Project Update Here’s a sneak peek at our ongoing structural design project in Florida! The structure will feature: Combination of Wood and Steel Trusses Steel Frame Facade with wood texture finishes Reinforced Concrete Masonry Walls Reinforced Concrete Foundations Stay tuned for more updates as we bring this vision to life. #structuralengineering #StructuralDesign #FloridaProject #EngineeringExcellence #TeamJMVC

For ground floor slabs using the beam and block system, extensive excavation is unnecessary; only the topsoil needs to be removed, with trenches dug for the foundation walls. The precast concrete inverted T-beams are supported by the perimeter and internal load-bearing walls. These beams are specifically designed and manufactured to span particular distances, with their arrangement and lengths tailored to the span and loading requirements, as well as the type of blocks specified. This method ensures an efficient and cost-effective flooring solution. #minimalexcavation #nobackfilling #jenganaecoconcrete #jengamdogomdogo #habanahaba #stepbystep #stagebuilding #stagebuild #strongslabs #strong #durable #SustainableConstruction #ecoconcrete #beamandblock #measurements #buildkenya #buildbetter #buildgreen #concrete #concretefloors #precast #prestressed #constructionsite #housebuilding #architecture #design #building #interiordesign #renovation #engineering

Installing a beam and block flooring system is notably faster and easier compared to conventional slab methods. The prefabricated nature of the beams and blocks allows for quick assembly, significantly reducing the installation time. Unlike traditional slabs, which often require lengthy curing periods and complex formwork, the beam and block system can be laid and ready for use within a day. This system's versatility is another major advantage, as it can be used for various applications without extensive customization. Moreover, installation requires minimal specialist labor or equipment, making it accessible for standard construction crews and reducing overall project costs. #strongslabs #strong #durable #SustainableConstruction #ecoconcrete #beamandblock #measurements #buildkenya #buildbetter #buildgreen #concrete #concretefloors #precast #prestressed #constructionsite #housebuilding #architecture #design #building #interiordesign #renovation #engineering

The Beam and Block flooring system is efficient as requires minimal excavation, completely eliminating the need for backfilling since it is a suspended floor, translating into significant cost and time savings. With the Beam and Block system, you only need to excavate the trenches where your foundations/wallings carrying the super-structure is present whereas in a conventional slab, one must excavate the entire area for the foundation, cast the foundations, and backfill after the cast. Traditional excavation and backfilling can be both labor-intensive and costly, due to the need for extensive groundwork, disposal of excavated material, and the procurement and compaction of backfill material. #minimalexcavation #nobackfilling #jenganaecoconcrete #jengamdogomdogo #habanahaba #stepbystep #stagebuilding #stagebuild #strongslabs #strong #durable #SustainableConstruction #ecoconcrete #beamandblock #measurements #buildkenya #buildbetter #buildgreen #concrete #concretefloors #precast #prestressed #constructionsite #housebuilding #architecture #design #building #interiordesign #renovation #engineering

🚨You might think that the static part of #masstimber design is the biggest problem… 🏠 In addition to the fulfillment of static norms, the most significant challenge is to find suitable aesthetic solutions harmonized with the architecture of the buildings. 🌲Hiding or showing certain parts or the entire structure is a challenge rarely encountered with concrete or steel. And on top of that, those damn fastening parts…👍🏻

A building is more than just walls and spaces; it’s a harmonious integration of structural components that ensure stability, functionality, and longevity. In this detailed sketch, I’ve illustrated the key structural elements that come together to form a cohesive structure—each with its unique purpose and role. Key Takeaways: 1. Foundation: The cornerstone of any structure, transferring loads to the ground and providing a stable base for everything above. A well-designed foundation ensures the building stands strong against time and environmental forces. 2. Roof: The shield of a building, safeguarding interiors from external elements while contributing to its aesthetic and structural balance. 3. Columns, Beams, and Slabs: Work cohesively to bear loads and maintain equilibrium. 4. Lintels and Sills: Support functional openings while maintaining structural integrity. 5. Walls: Essential vertical elements that enclose spaces, provide support, and contribute to insulation, soundproofing, and overall stability.

Using the beam and block system for staircase construction is both fast and cost-effective. This method eliminates the need for extensive steelworks and formwork typically required for flight and landing. The precast beams for the flight are supported at ground floor level by a ground beam while at the landing they are supported by precast beams and steel hangers or a ring beam, creating a sloped ramp that forms the staircase’s structure. Once in place, mass concreting is applied to create the steps, significantly reducing labor, material costs, and construction time while ensuring a durable result.

Construction Word of the Day - laminated wood - Wood built up of plies or laminations that have been Joined either with glue or with mechanical fasteners. Usually, the plies are too thick to be classified as veneer and the grain of all plies is parallel. #construction #architecture

The Beam and Block flooring system offers a significant advantage by eliminating the need for additional BRC (British Reinforcement Concrete) and steel reinforcement. This is achieved through the use of prestressed beams, which are reinforced with high-tensile steel during manufacturing. These prestressed beams provide the necessary strength and durability, removing the requirement for extra reinforcement on site. This not only streamlines the construction process but also translates to considerable cost savings. By reducing the need for supplementary materials and labor, Beam and Block flooring becomes a more cost-efficient and time-saving solution for ground floor slabs. #strongslabs #strong #durable #SustainableConstruction #ecoconcrete #beamandblock #measurements #buildkenya #buildbetter #buildgreen #concrete #concretefloors #precast #prestressed #constructionsite #housebuilding #architecture #design #building #interiordesign #renovation #engineering
