Construction of houses provides for the construction of the foundation of the building, so different designs of the foundations are erected. Depending on the material from which the house is built, one or another type of foundation is suitable. One of the main elements of the base is the strapping from the reinforcement, which gives strength, the flexibility of the concrete structure. The most common of metal rods for the foundation is 12 mm reinforcement. It is impossible to underestimate the dimensions, because this indicator is already minimal. Before dealing with the formwork and fill the foundation, it is necessary to calculate the number of metal products that need to be delivered to the object. In this regard, the question arises: how much is the meter of reinforcement of a 12 mm section?
Types of metal rods for foundation
The reinforcement metal is manufactured in accordance with GOST, which is a regulatory act of the Russian Federation and obliges manufacturers and developers to adhere to the required parameters specified in the document. To determine how much the meter of reinforcement-12 is weighted, you need to know which types of products are available. There is steel hot-rolled with 6 strength classes, steel thermomechanical strengthened, steel welded and composite polymer reinforcement. The latter is the easiest of weight from all others, if you take the same diameter for comparison, because it is manufactured from a special lightweight material.
How to calculate weight
To determine how many in the ton of reinforcement-12, three methods are used. First, you can weigh one or more rods of one diameter and a certain length. After that, the ton is divided into weight and calculate the amount. The second option is designed to use the product in the calculations of the nominal diameter, which is equal to the size of the cross section of a smooth rod. The third way to solve an easy task on how much the meter of reinforcement-12 is weighted in the use of tables with regulatory technical indicators to determine the weight according to the diameter of the metal wear. Such data are defined by GOST, due to which you can quickly find out the amount per ton, based on the type, type of product, as well as taking into account the material used for the manufacture.
Using a GOST in calculations
Metal rods can be smooth or corrugated. With the first it is easier, because the diameter is single throughout the entire length of the product. Corrugated, unlike them, have an inhomogeneous surface, which makes it difficult to calculate their weight. The regulatory document contains different tables with the determination of the diameter of the rod, its weight, depending on the class of strength, the metal used, the process of hardening, rolled, etc. As a result, to find out how much the meter of the reinforcement-12, it is necessary, in addition to diameter, take into account Some indicators. GOST indicates that the product with a diameter of 12 mm has a minimum diameter between the edges of 11 mm, and the maximum diameter on the edge is 13.5 mm. Based on these indicators, the calculated area of \u200b\u200bthis product has already been developed, which is 1.13 cm. Next, it is summarized and it turns out that the trafficphone meter of 12 reinforcement has a weight of 0.89 kg. It turns out that in 1 ton of the metal to create a durable, reliable foundation, 1123.60 pieces of meter long rods are fitted. If mm is not used, and the diameter is taken more, the number of rods, respectively, becomes less.
Why do such calculations need
Design, construction are serious stages to create a safe house and living there. Calculations become necessary that each step at the construction site is accurate correct. The number of reinforcement needs is necessary to calculate the strength of the foundation and will allow delivery to the construction site with specialized transport in the required quantity. And this is at least a minimum will reduce the cost of transportation, loading, reduce labor costs. Therefore, any, even a small construction should assume the advance design and calculation of the required material. We are not only about the reinforcement, this rule concerns any of the types of building materials, whether brick, block, forest or even linoleum, laminate, wallpaper. Everything has an account, since for each centimeter, a kilogram today has to pay.
