Steel SpecificationSteel is sold as light, medium, full or industrial (?¹‚?¸£?¸§?¹??¸«?¸??¹?) which is a confusing system. The actual specification which refers to the strength required to deform 1 mm strand is printed on the side of the rebar, in this case SD30, on this 12 mm rebar. Only the full grade was used on all 6, 9 and 12mm throughout the project.dozer00000

Red Brick SpacersRed brick can also be used as spacers (alternatively from the concrete spacers with wire ties) as needed. These are used to center the ground beam framework equidistant within the cinder block form work. dozer00000

CompactorThe ground within the ground beam is new dirt which has been brought in, due to the fact that the floor level of the house will be higher than the original ground level. It is first watered and allowed to settle naturally. Then a compactor is used for further compression prior to the pouring of the floor.dozer00000
