Reinforced concrete column
Reinforced concrete columns play a key role as structural supports, significantly increasing the strength of load-bearing walls. They provide alternative support for floors in spaces without divisions.
In many cases, they are also an indispensable element in knee walls. These characteristic vertical elements of buildings take up loads from the higher parts of the structure and transfer them to the lower floors. Reinforced concrete columns are designed to reinforce partitions, most often with a square or rectangular cross-section, ensuring the stability and durability of the entire structure.
Reinforced concrete columns are key structural elements that act as supports, significantly increasing the strength of load-bearing walls and ensuring the stability of the entire structure. They are vertical elements that take up loads from the higher parts of the structure and transfer them to the lower floors, providing support for ceilings in spaces without divisions and in knee walls.
- Material: reinforced concrete (combination of concrete and reinforcing steel)
- Cross-section: mostly square or rectangular
Reinforced concrete columns are designed to reinforce building partitions, ensuring their stability and durability. Their design allows for efficient load transfer, which is crucial to the integrity of the entire structure.
Reinforced concrete columns are used in a wide range of construction projects, both in residential and commercial buildings. They are indispensable wherever strong, reliable support for floors or load-bearing walls is required, especially in spaces with long spans without divisions. Thanks to their strength and stability, these columns are key to ensuring the durability and safety of a building’s structure.

Stabilization
TMP stabilization is particularly useful in cases where the native soil does not meet the bearing capacity and stability requirements required for the planned structures. Through this process, the mechanical properties of the soil can be significantly improved, allowing more efficient and economical use of materials available on site.
The effect of stabilization is to increase bearing capacity, reduce settlement and improve weather resistance. Here is a table with a description of the applications of RM (Mixture Types) 1.5, RM 2.5, RM 4 and RM 5.
| Type of mixture (RM) | Strength (MPa) | Application |
|---|---|---|
|
RM 1.5 |
1,5 |
Stabilization of light substructure soils, strengthening of substructure layers for local roads, bicycle paths, sidewalks. |
|
RM 2.5 |
2,5 |
Soil stabilization of substructure for roads with moderate traffic, reinforcement of pavement of squares, parking lots, railroad substructure. |
|
RM 4 |
4,0 |
Soil stabilization of substructure for heavy traffic roads, highways, expressways, major transportation routes. |
|
RM 5 |
5,0 |
Stabilization of soils in difficult geotechnical conditions, substructures for highly loaded structures, airports, ports, industrial zones. |

Optimum Bau offers precast concrete products for a wide range of applications, including walls, columns, beams, floor slabs, stairs, and other load-bearing and architectural elements. Our products are used in residential, industrial and infrastructure construction.
Our prefabricated elements are manufactured in accordance with current national and European standards, including EN 206. We pay great attention to quality control at every stage of production, which guarantees the durability, strength and precise execution of the elements.
Yes, we offer full design flexibility. Prefabricated products can be customized both in terms of dimensions and specific technical requirements, allowing us to implement even the most demanding construction projects.
Prefabrication significantly reduces construction time, reduces man-hours on site, reduces the risk of execution errors and the impact of weather conditions. In addition, the prefabrication process allows for better quality control and optimization of construction logistics.
Prefabrication contributes to reducing construction waste and raw material consumption. Thanks to production under controlled conditions, material optimization is possible, and on-site assembly processes are much faster, reducing CO₂ emissions associated with construction work.
Precast concrete products provide very good thermal and acoustic insulation performance, making them ideal for both residential and commercial construction. We also offer hybrid solutions, combining concrete with other materials for increased insulation performance.
We are able to produce prefabricated components in a variety of dimensions, depending on project requirements. We work with our customers to provide components with optimal dimensions according to their technical specifications and assembly needs.
Yes, at Optimum Bau we provide technical advice, from the selection of solutions to support during implementation.
