In a suburban area, sometimes you have to equip a cesspool if there is no central sewer nearby. A good option is to use reinforced concrete rings for these purposes. The volume of each product is different, so you need to purchase the design of the right size.
Sump Rings
The mentioned products are made of B25 concrete, so the service life of the rings reaches 100 years due to the fact that they have high frost resistance (F100) and water permeability (W4). To accurately determine the classification of a reinforced concrete ring, you should study its marking. First, the type of product is indicated, for example, KSD is a wall ring with a bottom. After that, the size of the reinforced concrete ring, indicated in meters, should be written. Simply put, KS 15.9 is a wall ring with an inner diameter of 1.5 m and a height of 0.9 m.
If you need to build a cesspool, then first of all you need to calculate the dimensions of future drains, and then calculate the required number of reinforced concrete rings. The standard height of products for these works is 90 cm, and the diameter is 70-200 cm.
Products come in several types:
- national teams;
- with lid;
- sbottom;
- additional.
For a country house, a cesspool is made of reinforced concrete rings with a bottom and a lid.
Reinforced concrete product volume
The main thing is to know the amount of waste that the structure must contain in one day of use. As a rule, the minimum volume of a concrete ring for a cesspool is 6 m3. To accurately calculate this indicator, you need to multiply the number of residents by 200 liters, and multiply the result by 3. The final amount must be divided by 1000 to get a number with which you can determine the required volume of the reinforced concrete ring.
However, there is a simple mathematical method to accurately determine the volume of an item by knowing its height, length and width. All technical indicators must be indicated on the marking of the reinforced concrete structure, so it will not be difficult to simply multiply them to determine the volume of the purchased reinforced concrete ring.
Benefits of using the design
The advantages of the reinforced concrete ring include:
- long service life (about 100 years);
- low cost;
- fast installation using special equipment;
- high waterproofing properties;
- resistance to loads;
- high volume ring;
- protection from groundwater.
The main disadvantage is that the product is heavy, so you will have to hire trucks to install the specified design.
Bconclusion
Summer residents often build cesspools using reinforced concrete rings, but first you need to calculate their required volume. The material provided an easy way to do this.
