abdulwastecx: Thanks to you and Brabus, for shedding light on this practice. In my own opinion, l believe "Construction" ...is a SCIENCE. Thus, l know that Engineers just dont decide 'randomly', on how many pipes to put, where to put it, size/thickness of pipes to put, e.t.c. What is the Equation/Formula or "Scientific guiding principle" in this sort of practice? Does anyone have a handle on such scientific formula? I am thinking that we can save a lot of cost, even use less costly foundation and build on not so solid soils, if we can limit the weight of out Slabs, columns and beams..... while not sacrificing structural integrity.

n3xt: I suspect what you have in mind is not what we are referring to? Conduit purposes? YES! Weight Reduction? NO! As Abdulwastecx has shown, the thing involves a lot for Engineering calculations to avoid 'failure' of the Concrete involved. I am just imagining, if l could eliminate about 40% total weight from a building, that building could / will float on a soil it is assumed not to be capable of floating on, without expensive Foundations like inverted raft, Piles, e.t.c. That could be like #7Million+ saved, for a two storey building Thanks for those pictures,l gbadun them. Lastpage! |

lastpage:Bro no need for long story, U miss understood what I was trying to say, its simple, if you car comes out of a box ie a KIT CAR,when you register it your number must start with Q, Q is reserved for these kind of vehicles your normal car ie BMW's Audi's and Toyota can not and never have a Q plate if modified B4 registration, I added Egun cos it was him I was discussing Q plate with cos I know him back in the days on his past moniker on the Auto section B4 as Usual you jumped in with ITK dismissing me with your *Vibes* comment.You want to lecture me about something I have lived with for 16 years.AND THATS THE BIT I DO NO LIKE ABOUT YOU.You talking about Google, I recommend you use it next time B4 you term someone broadcasting *vibes*It would do you a load of good if you just admit ur errors instead of justifying yourself with these long colorful comments and save yourself some embarrassment as usual. 4 Likes |

lastpage: you are right sir... i am also on the same page with you on the amount of money that can be saved if we use some modern method of building construction. one major weight contributor to residential reinforced concrete structure is the "suspended slab and beam ", if this slab concrete section can be reduce, the weight will significantly reduce and dependent members like column, foundation footing will be reduced drastically. I will highlight some of these construction method that can be changed a little bit to reduce cost. 1. isolated footings, combing footings or continuous footing and strip footings can be changed to on isolated/combine and continuous footings with grade beam, this will eliminates the need for sub structural work in most cases. the foundation wall for bungalow or one storey building only provide lateral brazing to the foundation columns and sometime help to carry ground floor wall. instead of building 1.8 meters (six couches of blocks in most cases) that will run into millions, the foundation column can be design as unbrazed column with fixed joint at the pad surface and DPC level. A grade beam can then be introduced on the ground surface with sufficient depth to links the foundation column, provide top restrain, carries the foundation wall and carries the DPC. |

erico2k2: Assuming l misunderstood what you are trying to say (as you said)...whats the big deal in that ?, that you need to write another Fullscap page, to explain what Q-Plate is, despite many, many explanations, including free Google, in previous post! You actually think you are trying to embarras me? .......just because "l did not get what you are trying to say? Cheesux Christ! LKWMD! ....You must be high on some cheap stuff this afternoon! Well, it is not my fault that you cant construct sentences properly .....to "actually convey succinctly", what you have in mind"? Maybe l should post you a certificate for knowing what Q-Plate is..... so you can frame it and hang it on your neck! Some of you here think too much of yourself! Why do you keep on harping about "Liking me"? if l knew you in real life, maybe l will give a rat-azz about' you liking me' .... but do l give a fphuck about some faceless, inconsequential-wannabe,....... liking me? Nobody likes me, I dont want anyone to like me, l like Nobody! I dont give a hoot. I roll alone. Its not relevant at all. End of story! Look, l dont have time for personal issues with "one time scorers" like you..... let me enjoy my Euro 2016 tournament. 1 - 0 (Ireland Sweden ...game-on) Edit: Ibrahimovich turns provider, with an 'O.G'!
