More foundation filling

Re: Construction Of Fourbedroom Duplex And Two Unit Of Two Bedroom Flat @ Isheriopic by abdulwastecx(m): 9:57pm On Mar 22, 2017 |
After the foundation filling was completed, the filling was wet several time and allowed to consolidate for ten days before a large hand held compactor was used to compact the foundation for two days.

abdulwastecx: 1. I would expect a project of this magnitude would require granite instead of gravel.Can you explain why you chose gravel instead? 2.I want to believe Portland Dangote cement is a mistake or is there an hybrid of portland and dangote cement in the market? |

Placement of raft slab reinforcement : A brief description of the reinforcement pattern. Since, most of the slabs are two - ways spanning slab, the support reinforcement are placed at the bottom in accordance to the structural details while the span reinforcement are placed on top. The spacing of the slab is 250mm center to center and the still employed are 10mm high yield bars and 12mm high yield bars. We have a spacer to separate the bottom reinforcement from the top reinforcement. 1 Like

Marilo: What people in the south called granite is what I called gravel. I mean coarse aggregates. All the cement we use for concrete batching are called ordinary Portland cement. So, ordinary Portland dangote cement is the cement we buy commonly around which comes in a bag of 50kg |

abdulwastecx: my understanding is that for best results, your compaction should be done in 300mm layers; as in fill to 300mm ; compact fill to another 300mm; compact again whats the distance between the fence and the building? i am trying to remember LASPAA requirements/guidelines. for commercial buildings gap is supposed to be 3 metres between fence and building - or maybe even six metres. i do not recall the standard for residential 1 Like |
Re: Construction Of Fourbedroom Duplex And Two Unit Of Two Bedroom Flat @ Isheriopic by abdulwastecx(m): 10:40pm On Mar 22, 2017 |
oyb: The distance between the fence and the building is 3m and that is the local requirements. The best results will be to compact the soil in layers but that will be impossible to achieve considering the fact that the filling was done manually, you will need and excavator to to lift the soil into the rooms to compact in layovers of 300mm. The method use involved filling the out room first, then sand are moved to the inner rooms using wheel barrow. |
Re: Construction Of Fourbedroom Duplex And Two Unit Of Two Bedroom Flat @ Isheriopic by Nobody: 10:47pm On Mar 22, 2017 |
abdulwastecx: actually, it is doable with wheel barrows as you said. mark your 300mm levels, pour the sand and spread .your challenge would be the actual compaction - but that can be achieved with a plate compactor or even the local wood compactor. the roller was overkill for the foundation [imho]. |

EgunMogaji: doesnt need a roller they can use a plate compactor , or even a simple wooden cross arm, which manual labourers will use to tamp the filling we are in a protracted commissionig horror story on a project. we had the same issue described in this project on a much larger scale . we were filling the site up to a newly upgraded road level. so we sandfilled the site with roughly 700mm depth of sand; area of site was over 2000 sqm . for the building foundation and another substructure, our compaction was as i described. we used a roller for the driveway proper |

mufutau55:So many ways to go about it, list of materials without cost is welcome its left for whoever want to also build to do market surveys to know the costing. If you don't believe what Spyder880 quote, i don't wish any to believe sef because two ways, it may encourage you or discourage you. |

Marilo: There is generally misconception about "GRAVEL and GRANITE" Gravel. "Gravel /ˈɡrævəl/ is composed of unconsolidated rock fragments that have a general particle size range and include size classes from granule- to boulder-sized fragments"- wikipedia .Gravel is what is used for construction and is as different sizes ranging from granule to boulder size. Granite. "Granite (pronunciation: /ˈɡrænᵻt/) is a common type of felsic intrusive igneous rock that is granular and phaneritic in texture. Granites can be predominantly white, pink, or gray in color, depending on their mineralogy". This used for the production of tiles, countertops and other interior and exterior display of elegance |

Marilo:The first picture is gravel. This is the one used for Building construction. The second picture is commnonly called local stone, which is also a coarse aggregate. I am not familiar with the chemical properties to comment further on the stone. 1 Like |

oyb: Well, this team is a proven and known quantity on here. The decision to use the roller I'm sure wasn't casual. The roller and tamper are not equal. |
Re: Construction Of Fourbedroom Duplex And Two Unit Of Two Bedroom Flat @ Isheriopic by abdulwastecx(m): 11:46pm On Mar 22, 2017 |
Marilo: The first one is a gravel which is a coarse aggregate with a uniform sizes of not more than 19.5mm (3/4). The second type is a all in one aggregates ( a combination of coarse, fine aggregates and dust) this may occur naturally or from a rock |

podosci:Sir if the first picture is gravel, which type of stone is granite? Because I am sure so many engineers and stone suppliers refers to the first picture as granite. I would appreciate if stone suppliers and other engineers can join to clarify this. I thought granite is what is used on walkways in road construction, which is the first pic? Thanks. |
