woles3435: depends on the size of your family, finance and preference.With a plot of land, you can have from a 3 to 5bedroom bungalow, You can also build a bungalow with a penthouse. Considering its initial purpose(2units of 2bedroom), a 4 - 5bedroom bungalow would be ideal. The foundation you have is an advantage, so you don't have to worry about future foundation problems or dampness. You can contact me on 09056082348(call & WhatsApp) raymondfubara@gmail.com for professional advice. |

iknowwhoiam: H/I beam is called Structural Steel. Others are T, L, C, Round,Hollow, rectangular beams etc. On the other hand, there are 4 types of steel reinforcement bars for concrete. 1. Hot rolled deformed 2. Cold worked steel 3. Mild steel plain 4. Prestressing steel These are the only reinforcement types i know used with concrete. What you are suggesting is subject to research. I will not advice my enemy to try it. Reinforced Concrete Design (aka RCD) and Structural Steel Design (SSD) are 2 different branches of Civil/Structural Engineering. They two start at the same principle during analysis but end up miles apart in design. I have never seen the two being mixed at elemental level; say a beam having both concrete and structural steel. A Structural steel section is designed to replace a reinforced Concrete member entirely whether as a column, beam or other structural member. The 2 are interchangeable but together as a single member, i have never come across. Wood is also a structural material used to replace both reinforced concrete and structural steel. Its design is also different. Basically, i am saying if you use structural steel, concrete is not required. If you use concrete, you must choose 1 of the 4 reinforcement bars above. Steel design will cost you an arm and a leg while the structural steel will break the bank. Concrete and wood are far cheaper compared to steel. |

To th gurus in the house please help with this: We want to put a 2000 litres water tank on top of a decking so we want to determine proper size for the columns. The wall is 6inches and we don't want the column to be visible: we want it embedded in the wall. The columns will be at the four corners of a rectangle of 2.4m by 1.2m. A friend said 9in by 9in column would have been best but that considering my conditions I should go for 18in by 6in. Can 12in by 6in column withstand the weight? |

adanny01: Thanks adanny01, I need to know if it is SAFE. Cost to me is not really a factor. I know in other climes, it is used to build multi-story buildings, but in Nigeria the reserve is the case. I need to know technically if it is permissible to do so, cost aside. On a side note, it could be cheaper, you never know! |

Hello everyone, I want us to share knowledge about securing your property with Electrical fence or barbed wire. Here I have 2 scenarios 1. Electrical fence in Nigeria that power supply is nothing to write home about. Am sure your reaction will be why not put it on solar and inverter since you have the money. My question is how long the solar inverter last to secure your fence and same time power the appliance in the house. Some will say you can use generator to support. 2. Barbed wire might not look fancy like the electrical counterpart but over years this product has serve and have been improved on. Now will have the anti-rust one that last years without any rust. Barbed wire does need to be electrified before your compound is secured. I know there are other scenarios from the above, so please let share idea about these 2 two methods to secure house in Nigeria. Personally, I told my installer I want barbed wire due to the power issue in the country. And now I’m looking for a way to put an alarm on it without electrifying it. Anyone with an idea? 1 Like |

iknowwhoiam: On whether its safe, the only thing that makes it safe is the design. You are safe to use steel even for far more than the 3 stories you are planning, it is the design that makes it safe or not. There are quacks, draftsmen and even some uneducated fellows that would do RCD designs for you, but SSD is another game a quack would decline. So you will pay for the real deal. To pass building planning and permits means vetting officers who are used to RCDs would cast an eagle eye on your project. Meaning you get delays and spend money at every corner and every boss is aware and monitors your project. It is easy to determine quality of concrete but not for structural steel. The development control would want to see results. Building with RC is not just convenient, it doesn't require maintenance after construction. Very limited things affect concrete during its life span, such as sea water, fire etc. With steal, rust is a major issue so even without sea water. This means that steal would only be handled by professionals. You dont get to use 4k per day masons, you must use highly skilled labour. You are also limited in building services that are cheap and easy to install. With a steel building, a small thing as an electrical socket needs expert handling to place. You don't get to weld structural members at will. You get to hire a crane for the duration of your build, that cant be cheap. You meet few experienced artisans which will not come cheap. You will pay huge electricity bills cos your project requires welding 24/7. I can go on and on and on. The cost in my projection can easily be more that twice what you would spend on RC. Let me reiterate, it is doable, it is safe but can never be cheaper. 1 Like |

Hello all I want to share this idea with everyone and I don't think I have ever seen it before on NL. It's filling the embedded aluminum bars of the casement with rise granite concrete (sometimes with a 8mm rod inside). The idea was generated when an argument ensued that using 12mm or 16mm rods welded at the tops (and bottom) has made it easy for thieves to cut through the aluminum pipe and the rods, The initial idea was not to fix the rods but let them freely move which makes it difficult to cut. But with a concrete filled aluminum burglary bars, the cutter blade for metal cannot cut through concrete without blunting it. But remember to have one or two safety-decor windows without concrete for emergencies. See the pic attached below. Let's discuss it!!!

iknowwhoiam: If I'm not mistaken are you referring to "concrete steel composite structures/steel concrete composite structures? If you have, not entirely certain such has been done in Nigeria. The cost will depend on the overall design of the entire structure. But in all, it will be cost efficient (I hope I'm using the right word) or should I say it would be of lower cost if such structure is more than a single unit to the developer. |

ceelog: It's a good thing. But it would not hold a determined thief. The aim of levels of security is to at least prevent the intruder from getting into the safe room till external help arrives. I think other security measures should be put in place to reduce the time to get external help. The security of life is of utmost importance. |

iknowwhoiam:Some years ago while I was researching fire retardant paint for buildings, I came across an article that blamed the fast rate of collapse of the world trade center twin tower to the steel frame it was built with. It was reported that while steel is very strong and durable in the right condition, it quickly looses it's strength under intense heat. you may want to ask the experts of safety in the event of fire incident. 1 Like |
