1986:
EXAMINING THE CONCEPT OF CONCRETE ROAD TECHNOLOGY IN EBONYI STATE

By Philip Nweze

about 4mm - 6mm Mesh in a road that's supposed to be heavy duty isnt good enough....

I would have expected T&B reinforcement except you're saying Tippers and articulated vehicles aint allowed here?

The problem is its all gonna crack in a year plus are there enough expansion joint? the pics don't say so.

We're all learning

Make i laugh; I cant come and go and kiiii myself.

RIP Dear

Ok. How many bags for 200m2 .

200m2 is a lot of SqM - Well thats 135 bags if properly mixed or less if not.

Regards

scrule007:
Please how many sqm of floor or spacewill the mix 1:3:3 cover. Thanks.

Hi, your question is incomplete - what you can rather ask is how many bags of cement is required for xyz(m3) - offcourse 1:3:3 can fill as much as you want...

this is sad.. RIP

Not Wrong

na wa ooh - the rich also cry

is any1 paying the cucumber seller for time wasted taking the pics?

May Allah reward you....


modified: I dedicate my 1st FTC on an Islamic post to all fasting Muslims and a more peaceful Nigeria. Ameen

as long as Enyiama isn't in the list - I'm OK

Arnoldfish:
Can this kind of cornice be achieved with EPS?

The pics you shared was actually done with polystyrene (offcourse I know its a 3ds ) - google polystyrene.

handsome man - thank God on ur behalf

Ok, I'd like to share this story.
It's humorous that anytime I need to go to a court that is really far from home, I wake up early enough to get there before the court sits but if the court is close I still manage to be almost late or a little late. ��‍♂

So it was a "little late" to court day and I had really hope that my matter would be called early enough so I can head out. Alas! The cause list had 27 suits and mine was number 25!��‍♂

I wasn't happy and thought I'd have to sit through this whole suits doing nothing! But this was one of the interesting days in court(it's a matrimonial court).

A matter was called Chinese v Chinese (I can't give the real names), and a young lady looking good and beautiful stepped out as the Petitioner. In my mind, I said to myself if this woman came here because the husband is promiscuous, the man needs check up. There is nothing all the slay queens and side hen has that the wife doesn't possess, physically.

Well, she has filed for divorce stating she has not seen her husband since last year November, but that wasn't the real reason for her filing for divorce, here it is:

She has been married for 13 years and she has only had sexual intercourse with her husband 12 times �

There is a full story behind this.

thanks

and i was wondering (just this morning) if Lala love for snake don vanish.

booz:
Bros, considering the weights of the precast lintels and possibility of breaking, how did you get the up. Also, to be sure, it looks like you line the German floor with polythene, that should suffice for non-sticking, right?

100mm thick precast isn't small - just allow it set well for about a week before lifting them and Yes, the polythene / cement bag is to prevent them sticking to the surface......

Goodluck

EVERY DAY = A FULANI RELATED VIOLENCE

WHEN DID WE GET HERE?

na wa oh

issokay - if na BIG MONEY / POLITICIAN case, na 10 years before dem even see judge to listen to am.

kontinue

earthrealm:
ok thanks, can i send the detailed drawings to you?
guess i assumed you hv an excel sheet where you simply input the values, and it will crunch the numbers.
confirm if i can send the detailed drawing...thnks!

That wld be structural drawings NOT Architecture (remember we dealing with Beams, Slab & Irons majorly).

If you've got it - send it - BUT it won't be ready today...

earthrealm:
very nice great, kudos to OP.
was hoping i would see detailed analysis of the calculation for decking, ie qty of sand/gravel/cement and iron rods, the area is about 200sq meter.
could you walk me through the calculation??

the calculation can't be done without detailed or working drawings - just giving the area isn't enough - but what I can do with the area is apply a formular and tell you how much you would spend.

eg, concrete = 200 x 20k = 4 million ditto for Rebar.....

japhethGold:
Great project. I will start mine next year in Jesus Name. Amen

Morning - Remember your plan, hope its in progress?

@saydfact thanks for keeping to your promise of updating the thread with pictures of your Inspection Chamber cover.

went to deliver some polystyrene materials to a site close to one of saydfact site and I now checked on him saw some offcut of polystyrene boards with me and he request to use it for covering Inspection chambers, gave the boards out on the condition that he post the work on my page.
thanks for keeping to your word.

uwc -

I forgot to add that we needed less than 1 bag of cement to achieve this work - compare that to casting and reinforcing the normal chamber cover.

would have cost us much if we are to achieve this quality and thickness of 100mm (50cm poly + 30cm poly + 20cm (cover)

great value for money.... and all we needed were offcuts of polystyrene. thanks Teewhy

STEP 6 - GET IT WELL DRESSED BY AN EXPERIENCED HAND.....

STEP 5 - I joined both polystyrene and ready to finish it.

Note: The 5cm was placed beneath and the 3cm thick poly used to cover it.

(See the finished work on next page)

STEP 4 - I added similar mortar between the polystyrene so they can equally bond together with the rebar in-between

STEP 3 - I added cement / plaster sand mortar to the manhole top so the polystyrene can bound with it (like plastering mix)

STEP 2 - I made a small indent for 12mm rebars to strengthen over the opening - so it can carry human weight shd there be need to stand or sit on it.

The alignment of the rebar depended on the opening below it...
