Stirrups / Horse Stools / Horse Piers: Practical Tools in Construction Engineering
In the field of modern construction, the quality of detailed accessories often directly affects the overall quality and efficiency of the project. Stirrups, horse stools, and horse piers, as indispensable auxiliary tools in concrete construction, although seemingly small, play a key role in ensuring structural stability and simplifying the construction process.
I. Basic Overview
Although the three have different names, they actually refer to the same type of product, with different designations due to regional construction habits. They are all made of high-strength engineering plastics through integral injection molding. Thanks to the unique characteristics of plastic materials, they show significant advantages in various construction scenarios.
The plastic material endows such products with many natural advantages: compared with traditional steel bar horse stools, plastic products do not need cutting or welding, and can be used directly after unpacking, which greatly reduces the labor and time costs of on-site processing; their weight is only 1/5 of that of metal products of the same specification, and they occupy little space when stacked for transportation, which can effectively reduce logistics costs; more importantly, the plastic material avoids the problem of easy rusting of steel bars, will not affect the durability of the concrete structure due to oxidation, and at the same time eliminates the additional process of anti-rust treatment, which significantly reduces the overall engineering cost in the long run.
II. Wide Application Scenarios
With stable performance and adaptability, plastic stirrups / horse stools / horse piers have become a universal choice in the field of industrial and civil construction. Specific applications include:
- Building construction: used to support the steel bar protective layer of floor slabs, ensuring uniform spacing of steel bars and improving the structural strength after concrete pouring;
- Traffic engineering: in the construction of the base course of roads and bridges, assist in fixing the steel mesh to prevent the displacement of steel bars during pouring;
- Special scenarios: in projects with high requirements for structural accuracy such as tunnels, airport runways, and subway track foundations, they can accurately control the thickness of the steel bar protective layer, ensuring the safety and durability of the project.
III. Specification Sizes and Adaptability
To meet the construction needs of concrete components with different thicknesses, the product provides 7 standardized sizes, covering various scenarios from thin layers to thick layers:
- 50×60mm: suitable for indoor thin floor slabs and wall structures;
- 60×70mm ~ 90×100mm: widely used in conventional construction such as ordinary floor slabs and road bases;
- 100×110mm ~ 110×120mm: suitable for thick-section concrete structures such as bridges and tunnels.
The unified injection molding process ensures that the dimensional accuracy of each product is controlled within ±0.5mm, which can strictly meet the requirements for the thickness of the steel bar protective layer in the design specifications, providing reliable guarantee for the project quality.
Summary
Plastic stirrups / horse stools / horse piers, with their convenience, economy, and reliability, are gradually replacing traditional metal products and becoming the preferred auxiliary tools in modern construction. From urban high-rises to transportation hubs, these seemingly ordinary accessories are silently guarding the structural safety of every project and promoting the construction industry towards a more efficient, green, and refined direction.
