QUOTE(ascend @ Dec 19 2014, 09:35 PM) Ok thanks for this. Looks like the lower lower steel bar and upper level steel bars are joined only by the concrete poured in (and the bars overlap each other), and they are not welded together (or other means). Makes one think what will happen if a strong horizontal shear force is applied to the column with the overlapping steel bars.  this 1 is more toward tensile strength. which is vertical loading. when come to lateral load, usually will use shear wall instead of column la. more structural element. only high rise wil encounter horizontal force |

My immediate neighbor is doing a major reno and it is real major. They basically break all the walls and rebuild again from double storey to 3 1/2 storey. Is that even possible for a normal DS to be re-build into a 3 or 3 1/2 story ?
BTW its a corner unit.

BTW its a corner unit. 3 1/2 storey is really nothing actually. u only need to get approval from local authority and then structural can design for u. |

QUOTE(sendatpadatketat @ Dec 25 2014, 02:59 PM) is it more expensive to buy a lot in rural area and build my own kampung house than buy a full package house? is more costly nowdays to build wood house than brick house? if money not an excuse might build house using red brick summorr (1) definitely would be cheap logically. but at the small qty of building material, I doubt u will get competitive price. so at the end will come back to square (2) if u refer to those kampong wooden house (old generation type), then it's cheaper than brick. |
