Prefab homes are great but no one in the west will allow purely starked home up to 6 storeys simply because it's not safe to live in.

China and the Soviet build some of the shittiest construction, endangering the life of their people simply because regulations are non-existent in those climes.

When building a high rise, gravity load is a lesser consign than wind load and its effect on the building. How would a stalked building behave when the wind comes calling?

bixton:



How many Nigerians do you think would want to really actually literally live in a prefabricated home even if you make it free?

BiigTee:
Can you all see the amount of concrete that was cast to level the decking the a professional claimed to have supervised! No, look at it and tell me why I should feel happy! 10" of thick concrete! Even thicker than decking which is usually 6"

diordaves:


Spot on. That will not fly here in the UK. You will not get planning permission, no mortgage, no insurance. Like you, I will not live in such a home. Very communist-era concrete prefab. Yes: It is a shitty building.

KIDfurniture:
Remove all portion affected with scraper and reapply.
Black Cement type is far better . They have to scrap all portion affected and reapply

I think we’ve digressed from the main point.

China erect a 10 storey building in 28 hours.

Before we talk about how wind load act on the building envelope and everything they did wrong, we need to first remind ourselves that most construction giants here are still struggling with delivering a simple 5 bedroom duplex in less than 18 weeks let alone multifloor buildings.

I think we should take the good lessons and upgrade our construction methodologies.

Let’s not forget that the highly celebrated train stations, rails and coaches in Nigeria were built by the Chinese.

It’s better we don’t use the train too since the shitty guys built them.

diordaves:


If those trains were built in 48 hours to run on tracks perched on stilt bamboos; yes we shouldn't ride on such shitty trains. They are not safe.

I was thinking it going to occur in other part too!

People that factor natural disasters such as earth quakes into their designs. I wonder why we think they have not thought about wind.

Is your compound floor sealed ? Did the screeded parts come off during the rainy seasons only ? Was it all good during the hot season ?

gbadexy:

You bet it would. Hopefully not after it has been painted.

Abolarin91:
Definitely re-screeding those fall off part is not a the solution, I guess.

Laudbtc:
Engineers in the house, kindly help me review this estimate for electrical wiring because I feel it’s a bit too much

bobkezel:

Don't mind them, they think they are wiser than the Chinese engineers. They must have put all those into consideration and must have subjected them to a very harsh condition as a test before they are erected. And that is not the only prefabricated building in China, there are tons of it, yet we hear more of a building collapse in this our nature friendly country than China that has more natural disasters.

abdulwastecx:


If they factor earthquakes and other dynamic loading factors they wouldn't just be stacking up the building like that. We would all have to see all those earthquakes resisting members like shear walls, the brazing or they explain other the building will behave to withstand these loadings.

gordonbarrett:
You are right. However, nobody has sort explanation on how the building would react to such loads, based on their simulation of such scenarios, cause I know they do, even for a 200year weather event. You just concluded based on a video.

Well noted, thank you sir, your contribution are appreciated.That there picture didn't depict water ingress.
If you apply pressure or force in parts, they would fall off.
Only thing making portland cement screeding bond well is the addition of p.v.a binder in sufficient amount. It's basically what's binding it to any surface and not cement.
Cement can't react with calcium carbonate in pop emulsion paint like it would react with the silica in sand and it can't bond to surfaces like it would with sand mixture.
Cement would hydrate and harden smoothly but it's the organic binder that would improve it's adhesion.
Sufficient bond wasn't used like I earlier stated and let your painter get a stabilising solution.
That would improve the overall bonding and reduce absorption of paint when painting.
