KolaShangOne:good point. Professionally, curing is supposed to be done by preventing escape of water from the concrete. If there's a means of wrapping up the concrete with cellophane, that will be the best. In the absence of that, try not to let the body of the concrete dry up, keep watering it. |

FADEO:That'll be too long. You can start block work after a week provided you don't remove the woods and bamboos used to support the slab |

anochuks08: There's absolutely nothing you can do as long as there's no actual cave in of the concrete floor. Except you choose to mark out the affected areas, break the concrete, refill with back filling material and cast again. 3 Likes |

damola311: You can afford to do the german floor. It's not only granite that's an aggregate material for such purpose. There are other alternatives. Given that, you can do a plinth beam(chain the entire wall line with rods and cast it). 1 Like |

KolaShangOne: Would you recommend 0.40mm (First Aluminum) for a small duplex? |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by damola311: 9:14pm On Jan 14, 2019 |
bixton: I checked the plinth beam online now and that's a great idea. It's very close to what I'm actually asking aside the iron rod part... So that's the best to do(Using iron rod) instead of using DPM Nylon? |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by ceelog(m): 9:21pm On Jan 14, 2019 |
damola311: From my tiny understanding of plinth beam, it's actually for foundation footings all round. But the question you are asking had once been tackled by diodarves (or so). He had said then (in this same thread) that you could [sub][/sub]cast above all the raised foundation blocks (like a mini German floor) covered with dpm. Then when funds are available later, you can cast all the inner rooms, even when walls have been made. I don't know if it's standard but he recommended that approach and it makes some sense to me. 2 Likes |

Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by ceelog(m): 9:41pm On Jan 14, 2019 |
Arnoldfish: I meant 0.40mm. Seen it in one of the NL installers pricelist. I will look for it |

bixton:From the pictures I now understand you I always associated plinth beams as those tied to individual footings and cast on natural ground. The foundation na no shaking even with earth settlement. I didn't know reinforced concrete at dpc ws also called plinth. Thanks for the info 1 Like |

I want know have an idea on the uses of used wood after decking or parapet. some are suggesting that I can sell it while others are suggesting that I can use same wood for the second decking. So apart from using it as firewood, is there any other benefits of used woods? I read on a thread where Hajji Said if you use a plastic film. Does that mean Damp proof nylons? |

FADEO: 7 days on condition, that all the support props (bamboo) are not removed and still firm. If props are removed, 28days. If props are partially removed,14 - 21 days. I have seen people proceed to build on the 2nd day, i would have asked them to atleast wait til 3rd day. Concrete with ordinary portland cement will set to about 35% of its final strenght in 3days, 70% in 7days and finally 100% in 28days. At 3days, its risky business but at 7 days with an adequate design, its safe to proceed with caution (props still in place). At 7 days and with temporary supports in place, we can safely assume concrete has reached 100% strength since even the dead weight of the structural members is still being carried by temporary supports. However, it also depends on the floor level of construction. Say you casted the 5th floor slab, the props are transmitting all the loading onto the 4th floor slab. Any additional loading on the 5 floor slab is carried by the 4th and you risk exceeding the design load for the 4th floor slab. That is why a high rise building is best built as a frame structure before partition or other loading will commence after concrete has reached full strength. 1 Like |

Good evening house. After I finished the wood carcass of my house last year September, I didn't have money to roof it immediately and it has been there as we speak. My question is, is there any risk at all given that the woods were exposed to sunlight from September to November before it stopped. If there is any risk, what can I do to salvage the situation before I cover it by month end. Cheers |
