Brickwork - reinforcement

Performs a clutch, increased steel reinforcement, which lies on the ground in a mortar between the bricks. When squeezing action forces, reinforcement of the seams despite the friction and adhesion with the cement works together with the masonry. Reinforcement is divided into - lengthwise and crosswise. Transverse reinforcement - carry a mesh or a few bars. Terminals accept cross lengthening efforts that begin with grimaces masonry prevent break bricks with twists and tension that they increase the carrying capacity of squeezed element. Columns and walls are reinforced intersecting mesh reinforcement. Size rods for lateral reinforcement of masonry, may be not less than 2,5 mm and not more than 8 mm. Together the diameter of reinforcement in rectangular grids must be 5 mm zigzag no thicker than 8 mm. Use of large diameter valves initiates impermissible increase in the thickness of the horizontal joints and a decrease in strength of masonry. To protect against rust reinforcement mesh top and bottom cover shell of the solution of not less than 2 mm. Reinforcing the rectangular grid is placed no closer in 5 rows of masonry, with thick brick after 4 series. Staggered grid paired in 2 adjacent rows in order to line the rods they had mutually perpendicular. For the distance between the zigzag grids get the distance between grids 1 direction. The rods are welded nets or interconnected special wire. The distance between the rods in the grids should be 30 mm and not more than 120 mm. Mesh must be of such a diameter so that the ends of the rods protruded by 3 mm to 1 of the inner surfaces of the column or wall. According to the ends of controlling the presence of reinforcement in the masonry. Vertical and longitudinal reinforcement of masonry is used for: the perception of stress in the lengthening arches constrained designs, namely small walls and partitions to increase their stability pillars. Separation of the rods and their location is shown in the project.
