Stephen, thanks for tuning in. Some quadrants of the roof top have hourdi blocks laid in rows perpendicular to others. Your question is why? Great question. My go to decision maker on all matters concrete passed. However, let me research and get back to you. I hope your projects are coming along well. Cheers!
Hello Emmanuel, thank you for tuning in and thanks for the question. Unfortunately, the size of each beam here is proprietary. The structural plan goes hand-in-hand with the architect's plan, created for a narrow lot. They are both proprietary. However, I appreciate you tuning in to watch the videos. Please, do come again.
Thank you. Good question. At 2:07 minutes of this video you will see what are called "Nervures" in French or "Ribs" in English. The two edges of hourdi blocks are layed on the "Ribs" for support. These "Ribs" are made up of 3 rebar rods of 10mm diameter and held together by a T structure made of a rod of 6mm diameter. You can see the top of the "Ribs" running between hourdi blocks. You may also get a good view of this support structure beginning at 0:25min of the video: Building The House 15 - Lay hourdi blocks for 2nd floor concrete slab. Please take a look at your convenience. One more time, thank you! Please tune in again.
Thanks for the question. The practice of building with hourdi blocks is common in Togo and all over the world. Hourdi blocks are hollow in the center. They are light in weight and easy for workers to lay. Furthermore, the hollow center reduces heat transfer.

Builders are exceptional they are the main key in a building construction industry.
Nice big building
Thank you. Blessings!
What is the mixing ratio of materials when making slab blocks
Hello,
For the hourdi blocks only cement, sand and water.
Cement/Sand ratio
3:5
Bags of cement:wheel barrows of sand
wow very nice
oh wow! this amazing.
Hello Nana Yaa, thank you. Following in your footsteps. Still have a long way to go. Thank you for tuning in.
Hello sir
I want to understand why the supports for the boards aren't vertical rather than diagonal to the support of the floor

What supports the bricks after the concrete is dry? I'm confused

Why use bricks wouldn’t that add more weight ?
