Concrete braces and beams

Mineral pumice is used in the production of concrete braces and beams. By adding mineral pumice to concrete, the strength and strength of concrete increases and the structures are able to withstand more loads. Concrete has a very high resistance to tensile forces, but when pressure is applied from different parts, it cracks easily, that's why pumice is added to it to solve this problem. Light concrete Perhaps it can be said that one of the most important applications of mineral pumice in construction is the construction of lightweight concrete. To do this, just add some of the said material to the concrete mixture. In fact, by adding pumice stones, engineers significantly reduce the weight of the structure and increase its resistance to increase the safety factor of the building. Roof coverings Roof coverings are made of mineral pumice stone. Due to their lightness and high corrosion resistance, these coatings are considered the best option for building roofs. Our country is considered one of the earthquake-prone areas in the world, that's why many Iranian builders and engineers use this material in their projects. Use in the subway tunnel Insulation of tunnels against sound and moisture is very important, that's why these materials are used in the walls. In addition, the use of pumice in the construction of subway structures increases their strength significantly.
