Reinforcement of beams and stringers
We realize the reinforcement for beams, stringers and other load-bearing elements that are crucial to the skeleton of a building. The basis of the process is the structural design, which determines the dimensions of beams and stringers and the exact placement of reinforcement.
The main reinforcement, or longitudinal bars, run along the length of the beam or stringer and carry the main tensile forces. These bars are placed at the top and bottom of the beam, depending on the expected stresses. Usually these bars are of larger diameter (e.g. 16-25 mm). The main bars and stirrups are connected by tie wire, which holds the entire reinforcement structure in place. It is crucial that the entire reinforcement cage is stable and maintains its form when concrete is poured. Therefore, all connections must be carefully checked before proceeding further.
How does the process of reinforcing beams and stringers work ?
1.
Preparation of the reinforcement design
The design details the type and diameter of bars, the distance between bars and the amount of main and auxiliary reinforcement. Based on the design, the appropriate steel bars are selected. The main reinforcement of beams and stringers is usually bars with a diameter of 12 to 25 mm, and additional stirrups, which reinforce the entire structure, are usually of smaller diameter (6-12 mm).
2.
Site preparation
The first step is the installation of formwork, which forms the shape of the beam or stringer. Formwork can be made of wood, plywood or steel forms (such as Doka, Peri). It is important that the formwork is sturdy and strong, as it must withstand the weight of the concrete. Before starting reinforcement, formwork must be cleaned and protected against concrete adhesion.
3.
Installation of main reinforcement
The main reinforcement, or longitudinal bars, run along the length of the beam or stringer and carry the main tensile forces. These bars are placed at the top and bottom of the beam, depending on the expected stresses. Usually these bars are of larger diameter (e.g. 16-25 mm). Main bars can be uniform along the entire length of the beam or stringer, or composed of several bars connected by laps. It is important to maintain continuity of the bars to ensure the strength of the structure.
4.
Installation of transverse reinforcement
Stirrups are smaller diameter steel bars that are arranged transversely around the main bars to form a reinforcement cage. Their function is to prevent buckling of the longitudinal bars and to transfer shear forces. Stirrups are installed at regular intervals, and a denser distribution of stirrups is used in the support regions of beams and stringers, where the highest shear forces occur.
5.
Joining steel bars
The main bars and stirrups are connected using
tie wire, which holds the entire reinforcement structure in place. This wire should be firmly clamped so that the reinforcement does not move during concreting. It is crucial that the entire reinforcement cage is stable and maintains its form during concrete pouring. Therefore, all connections must be carefully checked.

Professional installation of formwork ensures precise execution of concrete structures. Thanks to the professional approach of Optimum Bau’s installation team, the formwork is perfectly matched, which translates into durability and stability of the entire structure. This also minimizes the risk of errors that can lead to costly repairs.
Optimum Bau uses the renowned PERI and DOKA formwork systems, which are known for their high quality, flexibility and durability. These systems allow fast and safe installation of formwork, which speeds up the construction process and ensures optimal results.
Both formwork systems are high-end, but differ somewhat in design and purpose. PERI is more versatile and flexible in the context of complex projects, while DOKA is characterized by simplicity and speed of installation. The choice of system depends on the specific requirements of the project, and our specialists will help you choose the best solution.
Floor restoration and polishing involves refreshing deteriorated concrete surfaces and giving them a new, aesthetically pleasing appearance. Polishing makes floors smooth, shiny and more resistant to wear and tear. This service is ideal for industrial, commercial and domestic surfaces.
Polished concrete floors are extremely durable, scratch-resistant and easy to clean. Their aesthetic appearance makes them perfect for modern interiors. In addition, thanks to polishing, concrete gains anti-slip properties and better resistance to moisture.
Optimum Bau specializes in complex concreting of structural elements such as stairs, terraces, columns, walls and floors. Our experience and precision ensure high quality workmanship, regardless of the complexity of the project.
Yes, foundation concreting is a key service in our offer. Our team specializes in the implementation of solid and durable foundations, which are the basis for stable buildings. We use modern technologies and high-quality materials to ensure the durability and safety of foundations.
The process of concreting foundations consists of several key steps: site preparation, placement of reinforcement, installation of formwork, pouring of concrete, and protection and care of the foundation after it is poured. Optimum Bau takes care of each of these steps, ensuring precision and high quality workmanship.
Reinforcement is the placement of steel bars in the structure, which reinforce the concrete, increasing its resistance to loads and stresses. Reinforcement of beams, stringers, columns and walls is a key element, ensuring the durability and safety of the entire structure.
