Reinforced concrete block is made of cable reinforcement and concrete, which is moisture resistant and durable. It has become widespread in the construction industry: in the creation of a strip solid foundation, the installation of wall structures in basements and multi-storey buildings. The size of the blocks is selected in accordance with the expected load on them.
Benefits
The cost of the product is determined by the components used, size and purpose. It is worth noting that this material must be of high quality, since the strength and durability of the building depend on it. The reinforced concrete block has many advantages, among which it is worth highlighting the following:
- Affordable value. Reinforced concrete structures are much cheaper than steel structures.
- Long service life. Products can be subjected to constant stress for many years, while they retain their previous density and reliability. The warranty period can reach 100 years.
- Resistant to biological and chemical attack. Blocks are not subject to the development of microorganisms and mold, as well as to substances with aggressive chemical composition.
- Fire safety. The reinforced concrete block is highly resistant to open flame and high temperature values.
- Ability to transfer dynamic and static loads. A building constructed from such a composite material is able to withstand the mass of any structural elements and soil pressure. Also, he is not afraid of the weight of the snow accumulated on the roof, and the impact of the wind.
Floor slabs
Reinforced concrete floor slabs are used to create interfloor structures in objects with any purpose and have a silicate concrete base. Products can have a ribbed or straight shape. A characteristic feature of the first option is the gap between the ribs, its length is within 100 cm.
The slabs act as supports in the creation of the floor and ceiling, their brand and dimensions are selected according to the load, the possibility of using additional insulating elements and operating conditions. They are not subject to subsidence and are highly reliable.
Reinforcement of products allows you to achieve maximum strength. It is possible to use both standard reinforcement and stressed reinforcement, which increases the degree of tolerable impact. So reinforced concrete floor slabs acquire greater durability and reliability.
Scope of use of blocks
The main purpose is to create load-bearing structures in multi-storey buildings. Different brands of products have certain properties and different levels of resistance to constant load in the temperature range from -60 to +50 degrees. It can be used not only for arranging the foundation of buildings, but also for technological basements and wall structures. Products of the FBS type have gained the widest distribution for creating foundations and erecting unheated premises (warehouses, garages and basements).
Features
The price for a reinforced concrete block is set in the range of 400-3000 rubles (depending on weight and size). Products are also used in the construction of prefabricated objects, the constituent elements of which are produced by construction plants and special combines. Due to this, the principle of erecting such buildings is similar to the designer. Today, two types of prefabricated base made of blocks have gained sufficient distribution - this is a strip and glass foundation. The reinforced concrete elements in the latter version additionally bear the load of the supporting frame columns. The use as part of the tape base has its own specifics. They act as a cushion, ensuring uniform transfer of the applied loads. It is worth noting that a reinforced concrete block significantly speeds up the process of building a house and reduces construction costs.
Views
Currently, there are several varieties of products, each of which has its own advantages and application features. The most widely used composite material FBS, which is also divided into several types. It has the following dimensions: length from 2400 to 400 mm, height and width - from 600 to 300 mm. It is worth highlighting the following varieties:
- Void structures. Internal cavities in them are intended for heat-insulating materials. They are lighter than other types and are used for foundations on floating or difficult ground.
- Solid products with grooves. Allow to reduce the cost of connecting heat and water networks due to the possibility of laying communications in special cutouts.
- A solid reinforced concrete block, sized according to the type of building, has no voids and high-strength reinforcement for use in seismological conditions.
