Muyi002: In construction what you show here is real DPC This can be done with special engr mortal or concrete, polythene or metal to resist water capillary action (dampness in building).it just that the thickness is usually not as thick as the pics you show above The so called German floor is called OVER SITE CONCRETE. The two has diff purposes.(dpc and over site concrete)But many people mixed the two name together. 1 Like |

Good day. I need this great house and engineers advice. I started a 4bedroom bungalow which weve roofed and plastered. Of recent, weve noticed crack both horizontal and vertical cracks on the walls and the floor. Engineer said it's as a result of differential settlement and it can be worked on. He said working on it involves cracking the walls and just filling and plastering with cement and sand. Someone told me it involves breaking the walls and inserting reinforcement (iron rods) and plastering with mixed sand,cement and granite. He insists that it's not necessary. Please engineers in the house, is it necessary or not |

4newguy: Permit me to say this, it’s never a waste of money to get a competent personal to handle things, you can never regret it in future. In construction if you don’t have enough Money due to the situation of the country to hire professional to handle your project from beginning to the end, you can do so for foundation only, ( bungalow) you won’t regret it. Now to the problem on the ground you need to 1st check the courses of the cracks ( this might be from the foundation which I’m very sure of). Then you need to study it if it has stoped before you can take any repair on it, if not the cracks will continue. More so as you explained you might need what we called UNDER PINNING to solve this problem ( although we don’t know the degree of the cracks bcs NO pics to check that). |

rotecch77: I gave an engineer the job from beginning to its current stage as I didnt want story and I try not to over negotiate but still I got this. Please what does underpinning involve |

Cracks can sometime be the house settling to the earth which I think it's not a big problem like that. Another thing to look for is the environment where you have your building, do other houses experience such that's if the cracks are very visible ones and that could be an issue with the vicinity of that land which could either be caused by different factors. Try and ask around if others experience such, did you do German floor 4newguy: |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by 4newguy: 2:38pm On Dec 09, 2019 |
Conceptman: Yes, German floor was done. Theres a crack too on the floor. The security man of my neighbour said his oga had same thing but he cracked open the wall and included reinforcement |

Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by Conceptman: 2:56pm On Dec 09, 2019 |
4newguy:I wanted to point out the floor own as well, ask other residents too and if they experience such too then you need an expert, you won't notice those cracks on bathroom walls where you tiles but you will definitely find the cracks outside and other places that are not tiled. The problem is not from the structure but the land. Disclaimer: I'm only sharing from experience, you can reach out to the experts |

Post a picture for better understanding. To your question...you will most likely have to insert iron rods to correct it (depending on the nature of the crack. Again, post pictures to help you get the right responses. good luck 4newguy: |

megacontrol:hello, I went through your construction thread for the bungalow and from the pictures I saw there were no (sufficient)pillars to support the weight of the parapet you said you will construct. This might likely contribute to the cracks. |
