That is going to be a big pour.

What do people use to restrain the rsj's like the horizontal bars in this pic? We're going to be doing some shuttering soon and need something to stop them splaying. Any ideas?

Cheers Tom, so that's £50 a square meter, I had a feeling their price might be something like that, making some shutters is an option just tight for time, as usual!

You will buy concrete panels for less than 50 per m2

How are walls fixed to floor ?

 

[AndrewG]

There is mesh and 20mm rebar set in the floor

I just use 16 mm (or whatever it is) re-bar with a bit of studding welded to each end and bolted through the center section of the girder, plate washers (10 mm thick and 150mm square) on the outside (end) ones.

I use re-bar,cut a hole in the girder thread it through,hook it up to the digger or loader to tension it then weld it.

I used some massive stuff last time 35mm or there abouts.

You can bend even quite big girders with too much strain - got the tee shirt, I put the steels in and tension them when the shutters are bolted up tight.

Why have you paneled the sides but are shuttering the end of the shed?

no time realy, and i needed the shed finished

Yes you do need foundations and when you are laying them make a very short wall about 50mm high on top with more concrete before the footing goes off, you can jam a few re-bars in verticallyView attachment 463234 at this stage too if you like. No bars in this wall, can't find one easily but you can just see the stub wall made by laying two bits of 4 x 2 on top of the nearly dry footing.

the bars you can see in the bay that isn't cast yet, are they the reinforcing bars for strength?

Yes they are, 16mm (or similar) re-bar with a bit of M16 studding welded on each end to bolt through the uprights.

thanks, is 3 bars enough for retaining corn do you think?

 

[pellow]

I'm thinking about making a shuttered wall along one end of a shed to hold grain, I would like to know how wide to space the reinforcing bars please? I see some people using mesh, I was thinking of just using rebars horizontally the same as if it was concrete panels

Thanks in advance for any advice
