Quality job

Charisdesigns:

The primary purpose of BRC wiremesh is adding strength to your oversite concrete. Been made of steel (Structural), we introduce it to oversite concrete to provide strength to the floor, therefore acting against crack.

Take for instance, A place with high movement traffic, or think about most heavy equipment we keep on the floor in our houses (Live loads), overtime fatigue might set in on the concrete, it is the function of the Wiremesh in the concrete to receive and help spread the load

See it this way, Wiremesh serves the same purpose steel bars serves in Reinforced concrete slab.

————————

To the best of my knowledge, the two main reason why German floor is done is to provide
Strength and Act against capillary Action

While Wiremesh along side Hardcore placement, Effective ramming acts for the former, DPM (Damprove membrane) acts for the later

I hope my answer is specific to your question
Good morning and happy new year once more.

Flat roof.
German floor.
Parapet.
Coach.
Etc.
We use them as defined by brikila. Even PhD civil engineers find it difficult to educate these brikilas.

babadots:



Thank you, I get the specific context in which you are addressing this topic and you have done a good job.

The bit that got me worried was the placement of reinforcement in floor slabs.

What you were referring to in the thread is temperature and shrinkage reinforcement rather than structural reinforcement. Only shrinkage/temperature reinforcement requires top placement of the steel. And that would be because the lower part of the slab wouldn't be undergoing a massive amount of tensile stress, because it rests on the hardcore. We would have a massive structural failure and collapse if structural reinforcement is placed at the top section of a normal reinforced concrete slab,

I thought it was worth making this clear because we have a lot of people using this forum as their main Knowledge Base and lives depend on professionals doing the right thing.

Thank you for taking the time to break it down and happy New year to you and the forum family.

I would wanna post this for knowledge's sake. We learn everyday.
I too didn't know it's precise name untill a client approached me from here and we did the design. (Building supervision inclusive)
These are 2 monopitches, the heights vary from one another, therefore, it ain't even a gabble but skillion roof.
Note: it is closer to a gable but it is not a gable.

When it comes to roofing, here's my own piece.
Roof according to function and not cost.
The first thing to consider is functionality, then you can relate it with cost.

smallsmall:


Speaking from a Practical point of View, how come all those Bungalow Houses (and even some Storey buildings) built almost 100years ago and without a German Floor (Well-built, as l mentioned) are still standing firm, while some recent ones with German Floors have collapsed?

When did the concept of German floor even enter Nigeria's building technology?
Mind you, l am not saying German Floor is bad or unnecessary at all, but l am saying that you can "build successfully" without it, under certain conditions. The evidence is there for all to see,
Nigerians generally dont explore options, once something is in Vogue, everybody joins the bandwagon and take it as gospel truth.

If you want to condemn a Post, you better do so with your points laid out, not just a one-liner as if you are some PhD Civil Engineer.
It reeks of arrogance.

Adegunle4:


Comrade...all these you wrote does not define or explain what a flat roof is to a layman.

3rd of January 2022.

Update:

Got a text from him about calling in the evening, replied later that the call be made later the next day (1st of Jan) which hasn't been received.

Saw 2 missed calls around 11 pm or thereabout on the 31st (Was not available to pick calls at that time of the night).

Also sent a WhatsApp message on the 1st of January, but got no response just as the previous ones sent (3rd, 8th, and 26th Dec).

As of today, nothing has changed and no concrete communication whatsoever on the refund.

When I started using pen�️ in my primary school, and I made a mistake, I would try hard to erase it before submitting to my teacher.
Sometimes, I use chalk�️to clean my mistake but it later re-appeared.
So I began to use saliva, it worked, but only to leave holes in my books.
My teachers then used to beat me for being outrageously dirty. But all I tried to do was to cover my error.
One day, a kind hearted teacher who loved me so much called me aside and he said, " Anytime you make a mistake, just cross it❌and move on.���
He said further " Trying to erase your mistakes would only damage your book to nothing. I told him in protest that I don't want people to see my mistake. My loving teacher laughed and said " Trying to erase your mistake will make more people know about your mess and the stigma is for life.
HAVE YOU MADE SOME MISTAKES IN LIFE??
Cross it over and move on....2022 is for you
Don't expose yourself as a result of trying to cover your mistakes.
Better things are ahead of you....... believe!

Conflicts are inevitable part of our daily living. They do not need to ruin or redefine our relationship with people. They just need to be addressed and resolved rather than allowing our frustrations to build up because issues are not maturely addressed.

I’m not here to discuss who was right or wrong. Who ought to call or not. We just need to move forward.



I understand this hence the reason I didn’t bother to ring you the 3rd time. I could have called earlier but I was on my way traveling that night.

I could have done 1st and 2nd Jan but I know those are days we would be busy with our families and loved ones.



If you ask me as a neutral person, what’s the best way to deal with the issues at hand? I’d say “Have a conversation (one-on-one) with the other person involved.”

Unfortunately my Whatsapp messenger app has been acting funny lately and your request to me was to do a voice note which shows to me you might be busy or not ready for an open discussion.



Avoiding open discussion is not only dysfunctional. It is counterproductive.

When we refuse to communicate, simple misunderstandings often degenerate into long-term and systemic challenges like we are right now....

...speak with the QS
...speak with Mr Fortune
...explain to nairaland


To make things clear, I don’t do “we” against “them” and I don’t assume other people’s position. When issues arise, I deal with them.

somehow:
There is no "discussion" that hasn't been done already. where we are is a refund.
The era of discussing with Mr. Fortune, QS etc has elapsed. We had that for months. (You obviously do the talking here and not directly with me on whatsapp)

You already know how much I have requested from what the QS valued (after considering most of what you came up with).

And you also know when I want this refund (I already paid you the money, so it's not a case of you trying to gather it) because you're expected to have the money in your account since you haven't used it for the intended purpose.

If you wanted to truly get in touch with me, you would have done it earlier than 11 pm you called me if it was important to you. If you can call by 11 pm on a 31st night, calling on the 1st or 2nd shouldn't be an issue.

At the stage we are, I would want to have something to reference, hence the voice note or WhatsApp chat as requested by me.

Lastly, what I want to be hearing or reading from you now is when I should be expecting an alert in the next 4 days. (2M from the 2.45m)

Once an alert is gotten, this chapter gets closed.

If I am not a reasonable person, we wouldn't be talking about my refund 7 months after.

What actually Is a Flat Roof?

In contrast from the well-known pitched roof designs, a flat roof has a slope of about 10 degrees or less. It’s, therefore, not actually flat!

The slope is introduced to help extend the life of the roofing system.

Pic 2 - Hidden monoslope roof (proposed), Badore 2015
Pic 3 - Hidden butterfly roof (inversion of gable roof design), Badore 2015

Bakin3:
The Bio Digester Toilet System is an alternative method in human waste management. The system works by biodegrading human waste while wastewater is is bio-filtered before being released to the top layer of the soil. This system perfectly solves all the known challenges of the conventional system of human waste management. The technology was developed in India and is already in use in countries like Ghana, Tanzania, Kenya etc.

Listed below are some of the STRONGEST REASONS we should use the BIO DIGESTER SYSTEM.

No energy required to operate the Bio-Digester

Very little amount of sludge generated because of lower biomass produced in the absence of oxygen

Aerobic process inactivates the pathogens present in the human waste matter

No bad smell in toilets or from the Bio-Digester Tanks

No infestation of cockroaches and flies

Faecal matter in the tank not visible

No clogging of digester

Effluent is free from offensive odours, solid waste and does not contaminate the ground water / soil like other systems do

No maintenance required

Reduction in organic matter by 90%

No requirement of topping up with any bacteria/enzyme

No need of removal of solid waste

Affordable and requires just little space to install
