Masonry - what is this device and where is it used?

The process of erecting a house or a building involves a rather complex set of works, in which mathematical calculations and analyzes are used. But is it really so difficult with these GOSTs and intricate calculations? Let's try to answer this question in the course of consideration of the masonry grid characteristics.

What it is?

Masonry mesh is an auxiliary structure, also called welded, because it is made using contact welding. In its form it is a usual grid (almost like a rabitsa, which stands on a neighbor's fence), which is used in the construction industry for laying walls, foundation and decoration. Here it performs the function of a reinforcing base for increasing strength. In addition, the grid masonry GOST 23279-85 can be used for the foundation of buildings and flooring. The main function of this device is to obtain an ideal 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 basic forming devices. Thus, the masonry net is used for reinforcing 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 "a pledge 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

Masonry mesh is made exclusively on industrial equipment, since the quality of its production will depend on the future life of the whole house: it will collapse after a few months or remain unbreakable for several decades. Of course, much depends on the quality of the rest of the construction materials, and on the integrity of the builders themselves, but 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 made depending on the type and length. The mesh dimensions have different dimensions , with cells of different sizes and with different diameters (3-5 mm) of the wire used on three types of machines:

1. Stationary.
2. Mobile.
3. Portable.

In this case, each type of the above equipment for its intended purpose can be universal or specialized. All three machines are powered by an electric current, which is either variable or constant. In this case, the compression value of the tool being processed can vary from 0.01 to 100 kN.

The construction of this construction tool

The mesh net is made of a strong metal wire, which, with special production technology, is welded into a special design with an oppositely directed rod. This type of device is one of the types of steel mesh. In this case, some types of grids from above can be covered with an additional protective layer of metal, usually zinc.
