Humanity from its very first stage of its formation began to build homes and other objects. Technology and construction methods have improved over time, and now, we see the results. Nowadays, using the right technology, you can build anything, from 100 storey skyscrapers, to underground 100 meter bunkers, or hydroelectric power plants. Now we will analyze the most effective and used technologies that are used in construction in our highly technological age.
Traditional construction consists of three main types:
• monolithic construction (the newest, but very quickly gaining momentum of construction)
• frame (frameless) construction
• Elections of wooden buildings and structures
Monolithic construction is a technology for the construction of buildings, or structures, using reinforced concrete and formwork, this can significantly reduce construction time, labor costs, this method is also easier to use for multi -storey buildings. This method is based on the fact that reinforcement is laid in the formwork and the concrete is filled. This type of construction has many advantages, for example, such as: this type of construction can be used almost everywhere, since with a monolithic construction of the building the smallest area of development is necessary, because we do not need to store any supporting elements; Also, the pluses include the fact that the walls in such buildings and structures have no seams, which means that there are no problems with sealing and sealing joints; in monolithic housing construction, walls and overlapping of lower thickness, which means that the load on the foundation is much less, respectively, and the costs of the construction of the building are reduced; Also, using this method, the most complex architectural grace can be performed. This technology for the construction of buildings allows you to make the most different number of storeys, since the monolithic frame is able to withstand even the largest loads. But with all the positive qualities, monolithic construction has its drawbacks, for example, such as: bad weather (wind, snow, rain) will create certain difficulties in construction, as well as the use of special methods in the winter, to harden concrete at negative temperatures.
The second type of construction — frame construction — the construction of the main load -bearing elements of the frame. The frame is considered to be the skeleton of the building, which perceives and transfers the load to the foundation. The frame consists of separate supporting elements that I form a supporting skeleton. The advantages of frame houses include: frame houses do not shrink; Any type of finish is suitable for a frame house; frame houses are durable; frame houses have a relatively low construction cost. The disadvantages include the fact that the frame houses have a long time for construction, compared with monolithic construction, also the frame construction occupies a large area of development.
The last, third type of construction is used most in rural areas where you need to quickly, cheaply and beautifully build a house. Wooden construction is used for low-storey buildings (one or two floors). The tree, like building material, is inferior, the same concrete in strength and durability, but, but it has its advantages, for example, such as it is easy to process, it has a small mass, which reduces the load on the foundation. The advantages of such construction are: speed of construction, convenience of finishing. The disadvantages can be attributed that wooden houses are not as durable as concrete or brick; Also, wooden houses must be treated with special mixtures from various insects, such houses should be protected from rotting, which in turn complicates their device.
Thus, we will summarize, if you need to build a building as quickly as possible, it is best to use monolithic construction, if you are interested in saving, you should choose a frame building, and if you need a convenient house for a summer residence, you can stop at the third, wooden construction method.
