Nigeria- Infrastructure experts in the country have clarified that the grade of a cement does not cause faults and eventual collapse of a building.
Rather, they said that building collapse is caused by the wrong application of cement with other components. The experts noted that the 32.5 grade is good for everyday building and construction just like the 42.5 and the 52.5 grades of cement, adding that even if 100.5 grade of cement is used and wrongly applied, it would lead to building collapse; just the same way it will happen if a lesser grade is used. They cautioned that to avoid building collapses in the country, the advice of a structural engineer must be sought in any building project.
The Experts gathered at a conference at the Sheraton Hotels, Ikeja, Lagos, under the to xtray the theme, “Effect of cement strength on concrete performance.” Daily Independent says.
At the end of the programme, the Institution gave recommendations to the Nigerians, on the rules to follow to avoid building collapse.
