Daboomb: Well, take this in the spirit it is being offered ... The beauty of this thread is that people come here to learn about a specific genre - Properties/construction. You used to be able to jump in at the latest page and follow a relevant discussion. If that discussion is from someone's previous enquiry - good, you can trace it all the way back and learn something. That is how we arrived at a discussion of your 'kuli-kuli' rain water collection system on Page 717. Now, people land on endless pages of 'restructuring' arguments and counter-arguments' and tend to visit less. PS: Last word on this so as not to be guilty of same tangential distraction thing I'm advocating against ;-) 3 Likes |

you are fine Sir. What most people does not know is that the exterior wall actually carry's less load that the partition wall in the building itself. The exterior walls usually carry's half the load that sits on it and in some cases, even a quarter of the load. The partition walls in the middle of the house carry direct loads from the roof squarely. Read up on Tributary Areas on columns for more details... Engineering!!! bigrovar: 1 Like |

GoodFaith: Due process will never work in Nigeria because of your skewed mentality. Fear will always work in Nigeria because the people bearing arms are using it to kill and brutalize the poor and innocent who have no means of bearing arms. Another type of fear which works in Nigeria is the fear of poverty. The North is scared stiff of a militant Niger Delta cutting off supply of crude oil. A military man will come from a tribe in Nigeria, and woe betide the person if he is not from the same North! A coup will topple him after 2 months and a northerner will replace him, then the cycle continues till eternity. If death didn't kill Abacha, do you think he will be off the presidential throne now? 1970 -1999 , a whole 29 years wasted by military madness, and someone is still talking about a good military man.

GoodFaith: Nigeria of the military rule under Buharri was a country ruled by a bunch of military boys who believes the best way to eradicate corruption was to beat the he'll out of ordinary Nigerians and lock up some politicians, allowing others to go free. It was a complete mess of human rights abuse and people being beaten publicly like animals, animals were treated better in some cases. Nigeria under the military rule under Babangida was a free for all looting spree with no watch. Abacha made sure Niger Delta oil money was only being saved in Abachas personal bank account in Switzerland. ![]() 1 Like |

GoodFaith: To prove you are serious, go and make phone calls near an army checkpoint and have someone video you while the soldiers beat the he'll out of you, let them torture you for 2 hours and leave you brutalized and bleeding from many parts of your body just because you made innocent phone calls. Is that The right punishment for such offence as is written in your zoo constitution? ![]() Was it right to throw Mrs. Ransom Kuti down from here upstairs house by unknown soldiers for an offence she didn't commit? ![]() Okay, let them arrest Osinbajo and lock him up for 300 years while they give Buharri a mere house arrest for the terrible bungling of the nations laws and throwing everyone into recession ![]() That's the type of injustice the army in Nigeria are known for. 1 Like |

GoodFaith: Please, don't think I am insulting you, but you are a bl**dy coward! Why not lead from the front, why not submit your own blood and the blood of your people for Nigeria to become great again. Your mates are setting themselves ablaze to create awareness to a rotten society and you are here flapping your mouth about some people giving their blood? All the blood flowing in Nigeria from the millions murdered in the 1966 pogroms to the millions who were slaughtered in the civil war to Saro Wiwa being hung, to Odi wipeout to Abiola and his wife to ElZakzaki and his shite family to Biafran protesters to Mile 12 killings to Fulani herdsmen free slaughtering is not enough blood letting to you?

true2home:True. Often times i see them shouting 9" block for external walls on this section, i just laugh. Most internal walls also carry load same as or even more than some external walls. Someone asked who made it a standard, no congent answer was given. 1 Like |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by spyder880(m): 9:12pm On Aug 29, 2017 |
snakebeat: I think the reasons for choosing 9" blocks for the external walls is only because of the decision for parapet and not for the roof weight. Sometimes, it's a better practice to provide for eventualities like a fascia which rests on the external walls and columns by using 9" blocks which will enable a wider column on the external part of the building. 5 Likes |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by Nobody: 9:25pm On Aug 29, 2017 |
spyder880: True, Sir. And astute architect/builders take roof load into consideration when deciding what block size to use for partitions. There's a reason for concrete "pliers" ![]() (Sorry Azuh, I couldn't help my self.) One of the funniest posts I've read in this section is Skimanski writing that he ran out of a building he went to look at in Lekki as soon as he saw what the builder did. I hope I didn't quote you wrong, El Maestro. |

spyder880:So many variations to reasons for 9" block external walls ![]() Honestly your reason is a very nice one. But from my years of practice and little knowledge about structures, colums sized 150mm centered at the right spacing can adequately carry the load of concrete fascia. BC Specified the use of 9" blocks for a reason for suspended floors. It is good if we also use it for bungalows, but not necessary as many portray it to be on here. 1 Like |

Big one, Presently Haulage is really making big waves now. With a capital of N30m you are sure of N3.5m every month, Interested individual contact me Calls/whatsapp: 08055545355, 08032887233 N30m presently can not buy a plot of land and build 4units of 3bedroom apartment(Economy class) also a 4units 3bedroom apartment can only get you a income of N3m a year.

It good to make block by oneself wen starting a bungalow but on my view I discouraged doing that for duplex or storey buildings. I prefer getting a good mode block from the factory for strength n retainability of bearing the duplex or storey load with adequate columns. And in place of cornice, it beautifies a design well n it type differs. Let's share minds on this. |
