The starter bars I used in this site are Y16 rods as specified in the building plans. I will get a clearer picture with the size showing when I get to the site today.

Well done sir. Pls, if i may ask, what inform this type of foundation, referring to the beam and the column.

The foundation is a pad footing and very coolwith soil with a good bearing capacity.. The beam is a plinth beam it helps to reduce the effective length of the column.. In lay terms..

That beam helps to chain those column together and support loads coming from the top it helps prevent the floor from cracking and helps the foundation against collapse from back fill.. spyder
learned some cheap and standard alternatives from u

Usually very cautious in Asaba, I have a man that buys from Asaba and deliver to me in Onitsha. But he uses small 911 truck , not 30 ton. That is because of the small street in where I was working then.
