Danh mục: Steel Stake

Concrete steel stakes, also referred to as concrete forming pins or metal concrete stakes, play a crucial role in maintaining the integrity of concrete forms during pouring. They offer various shapes tailored to different requirements:

Round Steel Stake: This is the most commonly used type. Its smooth, rounded profile allows for easy insertion into the ground, ensuring a secure hold for straight concrete edges such as sidewalks or footings.

Square Steel Stake: Similar to the round stake, the square steel stake provides a sturdy grip for straight edges. Some versions may feature notches or holes on the sides for tying or nailing form boards.

Flat I-Beam Stake: With a wide, flat profile resembling an “I” beam, this stake offers increased surface area, making it perfect for securing larger or curved concrete forms like walls or foundations.

Flat Steel Stake: This thin, flat stake is typically employed for lightweight forms or securing plastic sheeting used in concrete curing.

Here’s a breakdown of their applications:

Round and Square Stakes: Optimal for straight wall applications such as sidewalks, curbs, or footings. Flat I-Beam Stake: Suitable for curved wall applications, foundations, or any situation requiring additional support for the concrete form. Flat Steel Stake: Appropriate for lightweight applications or securing plastic sheeting over poured concrete.

Additional Considerations:

The size of the stake (length and diameter/width) will vary based on the depth and weight of the concrete form being secured. Ground conditions (soil type) may influence the most effective stake type. To ensure proper use, concrete steel stakes are driven into the ground at regular intervals behind the concrete form to prevent outward bowing caused by the pressure of the wet concrete. Once the concrete cures and the forms are removed, the stakes are typically extracted for reuse in future projects.
