What do you think determines the reliability of the building? What is the main link in it? Of course, the frame of the building, namely the reinforced concrete columns, without which it is difficult to imagine at least one modern structure, such as a residential building, a factory building or an office building.
What are concrete columns? This is a metal reinforcement filled with high-strength concrete from above. One material in this product complements the other, that is, what concrete cannot cope with is reinforcement, and vice versa. And the result is a universal product with excellent qualities:
- great for structural support;
- can be erected for a long service life;
- have the optimal and different lengths of products;
- thanks to the universal composition they are moisture-proof;
At specialized enterprises, these structures are manufactured taking into account all stringent requirements and GOSTs.
Features of the production of reinforced concrete products.
When manufacturing, employees are guided by the document GOST 18979-90 and working drawings.
Heavy, durable concrete is used as the main raw material, which is characterized as resistant to compression. There are differences in the appearance of the columns for the construction of high-rise buildings and for single-story buildings and village buildings, but the materials remain the same, that is, they are durable and of high quality.
Inside concrete, reinforcement and wire play the role of a metal rod. This material is added for greater resistance to loads of the entire structure. For example, if it is assumed that the column will be used in difficult atmospheric conditions and in a building with a large weight, then there should be longitudinal rods inside the column, fixed for strength with clamps or rods.
But not any metal is suitable for the formation of reinforced concrete columns. It should be of high quality and flexible, so that it is easy to weld the structure if necessary, and not to corrode for a long time.
What other qualities should be sure to have concrete columns?
- Columns must be rigid;
- They should not be brittle, much less cracked;
- Columns must be able to withstand extreme temperature changes and freezing;
- The main purpose of columns is to support. And this support should not be afraid of moisture, let alone hold it;
- The thickness of the layer from concrete to reinforcement must be such as to protect the entire structure from collapse.
