This is tyroline. Sharp sand and cement sprayed with a hand machine and partially smoothened.
The whole surface was later painted.

Okay Sir!
Many thanks.
Really appreciate.

Hello House,

Please engineers on the platform I need your input on the casting of German floor for a portion of my property.
I need the right quantity for cement, sharp sand and granite by calculation.

The area is 40 by 7 feet and the thickness is just about 3 inches.
i.e 40 feet x 7 feet x 3 inches.

Looking forward to your experience and expertise as usual.

Hello house,
Please any ideas how this is done on walls?
Is it texcote type of paint, screening or torolling?

I see 23 there.

Congratulations Morocco/Africa.

that's a liquid damage
It can be fixed
Are you in lagos?

Yes, I'm in Lagos

Hello house, Please i have a Tecno spark 5 that dropped in water.

Please who has Tecno Spark 5 screen and how much?

Hello House,
A standard plot of land in Ikorodu is available for sale.
It is fenced and has a gate.
Land size is 120 by 60 and it has a twin two bedroom structure on it and a block of 4 No's. shops in front of it
Also available is bore hole and store/generator house.
Asking price is N25 million only.

Hello Engineers in the house and DIY advocates too.
Please I'm looking for grand ideas for the exterior of my humble abode to change it from it's current dry look.
The use of exterior wall tiles and those corner wall designs came to mind (like the one in the picture).
Please is it a yay or nay?
How can I go about it?
Who has sample pictures to show these ideas so we can learn.

hamtabfawaz:


Go for HDF Quality doors.

It's nice & affordable.

Please those HDF doors, are they ready made or tailor made to fit?
Kindly help with pictures here so we can equally learn.

Yes they do, I used c6 in English language waec, 2006 which is over 15 yrs

Please which other schools accept WAEC as English proficiency?

Hello House,

Please I need ideas on how to get developers in Lagos to bid for carrying out a project (residential building for rental).

There's a plot of land that needs development at Alimosho/Igando area.
Igando is fast developing and has very good prospects for growth.
Rent in Igando is competitive, probably ranks as number 3 after Ikeja and Gbagada on the mainland.

Seasoned, Trustworthy and reliable developers are being sourced for.
It's a family land and all documents are genuine and intact.

Kindly get in touch if you're interested or have some information to give.
Thanks in anticipation.

Concrete mix calculation (manual)
Length of Concrete- 252 inches
Width of Concrete- 9 inches
Depth of Concrete- 36 inches.
Solution
1st Step:
Conversion of the dimensions to metric unit {SI unit of length} gives us:
New length = 6.40m
New width = 0.23m
New depth = 0.92m
(Hint: 1 inch = 0.0254).
Hence, Volume = 6.40 x 0.23 x 0.92 = 1.35m³
2nd Step:
The mix ratio for a reinforced concrete is 1:2:4(Grade M15) for example.
1:2:4 is equivalent to Cement: Fine aggregate: Coarse aggregate


Volume of Cement in the mix = 1/7 x 1.35m³ =0.19m³
, Density = Mass/Volume
Density of dry Cement= 1440Kg/m³
Density of wet cement = 3150Kg/m³(average).
Therefore, Mass(Kg) of cement = Density x Volume = 3150 x 0.19 = 598.5Kg
Note: 1 bag = 50kg
Total no of bags = 598.5/50 = 11.97 =
12 bags.

Fine aggregate (Sand)
Volume = 2/7 x 1.35m³ = 0.38m³
Dry loose Bulk density = 1550Kg/m³
Mass in Kg = 1550 x 0.38 =589 Kg
I tonne = 1000kg
Hence, Amount of sand = 589/1000 = 0.59tonne

Coarse Aggregate ( Gravel)
Volume = 4/7 x 1.35m³ = 0.76m³
Bulk Density= 1350Kg/m³
Mass = 1350 x 0.76 = 1026kg
Amount in tonne = 1026/1000 = 1.03 tonnes.

Thanks so much for your time Sir

Dubemcapital1:





Well, I will advise you engage an engineer to handle your Civil Construction projects.

Now, the need for an engineer is to inspect the job and recommend a RCC mix ratio that will be suitable. Be that as it may, let's assume is a raft foundation beam.

However, let's still go with M15 as suggested by some of us:

1bag of cement+ 4buckets of Sharp sand+
8 buckets of crushed stone +
3 buckets of clean water = Concrete design (with compressive strength of 2175psi)

If vibrated, In total the project may take up to:

5 bags of cement (in total)
20 big painter of sand ( about 20ltr painter)
40 big painter buckets of aggregate ( " )
15 big painter buckets of water ( " )


Thanks

Thanks for this Sir

KolaShangOne:


You name is first so you have to help him o. .

He has given you volume. Conv to cu.m..

Determine what each mix of 1.2.4 or 1.3.6 will give him in of volume...

And then divide through..

Then get what each constituent contributes in of weight

Please does the ratio 1:2:4 mean 50kg by 100kg by 200kg of Cement, Sand and Aggregate? Even as the three have different density?
How can I go about the last part Sir (the bolded)?

Good Evening house,

Please I need assistance with calculating the concrete mix of a particular civil work I want to carry out in my house.

Meanwhile, I have tried using some online apps I found on app store yet I don't know if I'm doing it right or if the results are accurate.

Please who can assist me to get an accurate calculation (either manually or with an online app).
The dimensions are:-
Length: 252 inches
Width: 9 inches
Depth: 36 inches

Please don't ignore.

Hello Engineers,
Please I have a Gionee K3 M100 with broken screen and back cover.
Kindly assist with estimate cost for replacement.

Morning...

If this design was for a bigger land size I would have said its OK..

By major concern is the land is 15m wide and the structure is 13.5m wide.

That's a space of 750mm on both side, I consider that too small or even less than 750mm since you said space is slightly less than 15m (50ft)

I'll advice you ask your Architect to reduce and achieve more setbacks.

Goodluck.

@saydfact
Thanks for the analysis Engineer.
Please what would reducing possibly entail? (Dimension of room space possibly?)
What minimum space do you suggest should be left?
Should i get in touch offline for likely costing of different milestones of the project e.g foundation work, Foundation to window stage, Foundation up to lintel etc.
I'll really appreciate professional insight.

Hello House,
Please kindly assist in checking my floor plan.
I intend to commence building soon but i have a hunch about the design.
Available space is slightly below 50 by 50 feet (Needs to be managed).
What can i modify?
Is the ventilation good enough?
Is the ante room even necessary?
Should i reduce the size of the rooms?
Why do i need a walk in closet?
