Explanation of some professional terms: loose water, flashing, expansion joints, settlement joints, anti-seismic joints, construction joints, leg ties, skirting lines, parapets. Flood water: refers to the protection of the wall foundation around the house and the dispersion of rainwater away. The protective layer of the wall base is generally about 800mm wide. There are several types such as brick paving, cast-in-situ fine stone concrete and concrete spreading. This will easily make the foundation settle more easily. Simply put, if water is not distributed, the walls of the house will be more likely to have cracks in the future. There is usually half a meter of cement floor from the root of the wall. Look around the house or around any building to see if there is a concrete floor about one meter from the root of the wall. That is water dispersion. As the name suggests, many buildings have "spreading water" that drains water downwards from the top. It can spread water outwards around the building and the outdoor floor surrounding the building. There are many ways to disperse water, and it is not necessarily made of cement. "Spreading water" "It is an inclined slope protection located around the exterior wall. The slope is generally 3%-5%, and the width is generally 0.6m-1m. Its purpose is to quickly drain away surface water and prevent the feet and lower masonry from receiving water. The structure of the water distribution: 1. 60 thick C15 concrete sprinkled with 1:1 cement sand, compacted until smooth 2. 150 thick 3:7 lime soil cushion, 500mm beyond the outer edge of the water distribution. 3. Compact the plain soil 6% of the outward slope in order from top to bottom. The "skirting line" or "skirting board" is a skirt board about 5 to 10cm high on the part of the wall close to the floor. The purpose is to prevent shoes from kicking on the white wall when people walk to the wall. In addition, it can also be prevented when placing furniture. Furniture that is too close to the wall will damage the wall surface; "interior dado" refers to indoor dado. The function of dado is similar to that of wainscoting and skirting boards, except that the height is generally about 1 to 2 meters to the ground. Flooding Flooding: fàn shuǐ 1. The ancient name of water. The old road was in the south of Zhongmu County in present-day Henan Province. Lost for a long time. 2. Ancient water name. The old road was in the north of Cao County in present-day Shandong Province. It branched off from the ancient Jishui River and flowed northeast to the north of Dingtao County. Infused with ancient Heze. Lost for a long time. Flooding is a waterproofing process in buildings. In layman's terms, it is a waterproofing treatment carried out at the intersection of the wall and the roof, that is, at the intersection of all flat surfaces that need waterproofing. To put it bluntly, it means wrapping the corners with waterproofing materials. . Different from loose water, its structural key points and methods are as follows: (1) The membrane for lowering the roof is continued to be laid on the vertical wall to form a membrane waterproofing, and the flashing height is not less than 250mm. (2) At the joint between the roof and the vertical parapet, the mortar leveling layer should be spread into an arc shape or a 45-degree slope, and the membrane adhesive should be brushed on it to make the membrane tightly adhered and prevent the membrane from being lifted or broken. And add a layer of roll material. (3) Secure the end of the roll at the top of the floodwater to prevent the roll from sliding down on the vertical wall. The general method is: cut a long groove in the vertical wall, press the roll-down material into the groove, press it with waterproof battens, then fill it with sealing material, and apply cement mortar on the outside for protection. The wall above the groove should also be waterproofed. Popular explanation: Flooding refers to the waterproofing method of roof parapets, overhangs or high and low roof walls. Its main function is to ensure that the parapets, overhangs, high and low roof walls are not washed away by rainwater, and to protect the waterproof layer of the rest of the roof ( It will not cause water to enter). Flooding is usually done on the roof, at the junction of the roof and the parapet! To prevent rainwater leakage, water dispersion is done outdoors on the first floor! That is, with an outdoor elevation of +_0.000, a slope of about 2% is made of about one meter. A wide circle along the periphery of the building to prevent rainwater from leaking from the gap between the building and the floor! Generally, the loose water is connected to the foot! The expansion and contraction joint is used to reduce the impact of material expansion and contraction deformation on the building. A pre-set gap in a building. A settlement joint is a pre-set gap in a building to reduce the impact of uneven deformation of the foundation on the building. An aseismic joint is a pre-set gap in the building to reduce or prevent adjacent structural units caused by earthquake action. A gap preset due to collision. Construction joint: When concrete construction cannot be continuously poured at one time due to technical or construction organization reasons, the overlap surface or post-pouring tape is left at the specified position of the structure. The function of plastering and tying the thickened part of the wall where the exterior wall of the building is in contact with the outdoor ground or scattered water is to prevent the erosion of ground water and rainwater dripping from the eaves, thereby protecting the wall, ensuring indoor dryness, and improving the building's of durability. The height of the foot brace is generally the height difference between the indoor floor and the outdoor floor.
Special words used when decorating Shile's baseboards. In the bedroom design, the inner corner line, waistline, and baseboards play a visual balancing role. Using their linear feel, materials, colors, etc. to echo each other indoors can play a role. To achieve better beautification and decoration effect. Another function of skirting is its protective function. The baseboard, as the name suggests, is the area that can be kicked by feet, so it is more susceptible to impact. Making skirting can better make the connection between the wall and the ground stronger, reduce the deformation of the wall, and avoid damage caused by external collision. In addition, the baseboards are also easier to scrub. If dirty water splashes on the mopping floor, scrubbing is very convenient. The baseboards are made of porcelain, wood, or marble. In the past, the height of the baseboards was generally around 10 cm during decoration. In recent years, the height of the baseboards has been gradually reduced. Generally, families choose a height of 6.6 cm or 7 cm, because this can make the interior decoration more comfortable. Look more delicate and beautiful. Decorative drawings are generally 150mm. Parapet is a form of building wall. It was originally called parapet or female wall. Its actual name is eaves wall. It is also known as battlement among the people. It is a kind of low wall that is higher than the roof and city wall. In terms of architectural form, the parapet is a way to connect the shape of the roof and the exterior wall, and later gradually developed into a specialized protective wall. The origin of the parapet wall is very interesting. According to folklore, in ancient times, due to the constraints of feudal ethics, wealthy families built a wall on their roofs and walls in order to prevent their daughters from going out casually. Without leaving home, but unable to resist the excitement and temptation of the outside world, they would quietly climb up to the roof or high wall and look out through the short protective wall. Over time, they were called Made a parapet. There are various architectural forms of parapets, generally including solid walls and those with lookout holes. The origin of the name of the parapet wall: An ancient mason was busy at work and had to take his young daughter with him. One day while building the roof, the daughter accidentally fell from the house and died. The craftsman was heartbroken, so he built a low wall on the roof in case the tragedy happened again. Later, people named it "parapet". It was a joke. The real origin: Song Dynasty's "Building Fa Shi" - "It is said to be humble, compared to the city like a woman to her husband", it is the upper part of the city wall. Parapet is an architectural term, which refers to the low wall with the outer wall of a house higher than the roof. We can often see it in the architecture of the Ming and Qing Dynasties. This is one of the organized roof drainage solutions. When overhanging eaves are not desired due to architectural modeling requirements, the exterior wall is usually raised to seal the roof. This part of the exterior wall higher than the roof is called the parapet. To put it simply, the rainwater on the roof is collected in one place and then discharged outside the house. If there is no parapet, gutters or gutters, rainwater will flow down the wall in all directions. The feet of the exterior walls are often corroded by splashing rainwater, which reduces the strength and durability of the exterior wall; rainwater dripping from the cornices May affect sidewalks, etc. These shortcomings become more prominent when the buildings are taller and the rainfall is greater.
