Traditional reinforced concrete house and light steel house, which one is stronger?

Many rural villas have been built in various styles, light steel structure villa as a popular foreign building to our country, is recognized by many people, but many people also want to know, light steel structure and reinforced concrete which is better, today we look at it together.

01

Plasticity

Reinforced concrete

Freshly mixed concrete plasticity is excellent, can be designed according to the need to make a variety of shapes and sizes of structures or components.

Light Steel Structure

Because of the flexibility of the steel structure, the light steel villa can also be built according to the design of the complex, diverse and beautiful houses.

What needs to be noted is that: light steel structure due to light weight, so can only build low-rise villas, up to three or four floors, if you want to build a high-rise can be combined with heavy steel. And reinforced concrete brick structure can be built up to seven floors.

This judgment: no distinction between up and down

02

Seismic

Reinforced concrete

The seismic capacity of reinforced concrete depends on the seismic capacity of the structural elements. It is flexible to adopt different seismic ratings depending on the type of structure, height of the house, and intensity of defense. So when you build a house, you can ask the contractor to put forward the requirements of seismic design, generally two or three-story rural self-built houses according to different requirements of the region seismic intensity of 6 to 8 degrees, reinforced concrete can meet the needs of the demand.

Light steel structure

Light steel structure of the villa, the material originates from cold-formed steel structural materials, through the stability of the triangle built into the roof structure, and light steel structure with gypsum board or other structural panels for sealing, the metal material properties as well as must be the form of the shear wall structure determines the innate anti-seismic performance of the light steel structural system, built into the structure of the house is very strong, can withstand the 10th grade The structure of the completed house is very strong and can withstand an earthquake of magnitude 10, which can be called the "quake-proof bed" in the house.

Remarks: Because Japan is an earthquake-prone country, the whole of Japan's annual tremor of the tremor of the tremor of the large and small earthquakes can reach more than 10,000 times, so the low-rise lightweight steel villa was so in Japan came into being.

This judgment: light steel structure wins

03

Sound insulation and thermal insulation

Steel reinforced concrete

The thermal insulation of steel reinforced concrete is indisputable. It can be used for exterior wall insulation or interior wall insulation. Corresponding thermal insulation measures can be taken flexibly according to local conditions. Which most of our country is more recommended to take the way of external wall insulation. Sound insulation, we use data to illustrate: more than 200mm thickness of cast-in-place solid reinforced concrete wall sound insulation and 240mm clay brick wall sound insulation are below 45dB, just suitable for sleeping.

Which is better, light steel or reinforced concrete? Comparison of a shock

Light steel structure

Light steel wall adopts high-efficiency energy-saving system, with breathing function, can adjust the dryness and humidity of the indoor air; the roof has a ventilation function, which can make the house inside the air over the formation of flowing air between, to ensure that the roof of the interior of the ventilation and heat dissipation needs.

The thermal insulation materials used are mainly fiberglass wool, which has a good thermal insulation effect. Used in the external wall of the thermal insulation board, effectively avoiding the wall of the "cold bridge" phenomenon, to achieve a better thermal insulation effect, warm in winter and cool in summer is not a problem. 100mm thick R15 thermal insulation cotton thermal resistance can be equivalent to a 1m thick brick wall. 200mm thick composite wall thermal resistance value up to 3.2m2K/W, is 11 times that of the thickness of the brick wall

The thermal insulation material is mainly glass fiber wool, which has good thermal insulation effect.

This decision: light steel structure wins

04

Environmental

Steel reinforced concrete

Steel reinforced concrete can not be recycled. And when building, it needs to use a lot of sand and stone as well as burning bricks with soil, which will bring a great waste of resources. The construction waste that will be dismantled in the future will also cause environmental pressure.

Lightweight steel structure

Lightweight steel residential steel building is an environmentally friendly sustainable product, steel can be recycled; and belongs to the wet and dry working method, will not cause the waste of water information; this is also Australia, the United States and other European and American countries popular reasons.
