What is building reinforcement
Reinforcement should be understood as a type of rolled metal, which is designed to increase the strength characteristics of any reinforced concrete structures. This is possible due to the fact that metal reinforcement can carry various loads and thereby prevents the destruction of the concrete part of the structure. According to the principle of location in the object, the reinforcement can be longitudinal or transverse.
Thus, if you want to increase the strength characteristics of a future building, then feel free to undertake to reinforce any structure. Today, construction fittings are available to everyone due to their low cost and compliance with their requirements.
- Let's see what types of fittings are available.
- By the type of construction, the following types are distinguished: welded mesh, channel, frame, rod, corner and I-beam.
- By the type of surface, smooth and corrugated are distinguished. Grooved is a rod with protrusions that are evenly spaced along the entire length of the product.
- According to the material of manufacture, they distinguish between steel reinforcement and metal, that is, made of other metals.
- According to the method of installation, they are divided into knitted, welded, frame, mesh and rod.
The manufactured reinforcement can be supplied in coils or rods, it depends on the diameter of the product. As a rule, all types up to 10 mm are made in skeins, and with a large section, with rods.
This type of rolled metal is used to reinforce reinforced concrete panels, slabs, floors. In the construction of a private economy, reinforcement with a diameter of 12 mm is most often used. Cold-rolled types of this product are used for mesh reinforcement, and hot-rolled ones for an additional increase in strength characteristics.
