@OIkuepamitan Happy for you

[Sir J (J9) @SirJarus]

44 today

All this big big age of our uncles when we dey secondary school, we sef don reach there.

That was fast o.

Alhamdulillah

Cantilever Bridges
Typically, these bridges include three spans where the outer spans are anchored on opposite banks. The outer spans cantilever toward each other, with the central span resting on the cantilevered outer spans. The earlier example is the Forth Bridge.

The first frame is the Quebec Bridge, Canada that spans the St Lawrence River and still remains the longest cantilever bridge in the world.

Exactly

I take money build house for my village wey be my lifetime dream, you dey tell me say I suppose put the money for the Tbill and earn kini kinikan interest bla bla.

I tell you say my village house no give me joy pass Tbill?

There’s a lot to achieve.

So much is possible in this life. I’ve seen it firsthand. Life has so much more to offer you.

Base isolation bearings. They possess very high stiffnesses, are so heavy and well suited for seismic or vibration isolation. I had the privilege of seeing them used on a high-end, premium residential development in London because the site is over an underground train tunnel to isolate the building from vibrations.

Let me explain to you from an engineering and professional standpoint; you can either build as a framed structure (with beams and columns) or as a load bearing structure (without columns and beams) based on the discretion of the the engineer having considered the soil condition

[Big Austin @21Alul21]

pressure from backfill but you say no.
Mind you in some countries, it is even recommended to not only fill sandcrete blocks with concrete, but also reinforce it with rebars.

[Qs Lanre 👷🏾‍♂️ @lanrycool]

@21Alul21 @TobiAjayi15 You call yourself an Engr can't you see they filling blocks with concrete instead of introducing columns?

So you build without columns Engr Big Austin

[Big Austin @21Alul21]

Now, engineers have recommended that you fill your "unfit" sandcrete blocks with weak concrete to make it durable to serve as a load bearing structural member capable of carrying the oversite slab (DPC slab) live loads from occupants, dead loads from partitioning, and even active

[Big Austin @21Alul21]

compressive strength value of 3.5 mpa and above?

I did this research as my final year project and I discovered that only about 7% of commercially produced sandcrete blocks produced in my city were suitable.

[Big Austin @21Alul21]

and other requisite factors.

Now, before you build as a load bearing structure, you must ensure that your sandcrete blocks is 9 inches and have a compressive strength of 3.5 mpa and above according to NIS standard, now tell me, how many sandcrete blocks produced today both have
