Elements of building construction: reinforced concrete lintels

Considering the ancient monuments of architecture, you can see that they did not use certain elements, which are often used now. For example, builders have not used reinforced concrete bridges before. Instead, brick was used in construction.

It should be noted that joists (reinforced concrete) significantly facilitate the process of erecting the building. Of great importance are the performance properties of the material. The reinforced concrete bridge is able to withstand a relatively high weight. This is especially important when building buildings in several floors. Since 1802, reinforced concrete began to be used in construction. This material gradually became one of the main in the construction of multi-storey buildings.

Reinforced concrete bridges are elements of construction that are very popular today. Most often these elements are used in the construction of openings (window and door). In addition, reinforced concrete bridges are also used in other cases. For example, in the construction of vineyards, fences, fences.

Reinforced concrete bridges are highly resistant to environmental influences, in particular, to precipitation, as well as aggressive biological and chemical substances. Among the merits of these designs, it should be noted their high strength, fire resistance. Equally important is the relatively affordable cost of the elements, as well as the ease of their installation.

Reinforced concrete bridges are erected simultaneously with the construction of walls and can be ready factory or monolithic. The latter is poured directly into place. In construction, however, the use of reinforced concrete precast reinforced concrete jumpers is more popular. They have a number of advantages. In particular, the finished factory elements are installed directly on the opening of the opening. This significantly saves construction time, due to the fact that workers do not stand idle. Another important fact is that factory products undergo special quality control, since they belong to the category of load-bearing structures. However, despite a fairly strict control of the release of elements, improper installation can disrupt the operational properties of products.

Despite the fact that there are different design methods, some general rules are adopted. However, in a number of cases, elements with a load greater than the planned load are used. This choice is acceptable. You can not select jumpers with less than the planned load-bearing capacity.

Before installing the elements, it is necessary to check the supporting parts of the walls (this is done with the help of a level). When constructing jumpers, remember that when designing and creating structures one load direction is taken into account. In this regard, they must be installed in a certain position in relation to other elements of the wall construction. This not only makes the appearance of the building more aesthetic, but also increases the stability of the structure.
