Emmanuel thank you for all the knowledge l acquired from your videos have learnt so much and l kept going back multiple times to watched your videos more blessing and strength be upon you Amen
Very informative posts you make and excellent engineering construction work keep it up, could you make a video on the importance of the use of solid blocks or the hollow blocks in construction quality especially in Southern Nigeria as i have seen from your videos that you have built with either of this type of block? Thanks in anticipation of your response or video 🙌🏾
There are different specifications of concrete mix. Weak concrete basically means non-structural concrete that is not as strong as a typical concrete mix design
Hardcore stone or reinforcement are normally placed underneath the floor slab. In this case, what we are building is a bungalow (without any suspended floor). Adequate compaction should suffice in this case, since the imposed load is not significant and the soil is good. If this were to be a story building, warehouse, fueling station etc or a place with a soil of low strength, then hardcore could be considered.
Don’t forget to like the video and subscribe to the channel to get more information on construction/building a house.
Very informative videos. I enjoy them as an engineering student. Thank you
That’s nice to hear. You are welcome
you're indeed amazing. your video is clear and self-explanatory. thanks a million.
You're very welcome!

Thank you, Uduak for all your kind words. I really appreciate.

You are doing well my good friend.
Thanks man
Please what type of foundation is this?
What do you consider before choosing a foundation
You said the hollow block will be fill with weak concrete pls explain more on that thank you sir

Hey! I'm suprised to see blocks arranged like this. Is there a reason for that ?
Does this foundation columns have reinforcement basket beneath it?
Yes, it has. see this video: ruclips.net/video/JWlsIxx5-K8/видео.html
Like how much does one needs to lay the foundation
about 2.5 m - 3.5m material and labour
Please what's the size of the rod you used for this column?
12mm, but note this is normally based off the specification in the structural engineering drawing
@@Emmanuel_Ejike
Will 12mm Rod work for a 3 bedroom duplex columns?
Not Ideal. I doubt a structural engineer will recommend 12mm for any duplex column. Kindly refer to the specifications in your structural drawings.
@@Emmanuel_Ejike Thank you Sir very much what would you then advise? To remove the columns and fix 16mm ?
How many blocks needed from foundation to dpc level pls?
Depend on the building size and height of foundation . Could be between 2000- 4000
how many trips of laterite used to filling the foundation
About 15 trips. This is because of the height of our foundation, could be less
What is the type of the foundation?
Strip foundation
Where are you not using hardcore stone for the foundation?
Hardcore stone or reinforcement are normally placed underneath the floor slab. In this case, what we are building is a bungalow (without any suspended floor). Adequate compaction should suffice in this case, since the imposed load is not significant and the soil is good. If this were to be a story building, warehouse, fueling station etc or a place with a soil of low strength, then hardcore could be considered.
@@Emmanuel_Ejike so natural hardcore is not required for residential bungalow?
