How to tie the reinforcement correctly? It is enough to know only two straps

Greetings dear Kulibins and homemade products. Today I will show you two types of fittings for fittings, thanks to which you can assemble a frame of any complexity.

Why did I decide to write about the types of strapping? We are building another gas station nearby and I walk by the construction site almost every day. I stop, examine, observe what and how they are doing. And yesterday I stopped to watch the guys make a frame of reinforcement for a canopy column.

The first thing that surprised me was that the guys assemble the frame on plastic clamps, followed by a welder with a semiautomatic device and weld it all at the joints with tacks. I thought that this is a new technology and the guys just assemble the structure, and then they will go through it again for wire strapping. But then I decided to ask.

He told the guys that it is not right to cook fittings, because the potholders would simply burst when the concrete was poured and solidified, and suddenly there were wind and power loads. To which they answered me - "Uncle, what are you doing, this is concrete")) I offered to show them a simple strapping of wire, they say it would be reliable. But I was told that one centimeter of welding can withstand almost 2 tons of weight and that wire strapping is the last century and no one does it anymore.

So I dedicate this post to those who have not done this for a long time (do not use the harness)))) Better do it, you will not regret it. And I will show you two simple types of strapping, which will be quite enough. First, we go to the household market and buy a hook for tying.

The first type of strapping is the simplest. Take a piece of wire and fold it in half. We start the loop under the crosshairs of two fittings.

Next, we put the hook into the loop from the bottom and lift the loop up.

Then we install the hook exactly in the center of the crosshair, and remove the loop slack by pulling on the free ends of the wire, as shown in the photo.

Next, we wrap the free ends of the wire around the hook, as shown in the photo.

Now we hold the free ends of the wire with our hands and rotate the hook clockwise.

One turn around the axis is enough and you get a reliable, simplest harness. Next, take out the hook and you're done.

Such a strapping has a risk of angular displacement of the reinforcement, as shown in the photo. To avoid such bias. The next crosshair is tied mirrored to the previous one. That is, the wire is not wound from left to right, but vice versa.

The second type of strapping is more complicated, but it is more reliable and prevents angular displacement of the reinforcement. Here the loop is wound under the longitudinal reinforcement and brought out over the transverse one.

The hook is wound like a wire, under the longitudinal reinforcement and the loop is grasped over the transverse one.

With a hook, the loop is brought back under the lower reinforcement, as shown in the photo.

But professional knitters do this, it's easier and faster for them. I do this whole procedure with my hands, that is, I immediately start up the wire as shown in the photo without using a hook. But then the hook must be used.

We put the hook on top of the transverse reinforcement and tie the free ends of the wire around it.

Then everything is in the same way, we rotate the hook clockwise tightening the wire.

Here it is already necessary to make 2-3 turns of the hook, depending on the slack of the wire. The main thing is not to overdo it, otherwise the wire will burst.

That's all. It couldn't be easier, and most importantly, reliable. I apologize to the experienced self-made people for such a banal post, but many really do not know this.

Goodbye to everyone. Mikhalych was with you, I wish you Peace and Good. See you in the next posts))
