Armature knitting. The secret of monoliths (knitting reinforcement 4 times faster and saving 2 times)

The strength of the building itself depends on the correct connection of the reinforcement in the foundation. The main thing is to make such a frame that would withstand high loads. How to knit rebar?

The reinforcement is installed in a pre-dug trench. Before this, the frame reinforcement is installed after the installation of the formwork. Then concrete is poured, waterproofing is carried out, etc.

The concrete itself does not provide guarantees against deformation and shrinkage of the constructed building. Therefore, reinforcement is used.

Rebar rods are plastic and eliminate concrete imperfections. Reinforcement not only increases strength. This helps reduce concrete costs.

Steel reinforcement is usually used. The armature can be welded and bent. Fiberglass fittings are on sale. Its main advantage is that it does not rust, it is lighter and cheaper.

Rebar tying (monoliths trick)

Usually knitting is carried out with wire, couplings (threaded or crimped), clips (staples), clamps and welding.

More advanced builders use a knitting gun. But it is not convenient to use it in hard-to-reach places. It is expensive (about $ 30,000). rub.).

Most use a crochet hook, and even pliers. Someone makes a homemade hook from a regular nail.

The Monolith's Cunning

The essence of knitting reinforcement for piles is that transverse squares can be made of welded metal mesh (cells 100x100).

It is used to reinforce road surfaces, fences, and other building structures. Mesh material - low carbon steel wire. Wire thickness 3.5 mm.

Even squares are cut out and then reinforcement is knitted. it accelerates process 4 times. But it's not just about accelerated work. With this idea, you can save on workpieces and fittings approximately twice.
