Which is better, brick concrete or light steel? Let's do a comparison together! -wellcamp light steel villa manufacturers

In recent years, many villages have built villas with different styles. As a popular foreign building, light steel structure villas have spread to many countries and are recognized by many people, but many people also want to know, which is the comparison between light steel structure and reinforced concrete. OK, let's take a look today. 01 Plasticity Reinforced concrete freshly mixed concrete has very good plasticity, and can be made into structural features or components of various shapes and sizes according to the required design scheme. Due to the flexibility of the steel frame structure, light steel structure villas can also build complex, diverse and beautiful houses according to the design plan. It should be noted that due to its light weight, the light steel structure can only build low-rise villas, more than three or four floors. If you want to build high-rise buildings, heavy steel can be used. The reinforced concrete brick-concrete structure can be built up to seven floors. This judgment: regardless of the upper and lower 02 earthquake-resistant reinforced concrete, the key to the seismic grade ability of reinforced concrete lies in the seismic grade ability of structural characteristic components. Different seismic grades can be selected flexibly according to the structure type, building height and fortification intensity. Therefore, when building a house, it is possible to put forward the requirements for the seismic grade design plan to the contractor. Generally, two or three-story rural self-built houses have an anti-seismic grade of 6~8 degrees according to the different requirements of the region, and all reinforced concrete can meet the needs. . Light steel structure Light steel structure villa house, the raw materials are derived from the characteristic raw materials of cold-formed steel structure, the roof truss structure is built according to the stability of the triangle, and the light steel structure is sealed with gypsum board or other structural characteristic plates, metal material properties Its essential shear wall structure determines the natural seismic performance index of the light steel structure system. The building structure is relatively firm and can withstand earthquakes of magnitude 10.“anti-vibration bed”. Because Japan is a country with frequent earthquake disasters, large and small earthquake disasters that have no sense of earthquake in the entire Japanese region can be achieved more than 10,000 times a year, so low-rise light steel structure villas are like this in Japan. gave birth. This judgment: light steel structure wins 03 sound insulation and thermal insulation reinforced concrete The thermal insulation performance of reinforced concrete is unquestionable. It can be used for external wall insulation or internal wall insulation. Corresponding insulation measures can be flexibly adopted according to local conditions. Among them, in the vast majority of areas in our country, it is proposed to adopt the method of external wall insulation. The sound insulation effect, we use data information to explain: the sound insulation of the cast-in-place solid reinforced concrete wall with a thickness of 200mm and the sound insulation of the 240mm clay brick wall is below 45dB, which is just suitable for sleep. The light steel structure light steel structure wall adopts an effective energy-saving standard system, which has a breathing function and can adjust the dry humidity of the indoor air; the roof has a ventilation function, which can form a flowing air space above the house to ensure the ventilation and heat dissipation requirements inside the roof. The selected heat-insulating and heat-preserving raw materials take glass fiber cotton as the core, which has good heat-insulating and heat-preserving effect. It is mainly used for the thermal insulation board of the outer wall, which can reasonably and effectively avoid the damage of the wall.“cold bridge”This phenomenon has achieved a better thermal insulation effect, and it is not a problem to be warm in winter and cool in summer. The thermal resistance of R15 insulation cotton with a thickness of about 100mm can be equivalent to a brick wall with a thickness of 1m. The thermal resistance value of a 200mm thick composite wall can reach 3.2m2K/W, which is 11 times that of a brick wall of equal thickness. This judgment: the light steel structure wins, so it goes without saying that the light steel structure is prosperous in my country. However, in the future, it will be more inclined to the direction of green development, so the two will be continuously improved to improve the living experience of residents. Friends who want to build houses can learn more about them according to their own needs.
