Window opening without jumper. Whether such a structure will survive?

The strength of a reserve - it is always good. But is it always justified?

For many hundreds of years, already much has changed and improved in the construction business.

And at the same time, building technologies are drawn to us for a long time, and something new, a person perceives disbelief.

✔ How much time I write articles about how build a house of aerated concrete, so much time, many of the comments say This absolutely can not doThis is not a structural material, and serve maximum of 10-15 years.

To argue and explain what it is, to put it mildly is not true, I would not (probably not until all the information has reached). I'd rather tell you about another, incomprehensible to many thingThat did in his house:

Windows without bars.

If I, a newcomer in the building, which is a little that know about it until I heard the beginning of its construction, even I probably laughed.

As can hold elements of the masonry in the air without any support?

But the aerated concrete - is another story. And the only one who experienced this, will be able to really understand everything.

🔹 All this came up I did not.

Of course the construction of a lot of time, I had to invent, and invent, but not this. With regard to the fundamental things, I try to listen to the professionals (but not always).

❗ So the main thing for me, a specialist in the field of AACIs "the president Association of aerated concrete in Russia" Gleb Green (like so).

And it was from him that I had heard the recommendation not to use jumper in the masonry of aerated concrete, in the wrong place. And besides, he applied it to their own experience, building your own home (who are interested, be sure to see a lot of important talks about aerated).

🔹 apply to themselves.

And so I decided to use this technology in their home. In laying the openings of the first floor, I used jumpers (on theBo all the nuances read here). But on the pediments I decided to perform an experiment.

And these are the main reasons why I did so:

✔ Size matters.

It is important in this regard. Nobody says that you can do without a clutch jumper on the three-meter spans. It's obvious. But my little window in the attic, one meter wide, exactly suited for this.

And all because of the size of the blocks themselves, which in a relatively small opening for them, stand up and keep at the disposal themselves.

✔ No loads.

Plus, my gables - is the final part of the whole masonry. And there is no load on top of them will not. Only its own weight blocks.

✔ But the reinforcement has not been canceled.

And it is also very important. "Dangerous place", such as the corners of the window opening, will not disappear, so the stress out of need. Therefore, a series of sill, and the top, I proarmiroval,

And while a number above a window made more enhanced. Stroebe and bigger, thicker and fittings.

❗ So that the very reinforcement, will be like a jumper.

Here, so I applied, another controversial technology. Do I have a concern about it? Yes, a little there, as well, and according to all that I could do from scratch and up to this point.
