Lightweight aggregate blocks with their hands

lightweight aggregate blocks are presented in the form of a light wall blocks made of lightweight aggregate mixture by volume block-making.

Ideally, in the mixture should be included cement, expanded clay, expanded clay and sand, therefore - expanded clay blocks with their hands can make one.

Environmentally friendly building materials under consideration is equivalent to the environmental performance of ceramic bricks, because the entire production process involves the use of only natural materials.

Of course, the use of lightweight aggregate concrete blocks in construction has its drawbacks presented by fragile, porous structure, is not such a high level of hardiness.

Despite this, it blocks out of a mixture of concrete and expanded clay are considered the most effective solution in the construction oflow-rise buildings.

excellent option would be to build a cottage for two or three floors with ceilings between the floors of reinforced concrete slabs.

cost price of construction work reduced by thirty percent, when compared to the size of the budget that must be spent by using a simple brick.

benefit is even more noticeable when you learn to produce lightweight aggregate blocks with their hands.

considered to increase the strength of the construction material may be enriched or quartz sand.

The second option is preferable because it allows you to stack the finished product, concrete slabs for the floors.

Expanded clay sand can be used for the manufacture of blocks for walls with a small load carrier.

We produce blocks independently

Following the below technologies can independently cast expanded clay blocks, and on the day, in the presence of teams of two people, it will be possible to produce 120-150 units of this material.

The first stage production of lightweight aggregate concrete blocks with his hands involves the preparation of a special form of configuration.

Produce can be of the usual wooden planks: 2 L-shaped boards and pallet.

From the inside will need obbit form tin.At the ends of the two halves make special valves that will prevent arbitrary resizing.

Depending on the purpose of use keramsit form can be of any shape, for example, 19 by 19 by 14 cm or 39 by 19 by 14 cm

Before making expanded clay blocks himself, prepare the other instruments in the form of -. Trowel, shoveland a metal plate on which the weight of lightweight aggregate is mixed and constructed.

Prepare the following components:

• The binder element, use 1 part cement brand M400 is not below;
• Expanded clay in an amount of 8 parts will delay by about 300-500 kg per cubic meter.In desyatilitrovom bucket you fit about five kg of expanded clay of 5-20 mm;
• Water - Part 1;
• three parts sand without impurities of clay;
• 1 hour. L.detergent solution would make it more pliable.

manufacturing lightweight aggregate concrete blocks with his hands begins with the mixing of the above components.

Cook the mixture and poured the entire solution in water using a trowel or shovel.

You get a kind of cake, which for some time should be left alone.The solution was then thoroughly mixed.

Ready solution put in the form, use the equipment for the manufacture of lightweight aggregate concrete blocks with their hands to create a vibrating pulse.

also can do the usual movements of the shovel, which will resemble the work of such equipment.

Some day wait for the cement to form seize, remove it, disengage the locks.At 48 hours, leave it to dry.

full curing process is carried out for 28 days.

Getting laying

Compared to traditional laying bricks in the construction of the walls, the lightweight aggregate concrete masonry units with their own hands will take much less time.

For the process should be prepared taking into account the cementitious adhesive, with 35 kg of dry ingredient per cubic meter of the wall.

openings in the area is better to use a metal area L40.On each side of the support should be 10 cm.

aggregate concrete masonry blocks with their hands begins with the grinding binder solution top unit to achieve greater uniformity.

Next you need to push the block to the neighboring building element butting, leave a gap of 5 cm and push into place.

Edge unit should get a little of the solution, to form a vertical seam length not more than a centimeter.

to masonry was beautiful and neat seams must be properly formed.

thus uses the same method of laying as in the case of standard bricks.

Observe the rows of the dressing, use a rubber mallet and a whole set of tools for high-grade masonry.

Nuance is that for sealing joints and seams used fittings, not construction mesh.

further series should begin on the fixture.

Approximately every two or three rows do not forget to alternate laying of expanded clay blocks with armature.

Regularly check the clutch with the level, since the blocks may be tapered.

Manufactured their own hands lightweight aggregate blocks can be safely combined with any kind of concrete structure or building material.

Masonry is implemented to the center of the corners around the perimeter.Best of all - at the same time lay the elements inside and out by placing a layer of reinforcement along the complete series.

After the process is required to make the reinforcement zone in the concrete structure, which will evenly distribute the load on the walls.

quality of aggregate concrete masonry blocks can be in strict compliance with technology and advice, as well as the use of high quality building materials.

For the independent production units of the material in question and further stacking is recommended to work at least twice with a partner, and if the team will be more than 3 people, process, respectively, will be completed much faster
