Anyone in construction

Be good at giving solutions rather than identifying problems; anyone can do that.

Problem identification isn't special.
Problem solving is

Where certificates and qualifications cannot take you, May the grace of God take you there this week!

[Willis Evans Otieno @otienowill]

You wake up at 5AM not to build hospitals, not to fix roads, not to feed children .
But to wrap Parliament in wire like a crime scene.
You barricade the city like you’re under siege. But the only thing you’re hiding from is the truth.

You don’t fear bandits. You don’t fear cartels. You don’t fear the murderers in government.
You fear the teacher who speaks out. The youth who stands up. The mother who says ‘enough.’
That’s who you fear. Because you know ; once the people wake up, you can’t govern them with lies anymore.

REINFORCEMENT CALCULATIONS (KGs. & PIECES)

When dealing with any reinforced concrete structure, one of the critical materials used in its construction is rebar. These usually come in different sizes in the Kenyan market and can range from ø6 to ø40 rebars.

Rebar can be purchased as pieces depending on different sizes hence the rates will be variable or a fixed rate per kilogram regardless of the rebar size.

Understanding how to calculate the amount of rebar that will be used in your structure is a sure way of future-proofing yourself from dubious and manipulative ‘trusted fundis’ on site.

Below we have a footing (1500x1500x400) and a column neck (300x300x2.5m) which we will be using as an example in calculating the reinforcement both in terms of Kilograms and total linear length and ultimately the pieces needed.

We will also give the pricing both for pieces and per kilogram

So, lets delve deeper on this;

The Black Cotton Soil Project by Arch. Sakata Izumi.

I recently interacted with the great Arch. Sakata Izumi who has embarked on this project in collaboration with JKUAT; aimed to stabilize black cotton soil (bcs) and make it useful for construction activities.

🤣🤣🤣 you will see bad things as @xysist says.

Let me give you a list that you will go fill it up.
1. Excavation
2. Foundation strip footing concreting
3. Strip footing reinforcements
4. Foundation stones
5. Hoop iron

HOW MANY WATER PUMP TYPES DO YOU KNOW?

Water pumps play a crucial role in ensuring reliable water supply in residential homes. These devices are responsible for drawing water from sources such as boreholes, wells and distributing it to different parts of the house.

HOW DO YOU ENSURE QUALITY CONTROL IN CONCRETING?

Quality checks are vital at every stage of concrete construction to ensure that the finished structure meets the desired standards of strength, durability, and safety. From the selection of materials to the curing process.
