How to make brick pillars

The construction of brick columns requires a clear observance of technological techniques that guarantee the strength and stability of the structure.

Varieties of brick columns

The device of brick columns depends on their purpose. When struggling supports under the bearing structures, the focus is on the proper dressing of masonry elements - this is sufficient to withstand vertical loads. To enhance the racks, the metal grid is used in several rows. The intake pillars experience lateral impacts, so they are important in the stiffness of the structure all over height, which can be achieved in three ways:

1. Installation of the reinforcement rod into the body of the pillar.
2. Masonry "Well" around concreted into the foundation of the pipe.
3. Construction of a full-fledged reinforcement frame and fill concrete solution Through the post laying.

The last option is the most reliable, but will require more time.

Necessary equipment

For the construction of brick columns you will need:

• Mason set - trowel, bucket, cord, hammer, kiyanka.
• Level, plumb, roulette and square.
• Shovel bayonge.
• Bulgarian.
• Equipment for stamping solution.

The layout of high columns will require the construction of the boards from the boards that can be useful for formwork.

Preparation of materials

When erecting brick columns, the following materials are used:

• Brick is full for the first three rows;
• Empty brick for the main masonry;
• Steel pipe for vertical reinforcement;
• Metal bars for mortgages;
• Wire for horizontal connections;
• Reinforcement for foundation;
• For the preparation of solutions - crushed stone, cement, sand.

Foundation device under poles

After determining the number of columns, the cord is stretched between the extreme dots and place the installation sites of the supports. A separate foundation is satisfied with each brickwork:

• Dispose a hole with a 40x40 cm dimensions and a depth of 100-150 mm below the level of labeling of the Earth.
• Make 100 mm thick on the bottom of the sandy pillow.
• They are knocked down and installed on the surface of the formwork from the boards.
• A steel core is placed in a hole strictly vertically and fixed by temporary backups.
• Armature frames are suitable.
• Pour the space concrete M200 (cement / sand / crushed stone - 1: 2.8: 4.8).
• The foundation should be worth 5-7 days.

If necessary, the foundation is recommended to use screw piles.

Laying brick column

Before work, pieces of rods with a cross section of 10x10 mm, used as templates for uniform laying of the solution are prepared.

Proper progress:

1. Edition "on dry" lower rows of extreme pillars, determine their real location and marker marker.
2. Stretch between the cord strides for the first row.
3. Clean the bricks, placed according to the rods and apply a cement composition with a thickness of 10 cm.
4. Stacked bricks, focusing on the same rodtokum templates.
5. Check in terms of the position of bricks, if necessary - is corrected by the image.
6. Subsequent rows are made in a similar way using the rods as limiters.
7. Filling the core solution is made on each finished row.
8. Having 3-4 rows, placed the reinforcing grid.
9. Mortgage parts are mounted in the seams without a grid.
10. As the post layer, a plumb to check vertical is used.
11. After the construction of extreme racks, the internal pillars lay a similar method.

The use of square rods in the role of limiters provides uniform and neat seam, which is formed by itself and does not require the exercise.

Properly laid brick poles are the entire service life of the material and indicate the technical literacy of the host of the house.
