Timbering – set of the elements intended for giving of the necessary form to the monolithic reinforced or concrete structures built on building sites. The type of timbering is chosen depending on the concreted constructions and designs, their sizes, technology of works, climate.
The idea "concrete vestments in certain form" originates deep into of centuries – at the time of construction of the Egyptian pyramids.
Timbering pluses
Form construction since Egypt has qualitatively exchanged. It has reduced construction terms. There was earlier disposable system of timbering which forever remained in body of the building under construction. The modern monolithic framework structure is reused.
Pluses of folding timbering: 1. fast construction of the building; 2. the increased durability and absence on walls of the building of cracks at shrinkage; 3. cheapening of structure of the building; 4. wide choice of options of plannings.
Classification of timbering
The timbering is the monolithic system intended for improvement and simplification of work on construction of buildings, tunnels, roads. The timbering is subdivided on: 1. wall for the surfaces located vertically; 2. wall for the surfaces located horizontally; 3. for construction of the rounded-off and round designs; 4. wall creeping (sliding); 5. universal timbering (folding and adjustable). The design of universal timbering consists of folding boards. Often producers develop it for application of system to the maximum so that there was opportunity to use it and at construction of walls, and at construction of ceiling. Among modular timberings boards which height about 3 thousand mm are considered as the most running element of timbering. This type of vertical timbering is most of all demanded as high ceilings have again become fashionable.
Seasonal dynamics
In construction there is seasonality stereotype. There is opinion that the maximum activity in construction coincides with the beginning of spring and proceeds until the end of fall. Experts claim that this opinion will change soon. Thanks to modern shuttering systems, construction back perhaps all the year round. And as, the most part of construction companies applies timbering, it is possible to make the assumption that will be longer built on this technology in the short term.
How to choose timbering?
Criteria which need to be considered when choosing timbering of any given manufacturing company: Price/quality. It is necessary to choose monolithic framework structure, considering the price and the offered quality. Wearability. When choosing timbering the main indicator is the number of fillings of solution: basic boards are enough for 100-1000 fillings. Universality. The shuttering system has to be such that with its help it was possible to do walls, ceilings and arches.
