How to Knit a reinforcement cage for the foundation

Since skeleton - a basis of foundation, the quality of which depends on the strength of the entire structure as a whole, binding reinforcement and, specifically, the method of production of these works are of great importance in determining the quality and reliability of structures.The strength of construction and the ability to withstand any effects of the environment, are directly dependent on how well connected reinforcement elements: the type of reinforcement and its amount used in laying the foundation, the method of binding rods.

Choice rods for construction

main indicator in determining the use of a specific brand of fittings in a particular foundation, according to the diameter.Thicker bars will take more tension and other loads.The diameter is determined by the design of the structure on the basis of indicators of soil heaving, planned weight construction.But not all in the construction projects strictly adhere to, while others, in general, they do not is.What are the bars used, if construction is under way without the project?

to build a house out of foam, heat and gazoblokov, a small country house, garage, suitable rods in diameter up to 12 mm.The use of the laying of the foundation rods with a diameter less than 12 mm is prohibited.

If the planned construction of thorough, large buildings, reinforce the foundation of the foundation of large-diameter bars.When planning the construction, be sure to look at the class rods.In a particular construction of suitable A-3 class.Such metal even in cold bent 90 degrees without consequences.It is also used, but much less frequently, and the bars of the A-2 class, bending 180 degrees cold.About how to pour the foundation, read here.

Systems knitted reinforcement cage

to knit foundation reinforcement can be either manually or semi-automated.If

knit hands, it is expected to use a special hook or pliers.Tie rods in place of their usual crossing wire section from 0.8 to 1.2 mm.For wire bundle folded in half, twisting twigs about a couple dozen centimeters of double wire.Then the ends wrapped around the reinforcing bars, you need a pair of pliers to twist together.

If the connection reinforcing rods passes with a hook for breeding, the process looks like this: double fold the wire carrying the cross hairs, the resulting loop is put on the hook, and the second end is also put on the hook, then begin to rotate the tool.This leads to delays in the compound.

Crochet hook can be replaced with a screw.Screw the hook too twists the wire, but it is only enough to pull the handle.

Admittedly, the hand-knitted reinforcement sufficiently durable and energy-intensive.An easier way to connect reinforcement cage - use of knitting gun.

It greatly simplifies the process of tie himself and at times reduces the time required to perform this procedure.Tie a piece of reinforcing rods at

presence knitting gun spent no more than two seconds.To operate the unit only need to press the trigger button.With all the advantages of such equipment, its only significant drawback - the high cost.From thousands of dollars or more.Crochet gun is indispensable in the construction of large buildings and structures, and use it on the low-rise construction sites irrationally.
