Wall steel fixing
STEEL FIXING
Although on larger projects iron-workers will place the reinforcing steel, most contractors place some reinforcement. Getting it in the right place and keeping it there during concrete placement is critical to the structure's performance.
Reinforcement should be placed as shown on the placing drawings. There, the detailer will indicate the number of bars, bar lengths, bends, and positions.
STEEL TYPES
A diameter may cause problems such as lack of anchorage (a form of bond failure) or create difficulties in keeping other steel bars in the correct place.Standard bend radii (r):
- Grade 250 bars-2 X diameter ;
- Grade 460 bars-20mm 3 X diameter ;
- Grade 460 bars-over 20mm 4 X diameter
STEEL POSITIONING
After putting the semi-precast slab into position, reinforcement
fixing of the in-situ slab is commenced for the in-situ slab construction
above the precast slab.
The lintel beam and wall
reinforcement details. The lintel beam is placed above the wall
opening to provide structural rigidity.

STEEL FIXING TOOLS
Nips are a preferred tool for steelfixers for cutting wire and aids in the steelfixing of bar and mesh for concrete and construction applications.
Steel Fixing tools assist steelfixers and concreters with tying, twisting and cutting of tie wire to bar and mesh in concreting applications.
Topuzi Steel Fixers for reinforcing has a full range of construction and complementary accessories available.
