What is a concrete frame?
Reinforcement is one of the most sensitive implementation parts in the strengthening of concrete structures. If the principles and rules are not followed in its implementation, the tolerance of the structure in shear, tensile and compressive forces will be less than the calculated value. Concrete skeleton is a structure that is made of concrete or reinforced concrete (sand, sand, cement, steel in the form of simple or ribbed rebar). In buildings, if reinforced concrete is used in its various parts, such as columns, foundations, and king beams, that building is considered a concrete skeleton.
What is reinforced concrete?
Reinforced concrete or reinforced concrete as a basic component in the concrete skeleton, is actually concrete in which steel parts are used and is considered as an important material in the construction industry. The reason for the existence of reinforced concrete is that although concrete is resistant to pressure, it does not have good resistance to tensile forces; But steel shows resistance in both conditions of tensile and compressive forces; Therefore, by combining these two materials, we get a material that has high tensile strength and withstands compression well.
Applications of concrete skeleton
1. Use in the construction of water storage equipment such as underground tanks 2. Use in the construction of various components of workshops, factories, commercial and residential buildings (columns, roof, floor and beams) 3. Use in the construction of towers, strategic military locations, etc.
Advantages of concrete frame in buildings
1. Buildings that are built using this skeleton have much higher strength and resistance than buildings that use other materials in their structure.
2. The concrete frame shows a very high resistance to heat, and this makes the buildings in which this structure is used more resistant to fire and less damaged.
3. Because reinforced concrete is used in the structure of concrete structures, and reinforced concrete is made of sand and sand, which are common and cheap materials, so the use of this type of structures is economically cheap and cost-effective.
