Ground floor basic types

2 basic groups
solid ground floor - supported by ground
floor countinuosly supported by ground

suspended ground floor - spans between support
floor spans between support
example : kampung houses

There are 2 type of ground floor. what is the pros and cons in term of
Floor load
thermal insulation
preventing water and contaminant penetration
durability - water, dampness, soil pollutant, soil chemical composition, soil movements - it will influence the longevity to the floor

why the floor tile pop out in malaysia?
contraction too quickly due to temperature changed too dramastically
aircon switch on during night time . flooring become very cool

Practice that will avoid poping of the tile
1 .movement joint every 8 m - 10 m ( usually did not go beyond 16 m )
and it 5 mm - 10 mm width

2 . soak the tile - avoid sucking the moisture from the cement sand and cement sand will shrink and detached
1.5 mm to 3 mm cement grout - join between tiles

3 . cement sand screeding - in order all the surface of the tile receive even contact of cement equally

Trick : Ask the tile supplier teach the worker or educate them how to do proper tiling or if pop out then blame the supplier

5. Christopher Boehm ( 1982 )
hypothesized that the incremental development or moral complexity throughtout the hominid evolution was due to the increasing need to avoid disputes and injuries in moving to open savanna and developing stone weapons

6. Richard Dawkins in The God Delusion
"our morality is a result of our biological evolutionary history and the Moral Zeigeist helps describe how morality evolves from biological and cultural origins and evolves within time within culture "

7. Injudicial Systems
Lack of morality of he individual can be sufficient cause for punishment or can be an elements for grading of the punishment

In Politics
Group morality develops from shared concepts and beliefs

• Jonathan Haidt and Jjesse Graham studied the differences bet. attitudes in morality and politics among Liberals* and Conservatives**

Liberals* - moral choices depend upon harm / care, fairness / reciprocity

Conservatives ** - moral choices depend upon harm / care, fairness / reciprocity 礼尚往来
, in-group loyalty, authority / respect, purity / sanctity 尊严

• Individual who choose moral action are popularly held to possess "moral fiber" otherwise, they may be labeled as socially degenerate.

continued existence of a group may depend on widespread conformity to codes of morality; inability to adjust to moral codes in response to new challenges is sometimes credited to demise of a community.


For conservatives, liberals have an " anuthing goes " morality that says everthing shouold be pritted for the sake of inclusion and diversity, no matter how bizorre ( strange ) or depraved

For liberals, conservatives lack of basic moral compassion, especially for oppressed groups and take perverse joy in seeing the rich get richer
