Design features of low-rise buildings walls erected from permanent formwork ComBlock units

Abstract

The study focuses on the design of load-bearing monolithic concrete and reinforced concrete walls of low-rise buildings erected from permanent formwork ComBlock units for construction, in areas without episodic influences and analysis of their work. While developing the recommendations the main attention was paid to working out design solutions of load-bearing monolithic walls with minimal reinforcement consumption. The guidelines contain general provisions for the design and calculation of load-bearing vertical elements of a house; numerous studies of the stress-strain state of monolithic vertical load-bearing elements of low-rise buildings with different structural schemes.

Evaluation of the New Constructive-Technological Solution of the Fence Structure in the Non-Removable Formwork

“…Economic affordability is the ability to freely choose and buy housing that is affordable and inexpensive to operate; the ability to renew, characterized by flexible planning solutions that allow for economically rational reconstruction and modernization, due to which the service life of the house is significantly extended; compliance with market requirements by satisfying people's needs, taking into account changes in demographic conditions and purchasing habits of the population [3]. Especially in low-rise construction, non-removable formwork is used for enclosing structures [4][5][6][7][8][9][10].…”

“…Research materials and methodology. Modern structural and technological solutions of enclosing structures in fixed formwork [4][5][6][7][8][9][10] and the developed solution [11] are presented in the form of a classification (Fig. 1).…”

“…Based on the analysis of information sources [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10] and calculations of heat transfer resistance [12,13], the thickness of enclosing structures, cost estimates of the cost of 1m 2 of erecting enclosing structures, a comparison table of structural and technological solutions according to the selected criteria was compiled. Quantitative evaluations of the criteria are given from real-time measuring devices into a single point scale.…”
