Many during the construction of pools choose concrete bowls, as they are the most durable and practical. How such designs are made? What are the requirements for the materials for them are presented? During the construction of pools, you can use many different technologies. So, for example, some prefer to build thorough reinforced concrete pools. They are considered the most durable and reliable. However, it is impossible to say about the simplicity of their construction, since experts have to take into account a lot of external factors that are one way or another affected by the process of manufacturing the bowl.
Requirements for the components
So, if you decide to concrete a bowl, then, first of all, you need to find the right concrete composition. Brand of concrete must be not lower than m350. Moreover, it is important what fillers, additional components will be inside. For example, most often, they prefer to use artificial plasticizers from German brands.
Since the product will be reinforced concrete, such a solution needs a thorough reinforcing cage. Choose reinforcement from trusted suppliers created from strong, well -processed rods. It should be connected by two layers, moreover, the mating step is standardly at least 200 mm. It is worth noting that when the construction of pools is carried out, the dimensions of the reinforcement, its exact form and diameter must be calculated individually. When calculating them, the designer is obliged to take into account the conditions of operation of the structure, the maximum volume of the bowl, the location and many other factors that are not always available for the logic of non -professionals.
A special formwork is used for filling. It is most relevant to use plywood products. Polished plywood, which has a thickness of at least 20 mm, is perfect for your future pool. However, there are few panels alone. They must be accompanied by supporting components. The natural wooden beam often acts as them. Its formats are different. Two standard options: 150×150 and 200×150.
A few recommendations …
Do not tie the bowl to the supporting structures – the load on the foundation may change, which will lead to its destruction.
Try to pour the entire bowl at a time. But if the construction of the pool is complex, then the cold seams formed between the two components flooded at different periods of time should be equipped with self -expanding absorbing cords.
Take your time with the dismantling of the formwork. A good bowl needs the so -called technological break. Its duration is from 10 to 20 days. Sometimes the deadlines reach 3-4 weeks.
