For sale... make an offer.

You no wan jack engine again.

Good afternoon all, please can a bungalow without pillars or columns carry a precast parapet? And also stone coated roofing sheets?

Yes it can, but the question is at what cost and what bears the brunt?

if you'll be using stone coated sheets and a parapet it comes highly recommended that you should have columns on your build.

micxwell:
Hmmm "minimum", Thanks bro. Happy Sunday

Same to you.

Are you looking at getting a brand new system or used one?

That budget would easily get a used one.

I don't know about brand new.

micxwell:
Welldone to all the able Engineers in the house!
Hakeem4, I hail you. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us all.

My laptops were stolen sometimes last year and I've been managing an old Dell laptop.

Now, I intend to buy myself a laptop and I'm trying to balance specifications and costs. Please what's the specification of the laptop you guys currently use or preferably what would you recommend for me as a design Engineer.

Thanks.

PS: I intend to buy something that will be useful for me at least 3-4years from now!
Screen size >=15.6inches
Budget: 300-400k.


cc: sconp, feeloscar, yungmin, ubatech

That's a nice budget.

I'd recommend a laptop with the below specs, I consider them minimum specs and won't go below them, you can go above though.

8GB Ram
256/512 GB SSD or 1TB HDD (I prefer SSD though).
2.5 - 3.0 GHz processor speed
Core i7 - 5th generation.
Nvidia graphics - 2GB

Sailor1:
50 ema... You can change the settings on binance

Thanks

Sailor1:
Just to share....
These are daily charts of majors going back to December... They tell a similar picture.... Buying the retest of the 21ema in a bull run is not necessarily a bad idea.

Of course you can have fakeouts like ada (no free lunch in this market) and they'd untimately breakdown one day...

With trading alyts, entry is everything... Having an idea of a good time to enter and exit will save you loads... Dosent need to be 100% accurate (no strategy is) but it needs to be one you can finetune to be profitable in the long run.

P.s. this is better with strong coins that have structure... With micros, it's a bit different

Nice. I know the yellow line is the 21 daily ema, what's the value of the maroon coloured ema?

did you download it ?

Pls don't take it down yet.

Struggling with my network

Some sellers should be blacklisted on this thread.
What’s the need of advertising when you will not be available for enquiry or people that want to buy? O wrong nau

Nah, People should just learn to ignore her, mention the issue for prospective buyers to see and walkaway.

No need to blacklist or blame or even linger on the matter.

KingKingKing:
It is any of these three

i926:
More like her fantasy.

There's nothing really special about what she wrote though, I wonder why you find it hard to believe.

n3xt:
I was engaged to do a build in an estate that has a lot of restrictions on how and what can be built.
On this particular build, the major challenge is height restriction. You cannot have 3 floors regardless the size of your land.

The project designer was informed about this and was asked to redesign the project to satisfy the estate’s building requirements.

This took almost 1 year of back-n-forth and revisions with the estate’s design team. It was at this point I was engaged to redesign the first floor to reflect and achieve the proposed changes.

I engaged about 2 architects here that couldn’t get the job done until I met the young lad who introduced the concept of a double volume rooms in the upper floor. He also proposed the use of steel for the proposed slabs.

We met the estate’s requirements and was also able to achieve our goals.


______

To get approval for building in this estate is harder than getting approval from Lagos state.

Interesting. Reads more like the guy is an architect rather than a structural guy.

Thanks for the breakdown.

Collaboration with stakeholders, this include clients and other team members of the organization in delivery of quality services and products while containing cost, all in a timely and effiuciant manner.

Check well, I think you quoted the wrong person.

n3xt:
Raising the bar is just a piece of cake. I do all I can to reward the people that add value to my builds.

Interestingly, it’s not just money but something worth more.


________
The young lad handling my structural designs was a Unilag student when I met him and he was able to deliver what a very popular “big name” in naija construction industry could not achieve in a year within 3 weeks.

He handles 99% of my drawings since 2015.

If it's not much of a hassle could you state what this is?

2 LG G5 with defective screen for sale or swap with lg V20, g6 or v30

Hi, is any of these still available?

Sailor1 or anyone who knows, is it possible to short on this coins the same way one would short a currency in forex? Cos I am thinking, after all these bull runs, when the dumping starts a good short should do mega magic.

hakeem4:
haaaa you’d have to wait for me to get to the office so I can upload it again

Thanks for the gesture boss, I updated to the update 5 already.

hakeem4:
Well, I have not tried it yet.

do you happen to still have any link for the update 4? I noticed it's been deleted from your drive. I downloaded just one part.

hakeem4:
yeah! Not much difference. Just Chinese steel design module and design of water retaining structures on rcdc. Then cloud analysis

https://downloadly.ir/software/engineering-specialized/bentley-staad-1/

Nice. That means FEM type of structures can now be done in RCDC.

You are on update 5 already?

hakeem4:
There’s no law that restricts you for your purlin spacings. Try and increase the spacing the forces would reduce from my experience. but don’t make your purlins spacing exceed 2m from practical POV

picture is a roof truss I design with 25m span. Purlins spacing of 2m

Nice I will try that.
Though at the moment 2L80x80x10 is able to take care of it.

wow

hakeem4:
sconp did the architect restrict your truss depth? can you reconfigure your truss members so you do not have too many struts and ties?

Yes he did, though he has said I can go as high as 2m now. The struts spacing are to coincide with the purlins, max spacing 1.5m

yungmin:
Bro, that section is still quite small. I did a 40m span mansard truss sometime ago. The sizes I got for both top and bottom chords where L200x200x16. You know if you are to use parallel chord truss for this problem, your span/depth ratio should be in the range of 15 to 25. In other words, you need a minimum of 2meters depth of the truss.

In the analysis I did for this, the lowest section I could get was L150x150x15. I intend using span/depth ratio of 10-15 for the parallel chord truss I would do. What did you end up using for the mansard you did?

sconp:
Can a 75x75x6 double angle section replace a 150x150x10 single angle section theoretically?

This was the question I was referring to though. cc: yungmin

hakeem4:
Copy the command file and paste it here on NL

I tried to post the command file but NL said it was too long. I have attached the model.
I stripped it bare, no wind load.

Loads were applied on the purlins, I have another model where I applied the loads nodally and that was the one that gave the least section(L150x150x15) I have gotten so far

Thanks

yungmin:
Check the span / depth ratio to be very sure it is correct. Otherwise the members would continue to be very heavy. Pls reference truss design in the steel designers manual. Also explore portal frame system as suggested by @Hakeem.

Thanks, yes I am referencing SDM.
I'll appreciate if you can do justice to that question above on single and double angle sections.

hakeem4:
sconp can you send me your model let me try

I'll do that thanks.

yungmin:
Why not change it to I or H beam? And also, try double angle or Channel section. And above all, I hope you used the required height for the truss? And more so, what type of truss? You should use a parallel chord truss for that span.

Can't use a H-Beam. I intend to use a double angle section like you posited. The truss is a sort of combination between warren and Pratt, see attached diagram (450mm and 1500mm).
I would change truss type to parallel chord with required height and get back to you.

Can a 75x75x6 double angle section replace a 150x150x10 single angle section theoretically? Doesn't seem to work that way on staad or I am probably not doing it right.

Thanks.

hakeem4:
use back to back angle (double angle) as yungmin suggested. Must it be a truss? Why don’t you try portal frame or linto roof style

I intend to switch to portal frame as a last resort if I can't figure the truss out, someone who doesn't use staad thinks it's possible to get something far lower.

I have a steel problem o. I am designing a 30m truss and ending up with a very heavy angle section. Anyone have a way I can reduce it or get a more economic section?

brogxy:
People hardly listen to this/such advice.

Sometimes, not because they don't want to listen but their present predicament might not allow for such advice.

nohitch:
Ok I’ll check

It's very important to me. I would appreciate if you can help.

nohitch:
hey man i Get you

But then, when you follow someone who has seen the failures and makes you follow the success stories he has had..the tough journey becomes less stressful

Hi nohitch, I sent a particular mail to you which is of great interest to me. I would appreciate if you could check it and get back to me. I'll resend this particular mail, it'll come from "CS********@gmail.com"

topsy23:
The quantities are okay since your electrical gave you the list..

I don't know the type of cable he is buying . Tell him to get you original cables

Alright thanks.
