Composite fittings - reviews

In the construction market, new materials differ from all known ones are constantly appearing. More progressive manufacturing technologies are applied, and the emphasis is placed on facilitating work related to these materials. An important factor is to bring their characteristics to international standards in terms of environmental friendliness. A typical example of such a building material serves composite reinforcement, which came out on Russian construction sites only a few years ago.

• the armature is completely not subject to corrosion, which increases the service life of concrete structures that it is reinforced;
• the coefficient of expansion of the reinforcement is close to the coefficient of concrete expansion, which does not allow the latter to crack with sharp drops of temperatures;
• low thermal conductivity of composite reinforcement contributes to the fact that the "cold bridges" (at very low ambient temperatures) are not formed in concrete.

The advantages of using this reinforcement and in the fact that it can be very easy to cut into pieces of the desired length - it is often produced in the form of bays or babin.

• with very strong heating, up to 600 degrees, it loses its plasticity - this can lead to climbing concrete (for example, during a fire);
• increased flexibility does not allow to use it with a device for large monolithic structures that do not have additional supports (for example, overlap plates);
• the rods of the reinforcement cannot be connected by welding with each other (this may be required when the device of multi-level concrete structures).

The use of composite reinforcement requires a very competent calculation so that the object under construction turns out reliable and durable. We invite you to watch a video, where the expert on the armature will tell about what to pay attention to using this building material.
