Reinforced concrete overlappings continue to be demanded even in age of new construction methods. The concrete combination to iron armature allows plates and panels to maintain heavy static and dynamic loads which arise at construction of buildings of difficult configuration and various height.
Advantages of plates and panels
Plates of reinforced concrete overlappings provide to framework of any building stability, durability, fire safety and space rigidity. Their ratio between quality characteristics and cost is the most relevant. Such prefabricated elements are universal as the technology of their production allows to build of them, both country houses, and large housing / malls.
Plates and panels from reinforced concrete are ideally combined with other construction materials – brick, concrete blocks and so on.
In addition, the plate from reinforced concrete has high bearing capacity which is reached due to rigidity and firmness of the panel of overlapping at deformation on break and also quite high level of thermal and sound isolation. It allows to build the building which will conform completely to regulatory requirements and to provide comfortable stay to his future residents.
Production and application of plates and panels
Made by concrete goods are divided into types on several characteristic indicators which the way of reinforcing (the normal and previously strained armature) and plate cross-section is among. There are monolithic and multihollow plates – in the first case the resistance of overlappings to hostile environment and the increased durability, and in the second – reduced load of framework, the increased level warm and sound insulation and also rather low cost is noted.
Plates and panels are made of previously strained reinforced concrete and used at construction of various construction objects.
It is favorable to buy reinforced concrete slabs at the moderate price in catalogs of dealers and producers – they are universal both for inhabited, and for industrial construction. Their high level is ideal for durability for areas with the increased seismic activity where the danger of building collapse is considerably increased. Most often plates and panels from reinforced concrete are applied as inserted floors, load-carrying structures of the building and basic elements at construction of heating mains. Thanks to the insulating characteristics, providing gazo-, water - and vapor permeabilities and also to the increased fire safety level, these concrete products are widely demanded in modern construction and are not going to give in.
