As a structural engineer I am still stuck at 'suspended foundation'. There can never be a suspended foundation, all the loads of building will have to end up into the ground. What you mean is suspended ground floor slab, by use of prestressed slab panels and beams. Terms really matter in structural engineering.
That is how it should be done. Plumbing should go under the house. Looks like they're doing it wrong by pouring on top of it. Also there is no need to pour over the precast floors. All structures here in the US run their plumbing under the house. It is easy to detect leaks, fix and also for inspection. Imagine them tiling the floor. It will be a nightmare trying to fix anything.
At least you'll be housing other poor creatures who would otherwise lack a home...let's live in harmony with nature, wouldn't mind having wild park beneath me cutting cost of visiting a zoo or safari 😊 and would be a win win situation for all of us 😂😊
No, that is for plumbing but they did it wrong. You can box around it and close it up. It can also be used to run AC if you want to. It's called a Crawlspace which can also be used as an extra storage
what's the point of this video without dimensions of the floor and cost ? why are some T beams resting on tongue of blocks , Engineering point of understanding the dimensions of rebar should be at least 6 inches on both sides .The Grove of blocks should be filled up with concrete at both ends and a renbar in place .
Cost Sh 4,000/- per sq m . The Connections between precast elements can be achieved through Bolting Welding Grouting The Method of Connection largely depends upon type of structure, seismic zone, availability of materials & hardware and skill set of site operatives.

Most non Engineers confuse a footing and foundation. Two very different things.
I am sure you understand. It's not a matter of terms but what you see.
Man, I wish we had similar technology in Liberia. If i had the money, i would start a pre-fab factory in Liberia.
a little shaking and those beams will slip from the foundation column. Load bearing chip blocks can last for 20years?
why not use square hollow column blocks for sleeving your columns ???
What is that underground place / space for? Is it a basement or what?
Would like a review after this heavy rain.
Where are you in nanyuki
Am just interested, would wish to work with you, just to learn
I really love this we have a project coming up what's the best way to reach you? Thanks

I love the technology
I was waiting to see the lintel part. And Windows
What about the cost
Very innovative keep up
What is the dimension of the floor slab and its cost.
Slab foundation cost Sh 4000/- per sq m
Why not run all the plumbing underneath the slab?

I think the ground underneath is dangerous in that it can be a home of snakes and other equally bad creatures. Why not fill it up with soil anyway?

@@bensonchege8623 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 waooooooooohhh, I guess you have a point. It's debatable though.
Agree..or raise it further up to 3 meters
@@KGioche now you nail bro, exactly. That's a win win deal with the "zoo".

Can you give the data list and tensile strength of tbeam

Suspended foundation for all feral cats and dogs to live under.
Close the open section easy
And, where are you finding these congregations of feral cats and dogs?
Very true. We used to rent some in SS and they were full of cat's and snakes under

Cost Sh 4,000/- per sq m . The Connections between precast elements can be achieved through
Bolting
Welding
Grouting
