Most under the word "column" represent Greek, antique structures that adorn ancient temples and majestic buildings. Today, however, reinforced concrete columns are used in the construction of buildings. Often they are used to create more durable frame structures of building objects.
reinforced concrete columns used to create frame structures for various construction projects. Reinforced concrete columns are also an excellent fastening system for crossbars, arches, purlins, construction trays and beams. For the manufacture of reinforced concrete structures, heavy concrete models (grades 300 and 200) are used. Now the reinforced frame is especially popular in the construction of houses, for the production of which special fittings are used.
The main purpose of reinforced concrete columns is to strengthen the strength of industrial buildings, one-story and multi-story construction projects. Precast concrete columns are often used for the manufacture of frame structures necessary for uniform distribution of the power load.
For the manufacture of two-branch reinforced concrete columns, a special reinforced concrete solution is used. Externally, these structures are typical vertical building elements, the distinguishing feature of which is a small cross section.The use of these structures allows you to stabilize the frame of a building object, as well as form a frame or connected frame.
Technical characteristics of reinforced concrete structures:
Excellent resistance to environmental factors;
Full compliance with the criteria of the load-bearing structures of the construction site;
Stability of seismic impact on the construction object;
High degree of tightness and moisture resistance;
Excellent tolerance to high and low temperatures.
When choosing reinforced concrete structures, in particular reinforced concrete columns, you should pay attention to the following parameters:
Data of genealogical analysis of the material;
Atmospheric precipitation and ambient temperature, in which the reinforced concrete column will subsequently be installed;
The number of floors of the construction object under construction;
The use of reinforced concrete columns in residential or industrial buildings;
Suitable cost and strength of concrete.
