Daboomb: Hello sir. I am yet to be able to distinguish between granite and gravel. In my location, they break the rock chippings from rocks/mountains around the area. We buy directly from the labourers who break them and collect them in heaps. Are these considered granites or gravel? I strongly believe its the former though. The picx attached is an example of such chippings.

In another related news, although it's been a while i visited this thread, but i can't help but notice that the frequency of ongoing building projects being shared on here has reduced. I know the recession contributed to this. I usually enjoy following the building diaries captured in pictures and explanatory notes. I gained a lot from such threads. If you are following any such threads (recently created), kindly share the link with me pls. Thanks in anticipation. May God bless our hussles. |

Wagasigiungu:Thank is granite, granite are crush limestone while we have two type of gravel, Bush gravel and wash gravel actually wash gravel is from bush gravel but is better than unwashed gravel. |

Chekitaut: No be small thing. To imagine that such thickness of iron rods isn't even as strong and a wood!!! Quite scary. More reason to patronize someone you can trust and who has a good track record of genuine product sales. 1 Like |

Wagasigiungu: It looks like Granite though picture is not so clear to feel the texture. Chekitaut: The basic definition (as opposed to just using color since some gravels can also have that greyish color) is to note that Granite are IGNEOUS ROCK. Their texture is glassy, grey and irregularly shaped when crushed. If what they are breaking in that picture, in his location, is an Igneous rock, then what comes out of it will be granite. 2 Likes |

Chekitaut: Sir, what you mean that granite is crush Limestone? Sir, Granite is Igneous rock Limestone is a sedimentary rock (due to deposition of sediment) Metamorphosed Granite is Gneiss. So for our chipping in Nigeria it either Granite or Gneiss they crush to different sizes. why we have more of Granite in the North, west and middle belt of Nigeria is due to the basement complex. The little granite you see in southern Nigeria are due to intrusions through fault and fractions in earth crust. On the other hand the Limestone deposited is favor by deposition in marine environment. Limestone metamorphose to marble (under very High temperature, pressure and other complex conditions) Summary: Limestone Not Granite. 2 Likes |

Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by gabbytabby: 8:54am On Jun 19, 2018 |
It's probably blinding which is a must before laying blocks usually 3 to 4 inches thick. educhigo: 1 Like |

please urgent advice needed picture added,i have some question because i have some problem with my engineer,did the entrance door curve goes with the linter or after linter

Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by diordaves(m): 1:13pm On Jun 19, 2018 |
gabbytabby:So very true. Concrete the foundation BEFORE laying blocks is the give away. Yes, it might be blinding. |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by diordaves(m): 1:17pm On Jun 19, 2018 |
educhigo: Should go with the lintel. What's the problem? The curve design may have been constructed by the carpenter if cost and materials of execution are the problem. |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by diordaves(m): 1:20pm On Jun 19, 2018 |
Iruosonobrugwhe: This is not new. It's as strong as the traditional design but less costly, timely and better aesthetics. I've done same. |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by gabbytabby: 2:18pm On Jun 19, 2018 |
educhigo:It's usually done at the same time as the linted, The linted is at 10coach while the highest part of the curve is at 11 coach. 1 Like |

I've noticed a lot of confusion about granite and gravel. Based on knowledge of geology, granite is not limestone. Granite is an igneous rock, while limestone is a sedimentary rock. Most people now use crushed granite (or the slightly métamorphosed equivalent "granite gneiss" ) as aggregate in concrete, I don't know if limestone can also be used. Gravel can be derived in two ways, some are deposited just like sand and where they can be mined. They usually consist of different types rock fragments which have been eroded, transported (reason why they are usually rounded) and deposited in the current location. Rock fragment present might included, granite, quartzite, gneiss, iron stone e.t.c and many other rock type. The other type that is also referred to as gravel is quartzite rock which is usually massive, But require less effort to break due to the presence of high amount of fracture. It sometimes occur with laterite (weathering of the rock produces laterite) Chekitaut: sako28: 1 Like |
