In the construction industry, the wall is an important part of the building, which not only plays the role of separating the space, but also has the functions of heat preservation, sound insulation, fire prevention and so on. According to the different materials and structures, the wall can be divided into two types: empty bucket wall and solid wall. This article will analyze the advantages and disadvantages of these two types of walls.
1. Empty bucket wall.
The hollow bucket wall is a kind of wall with a hollow structure, and its main feature is that there are cavities inside the wall, forming a bucket-like structure. The advantages of the empty bucket wall are as follows:
1.Material saving: Because there is a cavity inside the wall, the thickness of the empty bucket wall is thinner than that of a solid wall, so building materials can be saved.
2.Reduce the dead weight: The dead weight of the empty bucket wall is lighter than that of the solid wall, which is conducive to reducing the overall weight of the building and reducing the bearing pressure of the foundation.
3.Good thermal insulation performance: The cavity inside the empty bucket wall can play a certain role in thermal insulation, which is conducive to improving the thermal insulation performance of the building.
4.Good sound insulation performance: The cavity of the empty bucket wall can play a role in sound insulation, which is conducive to improving the sound insulation performance of the building.
However, there are also some drawbacks to empty bucket walls:
1.Poor seismic performance: Due to the cavity inside the empty bucket wall, its seismic performance is worse than that of a solid wall.
2.The construction difficulty is relatively large: the construction technology of the empty bucket wall is more complex and requires a high technical level.
3.Poor durability: The durability of the empty bucket wall is worse than that of the solid wall, and it is prone to quality problems such as cracks.
Second, the solid wall.
A solid wall is a type of wall that does not have a hollow structure, and its main feature is that there are no cavities inside the wall. The advantages of a solid wall are as follows:
1.Good seismic performance: The solid wall has good seismic performance and can withstand large loads.
2.Good durability: The durability of solid walls is good, and it is not easy to have quality problems such as cracks.
3.Simple construction: The construction process of solid wall is relatively simple, and the construction difficulty is low.
However, there are also some drawbacks to solid walls:
1.High material consumption: The thickness of the solid wall is thicker than that of the empty bucket wall, so the material consumption is larger.
2.Self-weight: The self-weight of a solid wall will increase the overall weight of the building and increase the bearing pressure of the foundation.
3.Poor thermal insulation and sound insulation performance: The thermal insulation performance and sound insulation performance of solid walls are worse than those of empty bucket walls.
In short, empty bucket walls and solid walls, as an important part of the building, have their own advantages and disadvantages. The right wall type and technology should be selected according to the actual situation and needs to achieve the efficient, comfortable and environmentally friendly goals of the building.
