The architect or the oga Engineer involved in this should be handed over to SARS

But maybe that's what the client requested, who knows

Often times, it’s what the client want. For such client, it’s better to be safe than sorry which is very true!

EgunMogaji2:


It should be possible without the supports I think.

Yes!

Pic 1 - 3: This is more than 8m long.

Pic 1 - 2: Wraparound Terrace
Pic 3: Cantilevered section of a ground beam

Simple indeed!

You might want to add this simple gate design to your design collection.

Skyroof (cantilever section)

Curved Terrace (also called lipstick)

And of course, there are small terraces that the client might specifically request for support.

I know you will deliver too. Saved, if I ever needed a rolling gate in future especially auto-rolled.
Please post if you get better sleeve gates, need to replace a gate one of the supplier's driver here damaged few months ago.

I’ll have to check but here’s something I’m working on for a residential project.

The beauty of gates is in the thickness of the plates used. A 3mm thick plate will give you a very clean gate.

michlins:
as I have explained always, these doors can be used for interior and exterior needs.
About the toilet aspect, I will suggest that you use these aluminum doors cause of the water splashes (no steel can survive caustic soda from soap no matter how strong it is. Just give it time and the water will ruin it)
The doors can be customized as to your needs from the size of the frames which can be 5",6" or more. The doors sizes can be customized too.
About the locks, it's dealers choice but I always tell people to buy at least the quality on the door in review cause the cost of replacing the locks always offset the little savings you're trying to make.
The price of the door is 20,000 and 30,000 for the 3ft and 4ft respectively.
Kindly contact me with the attached detail

Chairman, you don get business card too? Please message me.

when you say 3mm, do you mean complete 3mm pan or 2.5mm cause I know what the weight of 2.5mm pan is alone. Add all those things and it becomes too heavy for some pillars to carry. Then imagine what 3mm will be like.

But it's always a bliss working with 2.5mm pan cause you don't have to worry about the smoothness of the work.

Thank you Sir. I shall keep the plate gauge in mind.

Why you node open thread for your builds anymore? Would be nice if I can follow your build stories. I like your work.

Thank you sir.

I think the client took one look at the original cantilever and ‘fear catched him’. He didn’t trust the structural calcs so requested for more support.

As an aside, I created a cantilevered terrace above my front porch in the UK. To get the necessary sign off, the structural engineer’s calculations ran to 40 pages, all by hand!

Come and see dy/dx, partial differentials, torsional rigidity and all other dogon turenchi. He is one of these old school Engineers - probably still cherishes his favourite slide rule.

That’s the big difference between using an engineer and using people who really know their job.

In one of the pictures I shared recently, we wanted to introduce 3 columns to provide support for a newly introduced slab.

We had to stop the project and waited almost six months for the structural engineer to come with a new structural drawing.

We eventually ended up adding just one column.

The structural engineer said “I’m doing my job. It wouldn’t be necessary if I wasn’t informed.”

Here’s the thing, many homeowners want to spend their more on buying beautiful gates – the first thing you’d see on any project - but spend less on installing the gates.
Of course, no one is going to see foundation and the supporting columns.

We are quick to search for latest designs online and work with our local welders to come up with our dream gates but give not much consideration to the foundation. (I think I shared something on gate installation weeks back).

Just like we have In every house, the foundation remains the most important part of any project - even foundation of a gate.

Beyond having good foundation, it’s also advisable to introduce wheels at the end of heavy gates to take the weight.

Using lighter gauge materials does not make a gate stronger, it makes it weaker.

I have a gate that’s almost 3 times heavier than my neighbour’s gate. He has repaired his gate 3 times in 5 years. I’ve never had to do anything.

One other thing is gate design. An open gate will always be lighter than a fully-covered gate especially when there’s wind sail.

I have to give it to you but you know your onus when it comes to these things. You really do understand the difficulties I face when working.

Do I do something strong and simple or do I do something fancy and good.

Do something strong and you don't know what the homeowner intends to do at foundation.

If all clients will be just like you who understands that it takes more than strong materials to work

When I'm around my friend?
You wouldn't have waited for that long if you get in touch. Just playing pranks.

It's good to place emphasis on structural integrity and general wellbeing of the building.

earthrealm:

Unsightly. I prefer it without the supports under

I actually share the same thought... because there's no economy there... neither did I see any aesthetics...

Respect to all the structural engineers in the house. You're the reason the world go round!

That period of waiting taught me a lot. I understand that film-faced plywood is better than timber if you want your concrete to achieve maximum strength.

I think it should be this way "All clients need to know that a house is a sum of its parts. Beautiful gates deserves a solid foundation."

The thing dey pain me you no dey Lagos

all of us won't be in Lagos. Some will be hearing the tales of Lagos from Nairaland

If it's kobokobo, you'll be working directly with the welder. I think it should be around #220. If I'm involved, it is 250k pere.

oh ok noted

qwertyboss:
whats your take on this cantilever?
considering the span and beams...

It's a No -No for me.. There is no need for the beams considering the span, load on it and location of the slab.

n3xt:


Yes!

Pic 1 - 3: This is more than 8m long.

Nice pic. But the cantilever span is the shorter span not the longer (8m) span.
