Reinforced concrete structures

Because of how steel works with concrete, we can divide the reinforced concrete structures.

* Reinforced concrete - are lining forming a reinforcement steel bars that can be placed in concrete in the construction or still in the studio where he produced prefabricated reinforced concrete. The combination of concrete, which has good resistance to compressive stresses and steel rods resistant to tensile stress, is formed using a material which can create very durable reinforced concrete structures.

* Siatkobeton - element of the defense is having a square mesh grid with sides of 6 to 12 minimetrów. Using this type of mesh material gives high tensile strength and other dynamic loads, protects against the formation of cracks and gives the material high tightness.

* Compressed concrete - is formed by introducing a compressive stress, thanks to a stretch of reinforcement elements, which are the steel parts with very high strength. These stresses are the opposite of stress that will occur during use of the material, so that they will balance the stress. Concrete compressed due to the stress placed on the manufacture of the material can be divided into:

* Strunobeton - formed by stretching the steel wires and flooding them with concrete when the concrete has reached sufficient strength tendons are released. With this operation arises from the compressed concrete is made such as bridge beams or floor slabs.

* Kablobeton - element of the arms are steel cables that are introduced into specific channels and pulls. Channels where the tensioned cables are filled with concrete.

* Drutobeton - characterized by the fact that the concrete shall be uniformly short and thin steel wires.

Reinforced concrete structures is used very often at construction sites, roads and bridges, that is, where has a large strength of materials. When construction is often used prefabricated reinforced concrete, which is done at the factory ready components, which takes you on a construction site and combines with other elements of the structure. As for prefabricated reinforced concrete, it is produced, for example, beams, bridge, road infrastructure elements such as barriers, walls and culverts. For applications in residential construction floor slabs are produced, whether such cross-stairs and benches and footings. In addition to the uses of reinforced concrete structures used in construction also for many other purposes.
