Reinforcement is the basis of many construction work, due to which one or another design becomes practically monolithic and durable. The most interesting thing is that reinforcement is used in almost all aspects of construction, starting by the foundation and ending with the decorative plaster of the already erected walls. Despite the overall simplicity associated with the strengthening of structures, it is worth paying attention to some subtleties of the process, such as the volume of material for reinforcement, as well as the layout of these elements.

As for directly facing brickwork, this is the most important component of the building structure, since the appearance of the structure depends on this, at a minimum. You can pay attention to various multi-storey houses that at one time could boast the presence of facing tiles, but at one point this surface began to naturally crumble, creating not only the unattractive appearance of the structure, but also a huge danger to others. Of course, with a brick masonry that performs the function of the facing, everything is much safer, but reinforcement will make this component even more reliable.

I reinforce facing brickwork. Features reinforcement

As practice shows, the elements of building structures themselves are not durable or durable. Concrete is a material that begins to crumble even with minimal contact with external factors. Accordingly, if reinforcement in building structures were not used, a much more practical basis for buildings was a tree or some other resources. In fact, when combining with reinforcing elements, the concrete is incredibly durable, and the structure itself is easily served faithfully for tens, and even hundreds of years. Accordingly, this aspect easily leaves behind the rest of the building materials used before.

If we talk about the choice of reinforcement, then much depends on what we have the scale of construction. If the construction of a multi-storey building occurs, then the armature of large diameter is used as the basis. Such a decision is justified by the fact that a large design will take on colossal loads, so the safety margin must be appropriate. At the same time, do not forget that the scale of the design is more than large, therefore the role of reinforcement increases significantly.

In the case of brick facing masonry, we have a slightly different situation. The facing surface itself is not the most important basis of the construction structure, so there is no need to use fittings and is not at all. A sufficiently minimal clutch in the form of a metal wire so that the facing existed for long years while being in the initial state.

Reinforcement process facing brick masonry

• First of all, we will need a wire. According to experts, it is enough to use a 4 mm thick for the reinforcement brickwork. Practice shows that it is distinguished by high plasticity, as well as sufficient strength to ensure high loss of facing.
• You need to cut the wire in such a way as to successfully apply it to reinforce. For standard brick lining, there will be enough wire length of 40 cm. To high-quality cutting, you should use a boltology or a conventional grinder.
• Next follows a responsible process associated with laying wire. In the upper part of the wire masonry will be clamped with bricks, and then connect the lining with the undercut. Thus, reinforcement occurs approximately every 70 cm. An important requirement is the need for reinforcement in a checker order. Experts argue that this is the most reliable option that can only exist during the reinforcement of facing masonry.
• If you need to strengthen the usual wall or siding crates, the above method can also be used freely, and the structure strength remains at a high level.

Other features of the reinforcement process

• It is important to pay attention to the fact that the location of the reinforcing elements occurs horizontally. That is, the wire is located in a step of 70 cm, all horizontal bands should not go on one line, but the groza. This will ensure the highest reliability of reinforcement.
• Use a smaller reinforcement step is meaningless. First of all, for the reason that the design itself will not become stronger, but more materials will be spent, the mass of resources will be involved, thereby occasing an additional load on the design.
• Entering more massive elements of reinforcement makes sense only when there is a free access to them, it is not unambiguous to acquire such a material. But, with any scenario, you should not use fittings, even if it is thin enough.
