Walls
In this section, articles on walls are selected: from what materials to build walls, how to build frame walls, how to insulate walls and what modern and time-tested construction technologies are currently used. Modern walls are no longer just a barrier from enemies and cold, built from "cubes" of different natural origin. The modern wall is a multi-layer structure that protects the house from cold and heat, from rain and humidity, hiding pipes and wires, as well as changing the appearance of the house, both outside and inside. Here you will find recommendations for the construction of wooden, brick and concrete walls. Research in the field of construction, building rules and much more.
There is a clear rule: when pinched, the upper rebar should fill 1/4 of the span, and when hinged, 1/10. This is explained by the fact that when pinched, the upper reinforcement is stretched (this is how the bending moment works) and the stretched area must be reinforced. And with a hinge bearing the moment is equal to zero, no stretching, but the constructive rule comes into force, and we still reinforce a small area at the support.
Modern recessed fireplaces combined with a warm frame house or SIP house can effectively heat a home—instructions for building a frame for a zero clearance fireplace.
Step-by-step instructions and other important additional information to familiarize the builders of insulated concrete form (ICF) house with the specifics of concrete placement.
How much money will you lose on heating if you build a cold house? And how much area will you lose if you make too thick walls? Let's compare different structures and building materials.
