In the traditional construction industry, the production of ring beams is a project with high technical requirements and large manpower consumption. In the past, construction relied on the skill of professional carpenters, who not only needed to accurately build the formwork according to the design drawings, but also had to carry out complex demoulding operations after the concrete was poured, which was often time-consuming and laborious, and was accompanied by wasted resources and environmental pressures.
However, with the development of modern building technology, especially the application of EPS (Expanded Polystyrene) modular building technology, it has brought revolutionary changes to the ring beam and the entire house construction. This new type of construction process abandons the traditional approach of wooden formwork in favor of prefabricated EPS modules as structural and thermal integration components.
The EPS module is based on polystyrene foam, which is lightweight, high-strength, good thermal insulation and excellent durability. When using the EPS module to build ring beams, its standardized dimensions and convenient splicing methods make it possible for even small workers without superb carpentry skills to quickly and accurately install in place, greatly reducing the technical requirements and labor intensity of labor.
More importantly, EPS module construction can not only effectively improve construction efficiency, but also significantly enhance the thermal insulation effect of buildings. Due to the thermal resistance characteristics of the EPS module itself, it can effectively isolate the external influence of cold and heat, so as to ensure the stability of the internal temperature of the foundation concrete ring beam and even the whole building, prolong the service life of the concrete structure, and can cut off the influence of the permafrost layer, reducing the risk of foundation damage caused by winter freezing.
To sum up, the successful application of EPS modular housing construction technology is a successful challenge and surpass the traditional construction method. Its popularization marks that China's construction industry has taken a solid step in energy conservation and environmental protection, improving project quality and construction efficiency, and is an important innovation achievement in the process of modern building industrialization.
