If you want to steal say it I dont have time for rubbish. I have wired over 8 houses this year alone. The estimate i gave is accurate. For the 6mm the price I gave is for 3 coils. I just gave estimates for what will cover the others depending if your concrete pole is far from the house. I am talking about the cable to connect direct to the pole. 2.5mm cometstar is sold in Delta state for 6,000. I am not only an engineer i am the only honest person in the world. Deal with it

timesup234:
Yes. For three bedroom with AC in every room. I didnt add the load wire. You can use 6mm, 16mm or 25mm as the case may be. The prices are 3k, 10k, 16k respectively

Oga answer the questions I asked you. as a professional engineer and an experience electrician... If you can't answer that means you are just making mouth with no proof...

I won't say any negative word nor abuse you.. But still need answer to my questions if truely you have done it for so many clients.

He is 100% correct unless you don't know how to read. The quotation he gave me for my five bedroom worked, I even have some wires left. We finished the work this morning. Thanks timesup

timesup234:
buy one and a half coil of 2.5mm black and one and a half coil of 2.5mm red. Buy 2 coils of 1.5mm red and 2 coils of 1.5 mm black. Then 2 coils of 1.5mm yellow or green. Then buy 18 yards of 10mm. The 1.5mm go even remain self. Your electrician is a thief

do you mind telling us
how many each of 1.5mm, 2.5mm, 4mm that finished the job?

thanks

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 [s]replace a reinforced Concrete member entirely[/s] 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.

Oh damn bros. Take this keynote sir.
Depth of Structural Engineering enables a mix of Structural steel with Reinforced concrete and in fact many other materials such as acrylic, carbon fiber, glass fibre, engineered lumber... you can name the rest. There exists elaborate design codes for designing and constructing these structures e.g Eurocode 4 (BS EN 1994)
It's a more common practice than you imagine and it's called RCS - Reinforced Composite Steel. Many bridge decks are RC slabs sitting on steel girders; Slab decks in some industrial buildings compose of thin concrete layer on corrugated steel sheet which acts as permanent formwork and bears tensile stress in the slab elements; Supercolumns and sometimes driven piles consists of regular R.C column with embedded steel section or in fact concrete poured in hollow steel section.
I'm sorry for replying an old post. But I believe people can use some more knowledge in future.

You actually missed the original question i was replying to.

The question was if a structural steel member can be used to replace reinforcement steel in a reinforced concrete design?

In composite design, the structural steel and reinforced concrete are independent of each other but used together to achieve a combined and greater load carrying ability.

The second picture you posted has A, B C and D composite structural members having both reinforced concrete and structural steel. All four structural members carry reinforcement steel and structural steel. What the original question asked was if the reinforcement steel could be removed and then the structural steel serves as reinforcement to the concrete.

Removing the reinforcement steel as the op suggested will reduce the composite member to an effective structural steel member since the reinforced concrete is reduced to just concrete.

Think of it this way, op asked if a car's engine can be replaced with a horse, you are saying a car can be even made to fly.

Who knows the current price for 1mm and 1.5mm ? (Coleman wire) and where I can buy the original product in Lagos?

I need to find someone like this in Ibadan. I wish to use that kind of block at least for my foundation and safe room.

How did he earn your trust factor that the block will be consistently well made?
