EgunMogaji:


1) Nigerians don't embrace technology easily. But not to worry, the Chinese will come in, introduce it and make you guys their slaves all over again.

2) Instead of staying here being just another frustrated EgunMogajiHolic, why don't you stop being just another #LazyNigerianYouth and lead the charge? Abi those using it have two heads?

3) What's stopping you from positioning yourself as the future supplier of bamboo?

You guys were given brains yet you fail to use a small percentage of it.

Nigerians don't embrace technology & u employed one uneducated local bricklayer to build your house?? I am convinced u are still owning him some balance...Poor old hypocrite!
U couldn't even afford any of the educated nairaland engineers to visit to your site for 2hrs? & u talk about embracing technology?? U are just nothing but a fat failed pig...

Show us one technological approach u used in your building? Mr exposed...
Go use bamboos as reinforcement in your building & post pictures before spewing trash...
U used steel as reinforcement for all concrete works in your building, here u are encouraging people to make use of bamboos...Senseless poor old fool...

The baamboo theory...

Rubbiish:

Okay sir.
Just hope when it breakthrough, bamboos will not be more expensive than rods in Nigeria. Lol

That will not be possible because that is the essence of all the research. to bring down the cost of construction by elimination steel in the process.

Thanks to the MOd you thought it wise to hide those posts filled with insults...Great Job!

It will also be nice if the Person(s) who ve used such words be banned as the rules of this forum suggests.

It is becoming increasingly difficult to learn anything here or have a meaningful discussion on here cos once you ve a contray opinion and you voice it out..you get called all sorts of names by "Mr Exposed".

Thanks

It will be serving the entire complex, so about 10 bedrooms.

For the electrical wires on the pole, how many mm are those?

I appreciate the education, Sir.

no be small thing.
Lord provide for the poor so we can build 10 room complexes

@EgunMogaji the worst you and your gang will do here is to suspend me but when I come back I will continue with my mission of calling out your BS you post here. Look at other respected members here and respect your old homo age

Wow
This is interesting,hope the building will still be as strong as it would be if you used rods for the pillers.

I told u earlier but u hardly believe me these set of people are nothing but enemies of progress if u can recall the other day u brought up issue of payment before production instead of them to look for solution they wey here talking trash but I believe that sales is not mine becos if not the issue will not reach this thread..

Good one Mr Kenny.

Could you beleived that this bamboo is been in existence for yrs, if you check those old hurt in remote area some of there red mould hurt have bamboo.

But the system they used then is diff, they use to pieces it and tie them then mould around it.

That is to say "Native intelligence" has metamorphosed to construction and engineering intelligence,

Thanks for taking time to research into this rotech77and co, who knows this may be the new approach into building technology in Nigeria

I won't use it at all. Let those Naija termite soldiers get into it and the whole thing will come crumble... they no sabi eat steel.

Treated or no treated... those our Termites wey dey eat blocks.
I will not have rest of mind, to try it o... But it's a good thing when well implemented...

Once it's inside the concrete termites can never gain access to it.
Unless if nna terminal wey village people send.

But those old houses I talk about termites doesn't attack them o

True sir, I reckon termite wouldn't be able to have access to it since it would be encased within the concrete. Besides, concrete would still be slightly alkaline.
I've often wondered about reinforced concrete, if the iron provides structural support or merely provides more stable frame for the concrete to be formed.
The iron used for pillars couldn't support the structures alone the way I see them without the concrete.
Whatever the final research is, your submission about it being used in old mud house is a time tested fact, albeit not in a storey building.
The structure would still need to be painted good quality weather protective paint to protect from rot as wood treatment chemicals are water soluble and susceptible to rot same way the iron on concrete rust due to long term weathering.

Thank you for the link sir. it's a very enlightening article.
Our In house engineers and proponents of bamboo use should check out the link also.
It obviously has advantages to steel according to the article, especially tensile strength, flexibility, higher temperature stability, etc.
left to make a choice though, I would not want to use my build as a research material .

Hello my bosses. Does panel doors come with its frames? If it doesn't what is the price idea of fixing a 3ft door frame.

Now you are talking. I will use it five years after Twinskenny used it in his build.

These are well-processed and infused with chemicals that repel such insects.
The problem is that we try to use our own, raw from the swamp.
Bamboo theory is as old as China itself.
You just need to see the wonderful build-things they have done with bamboo

And mind you, those building 'iron' rods also rust with time, unless you are building with stainless Steel.

I am fascinated with the bamboo technology, I wouldn't mind to risk it for a 2 or 3 bedroom apartment as a trial /research bases, but to get it properly treated the way the Chinese did theirs might be a challenge if not I don't mind to try the technology and if it stands the test of time in Nigeria, l might advertise it to the government using the prototype l constructed as an example, who knows, those in government might buy into it and give me 100 billion to invest in mass housing in Nigeria, l will call spyder880., Abdulwastecx and several Engineers on here to be in charge

I really like the designs possible with the use of bamboo. The use of bamboo only for building houses isn't entirely new in Nigeria. My grandfather's house was built with it before my father and the rest of the family brought it down and built brick/block house.
My mum used to tell me they could see the stars outside when sleeping and the mosquitoes were terrible. I think I faintly recollect staying there but it could the stories my mum told me creating impression on my mind.
I couldn't say if they do any special preservation against rot and termite or if they simply frequently replaced affected bamboos in the building though.
One of the disadvantages of the bamboo in the previous article you posted the link says it shrinks considerably when dry, so it would have to be sufficiently processed with preservatives and allowed to dry totally before it could be tested as an alternate building material and only a company with specialized machineries and standard laboratory could do that.
Most of the structures in the link posted are not storey building and many people here won't mind doing it if we don't have bad mouth generally in Africa. such owner would be called a poor person or a miser living in a bamboo house no matter how innovative and aesthetically pleasing it's made to look. We would sha coin one derogatory name that would discourage the look except some celebrities use them.
The picture you posted of it used as a possible reinforcement for concrete floor looks very promising but I think this is where an entrepreneur should come in by having samples shaped to desired sizes, treated and tested in a government approved or owned material laboratory to give backing to claims of its high tensile strength and other properties and also using it as reinforcement for floor and other low structures and have it tested.
If confirmed, the entrepreneur would then have to create awareness for it and even hold seminars for registered engineers showcasing it's effectiveness. it's even possible to get invited for the builders associations annual meeting and demonstrate it.
No builder would want to stake his or her reputation on unproven technology. The onus lies on an entrepreneur to come take the risk and reap the benefits.

Happy New month to you all.

Exactly sir. I just responded to my mention and I just went through your post now.
That's the spirit. it's the adventurous mindset that could yield tremendous benefits.

Gbam, no venture no success, practical ideas rules the world, I was in a conversation few days ago with an Uber driver, I told him that Uber has no cars on it's platform but it came with an idea to link passengers to car owners, Uber is swimming in billions of naira globally just with a simple idea, who knows bamboo technology might be another Uber in the making in Nigeria as long as it is cheaper and affordable
