The process of building a house or some building includes a rather complex set of works in which mathematical calculations and analyzes are used. However, is it really so complicated with these GOSTs and intricate calculations? Let's try to answer this question during the consideration of the characteristics of the masonry net.
What it is?
Masonry mesh is an auxiliary structure, which is also called welded, since contact welding is used in its manufacture. In its form, it is an ordinary grid (almost like a netting that stands on a fence near a neighbor), which is used in the construction industry for laying walls, foundations and decoration. Here it serves as a reinforcing base to increase strength. In addition, the masonry grid GOST 23279-85 can be used for the foundation of buildings and for flooring. The main function of this device is to get a perfect flat surface. And since these characteristics should be inherent in the floor, walls and foundation, it is there that it is used as one of the main shaping devices. Thus, the masonry mesh is used in the reinforcement of all concrete and reinforced concrete structures, the main task of which is to ensure a perfectly smooth and smooth surface. Some builders call this element "the guarantee of 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
The masonry mesh is made exclusively on industrial equipment, since the future life of the whole house will depend on the quality of its manufacture: it will fail in a few months or it will stand indestructibly 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 grid as one of the components in a wide range of works is an important link in the issue of quality and reliability of structures. And it is produced depending on the type and length. The masonry grid 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.
- Traveling.
- Wearable.
Moreover, each type of the above equipment can be universal or specialized for its intended purpose. All three machines are powered by electric current, which is either alternating or constant. In this case, the compression value of the processed tool can vary from 0.01 to 100 kN.
The construction of this building tool
The masonry mesh is made of durable metal wire, which, with a special production technology by welding, is formed into a special structure with an oppositely directed rod. This type of device is one of the varieties of steel wire mesh. Moreover, some types of nets from above can be covered with an additional protective layer of metal, usually zinc.
