The process of erecting a house or some kind of building includes a rather complex set of works that use mathematical calculations and analyses. However, is everything really so complicated with these GOSTs and intricate calculations? Let's try to answer this question in the course of considering the characteristics of the masonry mesh.
What is this?
Masonry mesh is an auxiliary structure, which is also called welded, since resistance welding is used in its manufacture. In its form, this is an ordinary mesh (almost like a chain-link, which stands on a neighbor's fence), which is used in the construction industry when laying walls, foundations and finishing. Here it acts as a reinforcing base to increase strength. In addition, masonry mesh GOST 23279-85 can be used for the foundation of buildings and when laying floors. The main function of this device is to obtain a perfect flat surface. And since these characteristics should be inherent in the floor, walls and foundation, it is there that it is used asone of the main shaping devices. Thus, masonry mesh is used for reinforcing all concrete and reinforced concrete structures, the main task of which is to provide a perfectly flat and smooth surface. Some builders call this element "the key to smooth walls." That is why the use of such a grid is indispensable in the construction of multi-storey residential buildings and buildings.
Production technology
Masonry mesh is produced exclusively on industrial equipment, since the future life of the whole house will depend on the quality of its manufacture: it will collapse in a few months or stand inviolably for several decades. Of course, a lot here depends on the quality of other building materials, and on the conscientiousness of the builders themselves, however, the mesh as one of the components in a wide range of works is an important link in the quality and reliability of structures. And it is produced depending on the type and length. The masonry mesh has different sizes, with cells of different sizes and with different diameters (3-5 mm) of the wire used on three types of machines:
- Stationary.
- Mobile.
- Portable.
At the same time, each type of the above equipment can be universal or specialized according to its intended purpose. All three machines are powered by electric current, which is either AC or DC. In this case, the amount of compression of the processed tool can vary from 0.01 to 100 kN.
Design of this construction tool
Masonry mesh is made of durable metal wire, which, using a special production technology, is formed by welding into a special design with an oppositely directed rod. This type of device is one of the varieties of steel metal mesh. At the same time, some types of meshes can be coated on top with an additional protective layer of metal, usually zinc.
