With all the modern variety of building materials, concrete firmly holds the leadership in the construction market. This fact is explained by the reliability of the material and the durability of the constructed building. Buildings based on ready-made blocks deserve special attention. During construction, both new and used reinforced concrete slabs can be used.

Types and application

It is a ready-to-use, factory-made panel. There are several main types, which are presented in the table and distributed according to appearance and by purpose:

Important! In many cases, the price of purchase, delivery and installation of finished slabs is lower than the cost of a monolithic floor.

Building a house

First of all, it should be said that concrete is a rather dense and heavy material. Therefore, the question of how much a reinforced concrete slab weighs is more than relevant. Let's give a specific example, taking for consideration a block with dimensions of 2 * 3 * 0.2 (meters). Such a block, depending on the presence of reinforcement in it, will weigh from 2 to 3 tons.

Advantages

The use of ready-made blocks in the construction of buildings has a number of advantages over other types of construction:

• Building construction speed... Thanks to the use of ready-made structures, construction is reduced to the implementation of a set standard actions, which are set by the instruction, and the house can be built in six months.

• Since the production process is carried out in the factory, it is not influenced external factors, and the risk of defects in production is minimized.
• Finished slabs are brought to the construction site as soon as the object is ready... This allows you not to accumulate building material on the construction site.

• The finished panels themselves are large objects, so it is quite easy to control them.
• Dimensions (edit) reinforced concrete slabs allow erecting not only standard structures, but also producing small prefabricated blocks, which helps to bring non-standard architectural solutions to life.
• The use of ready-made blocks allows the installation of window and door frames standard sizes ... This is important, since, for example, in brick houses, the size of door and window openings always varies, and this is inconvenient.

Important! The walls of buildings constructed from prefabricated blocks are smooth and therefore do not require filler. Accordingly, you can immediately start painting the walls. This work can be done even with your own hands.

• If during production the GOST for reinforced concrete slabs was observed, then such structures are durable... Since they are combined in the block, this allows the structure to resist not only compressive loads, but also tensile loads.
• This building material is chemically neutral, that is, the release of harmful substances into the environment is excluded. The fire resistance of the material should be noted, which increases the fire safety of the entire structure.

Minuses

But in addition to the pros, the buildings assembled from ready-made blocks also have disadvantages that are worth mentioning:

• Very high coefficient of thermal conductivity of a reinforced concrete slab. Depending on the density, this indicator varies from 1.28 to 1.51. With an increase in the density of the material, this indicator grows.

Such structures practically cannot retain heat. Thermal insulation properties can be improved by using hollow core slabs. The air contained in the voids helps to minimize the thermal conductivity of the reinforced concrete slab as much as possible.

• Sound insulation in such houses also leaves much to be desired. Concrete conducts sound waves very well. The solution, as in the previous paragraph, can be the use of hollow blocks.

They have a greater soundproofing effect than others. This is due to the fact that the density of this type of reinforced concrete slab is noticeably lower.

• Design features suggest the presence of interpanel and inter-tile seams. These seams should be sealed with the greatest possible care. If this is not done, then cold and dampness penetrates into the room, which leads to the formation and growth of mold on the walls.
• The mass of a reinforced concrete slab is quite large, which complicates the manipulations carried out with it a little.

Important! Despite all these disadvantages, ready-made slabs are an excellent building solution when reliability and construction time are important.

Output

It is not necessary to build a house from hollow reinforced concrete or other slabs. the best way however, such a possibility in construction is not excluded. As a rule, this type is used building material more for multi-storey construction.

In low-rise construction, concrete slabs are used not so much for the construction of residential buildings as for garages or basements. How to find the right application for this material will be shown in the video in this article, which will be an excellent recommendation on many issues.

For the construction of individual houses, the INPANS company uses the technology of multi-storey housing construction, adapted and improved, taking into account the specifics of low-rise buildings.

On the prepared foundation (monolithic reinforced concrete slab), panels manufactured at the plant are mounted. As a rule, the panels have a height and length of one floor, and modern production allows the production of panels up to 4 meters high and up to 12 meters long. Thus, for the construction two-storey house 9x9 meters, 8 external panels and 2 internal ones are enough.

External walls from INPANS Company are energy-saving three-layer reinforced concrete panels, consisting of three layers:

1. Internal bearing layer - reinforced concrete 12 cm thick.

2. Middle layer - insulation 20 cm thick.

3. Outer protective layer - reinforced concrete 7 cm thick.

The total thickness of the outer wall is 39 cm.

With this design, the walls of the house retain heat very well. Heat transfer resistance of walls = 5.81 (m².

Such a coefficient is comparable, for example, with a wall made of D400 aerated concrete with a thickness of 375 mm, insulated with extruded polystyrene foam with a thickness of 100 mm and plastered on both sides. However, in comparison with aerated concrete wall, a three-layer reinforced concrete panel has much higher strength characteristics.

The panels are manufactured according to pre-made drawings in optimal factory conditions, where the production process of the panels and the quality of the materials used are strictly controlled. For the manufacture of panels, simple, reliable and environmentally friendly materials are used - concrete grade B25, steel reinforcement and insulation (rigid mineral wool or extruded polystyrene foam). Before shipment from the factory, each panel undergoes additional control, as a result of which a quality certificate is issued.

The process of manufacturing and installation of three-layer reinforced concrete panels among themselves is based on the technology of the Finnish company "Peikko", which provides for the monolithing of the joints of the bearing layer of panels and floor slabs into a rigid unit, in addition, the edges of the panels at their joints are made in the form of a "step", which allows exclude the formation of cold bridges at the joints.

Delivery of panels from the factory is carried out by panel trucks and, immediately upon arrival at the site, the panels are mounted by a truck crane on the prepared foundation. House installation takes no more than 2 weeks.

On the first day, the walls of the first floor and the ceiling are mounted, temporary supports are installed. On the second day, the joints of the panels and the overlap are monolithic into a rigid assembly. A week later, the walls of the second floor and the ceiling are mounted in the same way.

The roof of the house can be pitched or flat. You choose the type of roof, and the specialists of INPANS Company will design the roof taking into account the snow and wind load.

The walls of your house have the exact geometrical dimensions of the perimeter, window and door openings. The house does not shrink, therefore, immediately after installation, you can proceed with the finishing.

The facade of your house does not need additional protection or plastering, and for aesthetic purposes it can be simply painted or covered with any of the materials on the market.

The inner surface of the wall is already ready for wallpapering, tiling, painting or any other finish of your choice.

We will build you a reliable stone energy efficient house for centuries!

Short construction period - only 2.5-3.5 months!

Despite the emergence of modern high-tech building materials, housing construction from reinforced concrete slabs continues to be the most common building option. Prefabricated reinforced concrete houses are being erected in a very short time, allowing you to quickly put into operation both individual housing and high-rise buildings, shops, and other infrastructure facilities.

DIY house made of reinforced concrete slabs

All building structures are manufactured under production conditions, which excludes the influence of atmospheric influences and the human factor, as is the case when erecting monolithic concrete or brick buildings.

Construction work does not stop in winter, again in comparison with monolithic and brick construction. Regular prefab house made of reinforced concrete slabs can be built in less than six months. The structures are brought to the construction site ready-made as they are being installed. Since the structures are large enough, it is easier to control them. In addition, it is not required to concentrate all the building material at the construction site at once, which facilitates access and reduces subsequent costs for landscaping.

Modern methods of production of reinforced concrete slabs allow, along with large standard panels, to produce small elements of prefabricated reinforced concrete, which makes it possible to build houses with original architectural solutions. At the same time, the retained dimensions of reinforced concrete elements allow the installation of window and door blocks of standard sizes. That, for example, is very difficult for brick buildings, in which the sizes of window and doorways... Construction of concrete slabs allows you to do without frames and make the walls smooth. They can be used for painting works and without a continuous filler finish.

Buildings of this type have a long service life, are very reliable and safe. At the same time, the material is fireproof and fireproof. By themselves, reinforced concrete slabs are very resistant to loads, including dynamic ones. Successful combination prestressed reinforcement and concrete allows protecting the structure from both tensile and compressive forces.
Reinforced concrete is a chemically inert material that excludes the occurrence of any chemical reactions that can disrupt the operational characteristics of the structure.

One of the main disadvantages is the insufficient sound insulation of the premises, due to the good transmission of sound waves by concrete, which provokes the appearance of an echo.
always has interpanel or inter-tile joints, for which a particularly careful sealing is required. If even a small gap is left, moisture can penetrate the room, which leads to dampness of the walls and the possible appearance of mold. The joints between the slabs are cold bridges, and in addition, they further reduce the sound insulation of the premises.

Since reinforced concrete does not accumulate heat enough, reinforced concrete wall structures easily freeze through in severe frosts and heat up in the sun on hot days.
The above disadvantages can be largely compensated for by using lightweight reinforced concrete slabs with a large number of internal voids. The use of plates of this type in low-rise construction is especially justified. The air spaces contained in the voids damp sound waves, increasing the sound insulation properties of the slabs, as well as increasing their thermal insulation qualities. However, it should be borne in mind that lightweight hollow slabs impose restrictions on the laying of new engineering communications: the chasing has to be carried out with great care, since there are already many voids in the ceilings.
The disadvantages of the technology of building a house from reinforced concrete slabs include the complexity of controlling the wear of each individual building element.

Today, residents of large cities are increasingly moving to cottage settlements, where they can take a break from the daily hustle and bustle and noise. Many people choose houses made of reinforced concrete panels. And this is not surprising: the construction of reinforced concrete cottages allows you to get an object within a short period of time, and not to drag out the work for many months and even years.

Reinforced concrete cottage - a reliable house in a short time

Individual precast concrete buildings have long been a model of ergonomic construction, allowing you to reduce operating costs with a high level of comfort and safety.

Reinforced concrete panel cottages are also renowned for their strength and durability. If you believe the well-known saying “my home is my fortress”, then a cottage made of reinforced concrete fully corresponds to it. Such a building will reliably protect the owner from negative influences. the environment: cold, fire, strong gusts of wind and heavy rains. Due to the high rigidity of the frame, it does not deform and retains its attractive appearance.

That is why reinforced concrete houses are deservedly popular all over the world. According to the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB), in 2014, precast cottage construction in the United States accounted for almost 29% of all single-family detached homes. Simply put, one in three new cottages in the US today is made of concrete.

The advantages of such buildings are obvious - faster installation compared to houses made of foam and aerated concrete, the absence of "wet" works inherent in monolithic construction. The cottage made of reinforced concrete panels has high insulating and structural characteristics. This technology allows you to embody any architectural ideas: from the estate, the so-called "noble", style to modern.

At the same time, many may not realize that this or that house is made of reinforced concrete, since the walls are often hidden under the classic facade made of plaster, brick or siding panels. However, you should not be surprised at the stories of your friends about an amazing cottage that "grew" on a nearby plot in just a week. This means that someone has already decided to make their dream come true!
