Reinforcement is required for any construction. The most popular are two sizes - reinforcement 12 mm and 14 mm. Due to minor differences, they have similar properties, but differ in application.
Rebar Properties
Both rebar sizes have almost the same characteristics. The rod is produced by hot-rolled method. Production and properties are strictly regulated by GOST.
In appearance, two types of twigs are distinguished:
- Smooth type. Has a completely smooth surface. Used in cases where there is no need for bonding with concrete.
- Corrugated type. It has a ribbed surface, which provides a good bond with concrete. It is used more often for this reason.
Thus, smooth fittings can be purchased for exterior decoration or various prefabricated designs. If a construction is planned and it is necessary to couple the rod with concrete, you should pay attention to the corrugated type. It is indispensable for pouring foundations, strengthening structures, building roads.
Applying a rod
A rod with a diameter of 12 mm is used when building a low-rise building, strengthening the bottom or walls of a pool, collecting various structures. Repair, decoration, construction work requires such fittings.
Armature with a diameter of 14 mm is more durable, it is used in the construction of critical facilities. These can be:
- Multi-storey buildings;
- Bridges;
- Supports of various nature;
- Sports grounds;
- Runways;
- Specialized road sections.
In addition, the 14 mm smooth rod can be used for strengthening structures, in frames and even in the petrochemical industry.
Thus, the use of reinforcement is limited only by the owner's imagination. When purchasing this product, it is important to remember two rules:
- If reinforcement is used in conjunction with concrete, the corrugated type must be selected. The smooth type can be used in all other cases.
- Armature 14 mm is used, when it is necessary to strengthen or achieve special strength. In other situations, you can use a 12 mm rod.
