maxnedu11: why the emphasis on curved beams?? Torsion is caused by shear stress/forces correct? Do straight rods easily develop twisting moment when used in cantilever beams? Curious civil engineering student. 1 Like |

jesusdiedLOL: Not sure of the name or if it can be called an aggregate but there’s something that you can add to a concrete mix to make it flow better. |

Please house, how common is damp proofing in Nigeria? Is it neccesary to damp proof walls made with solid blocks? Should you damp proof irrespective of any factor? |

EgunMogaji:Admixtures? |

EgunMogaji: how much more aesthetically pleasing is a momolithic floor compared to a tilled floor what about cost implications?? Is it cheaper? |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by Nobody: 5:50pm On Feb 19, 2018 |
jesusdiedLOL: In Nigeria they don’t do polished floors so you’ll still cover it with tile. Cost is what it, just another line item in throwing up a proper structure. IMHO. |

EgunMogaji: But why do a monolithic floor if you are just going to cover it up with tiles?? One advantage of this floor is that nothing seeps through (no foreign germinations underneath) as opposed to tiles which posses grouts |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by Nobody: 6:07pm On Feb 19, 2018 |
jesusdiedLOL: I did on mine because I paid attention to the pros both on here and in real life. When Spyder880 built his own house on here he did a monolithic floor. That’s good enough for me. What I did not do was a moisture barrier. |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by jesusdiedLOL(m): 6:14pm On Feb 19, 2018 |
EgunMogaji: okay. I dont know a lot about this type of floor, saw it on here for the first time and did a quick google search so i do not have all the information |

EgunMogaji: is monolithic floor still same as epoxy floor |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by Nobody: 6:46pm On Feb 19, 2018 |
adeyanwale5: No, at least not in the Nigerian context. Monolithic floor (slab) is commonly referred to as German floor. |

MODALSOUL1:Sir i don't think the bold has to do with smartness, but cost & contentment. It is better to live in a completed bungalow with peace of mind, than an uncompleted two storey building with debts & sleepless night... & not everyone fancy going up due to age factor... 3 Likes |

Regarding costs, which is more expensive, a 4,000 square feet bungalow or a 1,000 square feet duplex? Give me a sprawling bungalow or give me death. 1 Like |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by mufutau55(m): 7:36pm On Feb 19, 2018 |
EgunMogaji: I think the decking cost alone will crush the cost difference of the 3000 square feet. Too many factors in building duplex. It's a matter of choice though and lack of land space. Hajji M. 1 Like |
