Reinforced Concrete Beams
Discover the importance of Reinforced Ground Beams (RGBs) in ensuring structural integrity for new buildings. These versatile components, also known as ring beams, provide essential support and stability in various construction projects across the UK. Explore the benefits of RGBs, including their adaptability to challenging ground conditions, efficient installation process on uneven terrains, and minimal disruption to ongoing works. Learn how RGBs stand out against traditional strip footings and why they are favored by structural engineers for reliable construction practices.
The Advantages of Reinforced Ground Beams in Construction
In the construction industry, reinforced ground beams (RGBs), often referred to as ring beams or ground beams, play a crucial role in ensuring the structural integrity of new buildings.
These components serve as essential connections to the piles, providing stability and support in various construction projects across the United Kingdom.
Benefits of Using RGBs
Reinforced ground beams are favored by structural engineers due to their versatility and reliability, especially when compared to traditional strip footings.
One notable benefit of RGBs is their ability to accommodate a wide range of superstructure designs, making them adaptable to different shapes and sizes. This flexibility is particularly beneficial in challenging ground conditions, such as those affected by clay heave or other ground movements.
Efficient Installation Process
Another advantage of using reinforced ground beams is their installation efficiency, particularly on uneven or sloping ground levels. Unlike reinforced concrete rafts, RGBs do not require extensive site preparation, which can save time and reduce costs.
Moreover, during installation, adjustments can be made to ensure RGBs do not interfere with live underground services, allowing for minimal disruption to ongoing construction work.
For extensions to properties already built on foundation systems of piles and ground beams, new foundations can be seamlessly linked to existing setups, ensuring structural integrity and long-lasting durability.
