SSpeter:
The beams and columns are structural members, a lintel is a beam. This is quite basic, I wonder the type of engineers we are raising this days. Cracks can occur due to flexural and shear stress that doesn't imply every crack will lead to shearing or simple cracks or settlement cracks will lead to shearing. These are basic 2D structures we are discussing here. Please don't go out and tell people that a Lintel is not a structural member so that you don't embarrass yourself.

Lintel is not a beam so not a structural member
Which one be 2D structures again?
What is crack and what is shearing?

In standard structures lintel run only across window and doors openings, shikena

In bungalows without both columns and beams, what is the function of lintel there?

Sincere ignorance is dangerous

So ur Edo brothers who are Igbos blocus lickers too are Agberos now..what a life 😂😂😂😂😂😂

Read to understand not just to comment
Oya go back and read slowly to comprehend

SSpeter:
Lintel is a structural member. The Lintel is a horizontal beam and not a demarcation. If you are good with your theory of structures you would have learnt about bending moments and shear force. I will reiterate that some cracks resulting from uneven settlement are not threatening. Cracks can even occur due to poor quality of mix. Cracks that are threatening are cracks due to stress from the live loads, external pressure (wind) and the dead loads (from poor structural calculations) those are the cracks that leads to shearing.

Using the Lintel beam to make the building a monolithic structure is an effective way to make the structure stable .

My area of expertise is project finance, however I took engineering courses in my undergrad days and I was very good at it

Lintel is not a structural member
Cracks is the same as shear

You don't have deep knowledge of the words you use here
Bending moment and shear force
Monolithic structure
Dead and live load

Since na project finance you did, I wont argue further with you......

Nigerian breweries and Coca Cola[b] fit dey import water from Delta and Anambra o. [/b]

You are here denying it but your other brothers are are saying that they are planning on working on irrigation. Keep deceiving yourselves.

Anyway, use this one hold body.

Lolz
You are not even sure.......

Like the way the won ins southeast after threatening and bullying everyone to vote for obi? You are tool. Keep deceiving your ipob miscreants.

An elderly man being assaulted just because he voted for apc. You ibos are the most intolerant people in nigeria

Poor parental upbringing at display here.
Take it eaay

Keep all these plans secret and surprise Nigerians with results

This is how Obi changed Anambra state that was run at the dictates of the UBA family as a family enterprise before Obi tenure.

People who complained and accused Obi of poor performance were those he displaced from their corrupt source of income.

Obi met a terrific Anambra taken over by touts and corrupt officials but sanitised and changed the narrative without media frenzy and shenanigans

That's leadership style of great leaders.

To wike demolition and destruction of property is good Governance

Umahi who ignorantly built concrete pavement of the Ebonyi airport runway that is costing the state additional money in Billions in converting to asphalt is going round advocating for concrete pavement on all our high ways without knowing the implications of such technology on some parts of the road....

Government that wants to end poverty with palliative is not just unserious but clueless and incompetent.

Army fit take over before his return
This I have seen

What is the population of Ebonyi state to have 3.6M poor people?

BeijinDossier:
Why not focus on the subjects the op raised instead yapping chino. You have been on nairaland for more than 15yrs yelling chino here and there. I think you really need odumeje to deliver you from mental health crisis because it is obviously clear that western medicine has failed you

The question is where exactly in Enugu is this happening? How do people import water from state to state in the same country?
Is he aware that
Nigerian breweries
Coca cola
Aqua Rapha table water cited their companies in Enugu because of the water quality and quantity found around 9th mile of Enugu?

Enugu having low literacy level?
Enugu a poor state?

The op needs mental examinations

042 is the code

If these reasons are the cause of building collapse.

Then why are building engineer not getting it right.

The question is are the right building Engineers usually used?

SSpeter:
differential settlement can only lead to cracks and this can be partly managed if the lintel is used effectively to chain the building and make it a monolithic struggle. However what we have here is a foundation failure

You are amateur in the field
Is cracks not clear sign of structural failure when it affects the structural members?
Learn this today, lintel is not a structural member in a building a reason why it is not considered during design of structures......its main function is just for demarcation of windows and doors....the so called chained sometimes can lead to collapse of structures.

Shalom.

LP can only win election in an environment of no rigging, thuggery and violence

Remove these menace and watch how fast the result will change and tilt to their favour

May Almighty God Save You From BAD NEWS

Is Praying For You, From Onitsha

Man way day work on bad news day chop from bad news.....always keep us updated

Pathetic
Most of these collapses of building are caused by differential settlement of the strip foundation
Seconded by wrong usage of the right reinforcement and placements


Either you consult a good Engineer and get it right or simply know that you can't eat your cake and have it.

Truly una no know anything about military junta

Mr know all
I was in Adamawa during last military regime and the Administrator was an Igbo man

Bubba marwa equally ruled Lagos.

Tell me something new and stop thinking we are kids here on NL

How long can the palliative go?

Violence everywhere

Nigerians should start getting ready, the youths without marshal art skills should start now before e go late.

Yet you think Tinubu has anything reasonable to offer Nigeria?

Happening in Tinubu Lagos?

Who destroyed the Eldorado Lagos Tinubu built?

May the relocation favour them and all the agbado miscreants

Captain Chukwuemeka at Ochanja barrack or the one at upper Iweka barrack?

Who is the chief of Naval staff again?

Burob:
Ok, we now know, why he lost the general election despite winning in Lagos State & Anambra.

Rivers
Borno
Kano
Sokoto
Ekiti
Gun

Was there free and fair election there?
Why was the result secretly announced in the dead of the night?

Obi wins where free and fair elections are conducted

Na you wan love Nigeria pass MannaBBQ..😂?

That nigga literally stopped living and dedicated his entire existence to laundering Buhari's government on nairaland, for EIGHT complete years. All he got for it was his fish grilling stand. He has retired today and occasionally lends a voice to the APC course like an elder statesman. He's been mentoring LegendHero and the other nigga who's been scamming[b] nairalanders with FreeStuffs. [/b]

So calm down Helinues. Your political asslicking dey learn work for where Manna own get two PhDs.

so the op should post recent pictures next time

Recent pictures will surely be too scary

Happy birthday to Mr Peter Obi former governor of Anambra state, may this year brings you wisdom and help you accept reality as it is. May your enemies in disguise not lead you astray. We love you llnp

What is the standard speed that is acceptable to you to challenge libelous claims made against both a private citizen and the highest court in the land?

If I was your employer and you came up with this moronic logic, I will fire you immediately.

It will simply signify that your employee has higher logical sense and better emotional intelligence than you.

I hardly engage kid/ nonent-_+ities

You simply believe capt Chukwuemeka cannot be administrator of any south west state?

What a warped thinking from someone who doesn't engage kids.
