Thank you sire for this video, Do you know of any Nigerian structural engineer channel to learn more about relating structural drawings to live examples

[@Yoursthoughts]

Good one bro

[@ChimdiAjaero]

Thanks bro

[@boje7316]

Neatly calculated. What about the amount of cement and sand to be used?

[@gebreabnegasi2829]

how did you calculate for mortar space?

[@RomeoAmaawan]

Good job well done keeping it up

[@ChimdiAjaero]

thank you, I appreciate

[@JudePatrick-p7j]

What's your take on using 6inches hollow blocks to run interior and exterior partition for a story building?

[@raisetheline]

Should be find as long as you have structural columns in between, 6” block is common on high rises

[@ChimdiAjaero]

sorry for the delayed reply.. this is based on the structural engineers specifications but typically , 9inches is used on the exterior and 6 inches or 4 can be used in the interior. If u have a framed structure ie post and beams, 6inches is fine both for exterior and interior

[@McKnightTamfu]

What about plastering?

Thank you for that spontaneous lecture sir. Sir, how do one calculate it in plan

[@ChimdiAjaero]

i will do a video showing that

[@abdikanidahirali2947]

Thanks eng becouse you solved my problem

[@ChimdiAjaero]

you are welcome

[@omooghene.6680]

Good morning sir, am I to calculate the external blocks and internal blocks same way you calculated the area of blocks and the area of wall and multiply by 2 to give the total quantity of blocks needed for a building?

[@ChimdiAjaero]

goodmorning. I would say just calculate the surface area of the walls independently or get the entire length of the wall and get the height to get the surface and you are good to go

[@Yoursthoughts]

More civil engineering bro

[@ChimdiAjaero]

Thank you bro . I really appreciate it

[@ChimdiAjaero]

Ok brother . Although I’m not a structural engineer. But I can find more info for you

[@raisetheline]

It’s Sq ft multiplied by 1.13 You’re welcome

[@ChimdiAjaero]

thanks for the tip

[@lyns32uk]

You didn't factor in the mortar used....

[@ChimdiAjaero]

yes i didnt. thank you for noting. I mean if u want to get detailed, sure thats fine. for estimation purposes, this is also fine

[@sb4147]

That seems wrong! You did not take into account the amount of mortar

[@ChimdiAjaero]

I explained that in this video .

[@ChimdiAjaero]

Thank you for the insight

Thank you for that spontaneous lecture sir. Sir, how do one calculate it in plan

[@ChimdiAjaero]

you are welcome. once u know the entire length of the wall you are trying to calculate and the height. then you're good to go
