Menm lakay vwazen an, mwen we se fer ak konkret selman ki nan dal beton an... Epi li pi mins pase beton lakay...

Eske tou de solid, oswa eske gen yonn ki mal fet?

Nan zafe goudougoudou sa-a fok yon moun konnen anba kisa wap domi...

English...

I notice that in Haiti, home builders lay cement blocks(block 10)on the roof tops and pour concrete over it... Why is that? I don't notice this practice elsewhere.

Even next-door, I notice that only rebar and concrete is used in concrete roofs. And they are a bit thinner than at home.

Are they both solid structures or is one more solid than the other?

With earthquakes in Haiti, we have to be careful...

So... Why the cement blocks???

M'pagen anpil konesans nan domèn kontriksyon non. Panse pa'm; m'kwè se paske dokay la ap plein pivit.

Inkyetid mwen; m'pakwè block yo sonid non, epi ni'm pakwè gen yon etid ki fèt vreman sou metod saa.

Li tabon anpil si moun ki gen konesans ak ekprians tafè yon ti pataj ak nou sou paj
