    I've seen videos where they separate rebar with plastic pieces and I believe they said it's to prevent rust. They also talked about plastic coated rebar. This is the first I've heard of fiberglass coated ones though.

  • @thomaspepper2201
    @thomaspepper2201 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    If you chose to not chair up the rebar to center of your 4-6 slab and think you can pull it up as you place concrete, The bar is a waste of time. Fiberglass rebar can only be used to a building height of four floor in concrete, and my understanding is it is NOT TO BE MIXED IN SLABS OR WALLS. I'm a past bridge builder and never put fiberglass bar in any freeway-bridge work, hiway, or runways. If concern, it's expoy coated from supplyer. Ive placed containers on 2ft sq. block post with a 12in SQ by 1/2 nelson studed plates set at top of pour then weld container to plate. Past county code in WA Ive also seen where they laid the contaner on its side and screwed chicken wire on floor joist and shot the foam threw it and the wire protected it and vernin left it alone

    Using steelfibers in concrete is not 'blocked' by old geezers, it just can't replace rebars but what it does it limits cracking but increasing tension capacity more evenly. Also fiberglass rebars are not stronger than steel but it's smart to use them as the most exterior layer since they don't corrode.

    With rebar in concrete as long as you don’t burn the surface of the concrete it doesn’t matter what kind of material you use. The rule is to stay two inches away from the bottom top and edges of the pour. And you should keep the tie wire short to prevent it from breaking through and allowing moisture from getting into the rod matt.

    I really appreciate the thought & quality of your shop floor installation!
    Thinking about the structure of containers, especially for “temporary” or quick installation, could auger-type supports be installed at the 4 corners to support the container while allowing for an adjustable (& even damper) carriage connection to be bolted into, be used for a level installation above ground? I’m thinking about it for disaster housing & emergency situations where speed & using small & common equipment could get shelter & functional space up quickly in most areas.

    • @TheContainerGuyTV
      @TheContainerGuyTV  11 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      You can absolutely use screw piles under the 4 corners. Or just set them on blocking for rapid, temporary deployment.

    From the US - a second layer of upper reinforcement (6x6 WWM or what you used, fiberglass rod) was usually added to thick & high PSI slab (8" plus 5-6K psi), prevents surface cracking & exfoliation. Its been 20 years sense I spec'ed floors for industrial bldg's so that prob. changed?

      Between our myself, our engineers, draftsmen, architect, 3D renderer, and film crew, we pretty much use everything. Much of the 3D modelling software is employee preference based on their training/schooling. We can share STEP files or DWGs across platforms. All software has it's pros and cons so it's nice to have a wide range of skills on board.

      Was a great opportunity to relate it back to container construction. I'm sure everything (including the land) will be 2.5 - 3 million (CAD) once it's all said and done but the capital expenditure for the business is long overdue. We will be so much more efficient once we're moved in.

    Not sure where you are in Canada but where I am we have never worried about or even talked about radon. And spray foam is way more expensive then sheet insulation. For a 40x80 building it was almost $30,000 to spray the floor. We did sheet for under $3500. Also you would have to load an extreme amount of weight on the end of a container to get it to bend. We have dropped loaded ones and never had them bend

    I've just sub'd, great videos btw, and watched a few of your videos. What are your thoughts on container multifamily homes? This might be a way for affordable housing. Spray foam in between containers and the outer ones insulated on the exterior. Do you think that would eliminate or lessen the condensation issue?

    What thickness slab do you suggest for a container home in a cyclone prone area? Do you suggest thicker around the edges?

    • @TheContainerGuyTV
      @TheContainerGuyTV  9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      It's most important to anchor the containers to the slab. Thickened edge is smart. Our engineer told us 11" along the edge and 5" in the middle for a different building but my guess is something similar to that..

    Wanting to create a container home set up in Phoenix, AZ on flat land. Will have at most 2 shipping containers stacked on top of each other (eventually--at first just 2 containers, side by side). Wondering if it will be better for me to go with a pier foundation or a monolithic thicken edge slab. Any suggestions?

    • @bigdfig6083
      @bigdfig6083 7 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Wat he said re: inspectors and their proclivities. If it were simply a $ decision, I would think a set of piers would beat a slab in just about every case.
      However, there's regulations and inspectors which will factor heavily into your choice. Other influences could include how long it will exist in place and the actual ground/soil structure under and around proposed location.

      I always worry about rodents/snakes living under the containers and having no way to get down there.. I hear if you spread crushed rock, you're good to go but still.. Or spray foam the "crawl space".. I like that idea!
      But yes, if you are in a frost zone, ICF is the way to go to frost-protect your utilities. This video was more about seismic areas (California & other locations near tectonic plates).
      I could/should do a few more videos on foundations yet. I also really like screw piles and I beams. Zero concrete. Skip the entire trade from being on site. Every instance and site is different though so there's no one-size-fits-all.

      I wouldn't buy a container home off anyone. There are probably less than a handful on the planet (if any) that are built properly. Hopefully our experiments and developments over the next few years can change that.
