Ivyuma vy’ishimikiro vy’ubwubatsi bikoreshwa cane mu bikorwa vy’ubuhinga bwa none, mu vy’ubwubatsi, no mu kurinda uburimyi n’amashamba. Izwi kandi cane mu nganda nk’urusenga rw’umuyagankuba, urusenga rw’amabara, canke urusenga rw’uruzitiro. Igikoresho c’urutsinga rw’inzira y’amabuye y’agaciro tubona ku musi ku musi ni igikoresho gisanzwe mu rwego rwaco rw’ivyuma rwo kurwanya-ugusenyuka. Ico gikoresho gikoresha cane cane intsinga z’icuma zifise carbone ntoyi, intsinga z’icuma zidashobora gusenyuka, intsinga z’ivyuma, n’izindi nsinga z’icuma nk’ibikoresho nyamukuru. Ukoresheje ubuhinga bwo gusudira amabara y’ivyuma, intsinga z’ivyuma ziringaniye n’izihagaze zirasudirwa hamwe mu buryo bugororotse kugira ngo zibe nk’urusenga rumwe rw’inzira y’inzira canke y’inzira y’inzira. Kubera uburebure bwayo bw’urusenga buringaniye, imiterere ikomeye, ibisobanuro vyiza, n’igiciro kinini-ubushobozi, urusenga rw’urusenga rwacitse igikoresho nyamukuru c’urusenga gikoreshwa mu bihe vyinshi kandi ni igikoresho c’ishimikiro gihambaye mu bijanye n’urusenga rw’urusenga.
Biciye mu guteza imbere inganda mu kiringo kirekire-n’ugusubiramwo ubuhinga, urusenga rw’intsinga rwashizwemwo uburyo bwo gushikiriza ibintu, bushobora gutandukanywa hakurikijwe ibipimo bibiri nyamukuru: ibikoresho vy’ishimikiro n’uburyo bwo kurwanya-ugusenyuka. Ku bijanye n’uguhitamwo ivyuma, umugozi w’umwirabura w’ibara ry’agahama (carbon black annealed) ntuzimvye kandi uraryoshe, ubereye gusa gukoreshwa mu nzu yumye mu gihe gito-; wire galvanized iza mu bwoko bwompi bukonje-dip n’ubushuhe-dip galvanizing, itanga ubushobozi bwiza cane bwo guhangana n’umugese kandi ibereye ibikorwa vyinshi vyo mu nzu no hanze, bikaba biyigira igikoresho c’ubudandaji gikoreshwa cane kw’isoko; umugozi w’icuma udashobora gusenyuka urashobora guhangana n’ugusenyuka-, ushobora guhangana n’aside n’amazi -, kandi ushobora guhangana n’ubukonje-, akenshi ukoreshwa mu bikorwa bidasanzwe vy’agaciro kanini nk’ugutunganya ibifungurwa n’ivy’imiti; kandi intsinga z’icuma zikomeye cane zifise inkomezi zikomeye cane kandi ahanini zitunganirizwa guhinduka ivyuma vy’urusenga, cane cane ku migambi yo gukomeza ivy’umuzigo wa beton-.
Hashingiwe ku mice y’uguhingura ibintu bikomeye, ivyuma vy’urusenga vy’ivyuma bifatanye bigabanywamwo ahanini mu buryo bubiri: imizingo n’amabara, bibereye mu bikorwa bitandukanye vy’ubwubatsi no mu gukoresha. Mu bisanzwe, imizingo ifise ubwaguke bwa metero 1 na metero 1,2, uburebure bw’imizingo imwe bukaba buva kuri metero 30 gushika ku metero 100. Akenshi bikozwe mu nsinga nziza cane, ntibiremerera cane, kandi birashobora gutemwa bitagoranye, ivyo bikaba bituma gutwara no kwubaka biba vyiza cane. Bikoreshwa cane mu gutera ivyuma ku mpome, mu gukomeza ubushuhe bwo hasi, mu gutera insenga zidashobora guterwa n’imbeba, no mu gutunganya ibibanza vy’ibitungwa bitobito-. Ivyo bipande vy’urusenga vy’intsinga ahanini bifise ubunini busanzwe bwa metero 1×2 na metero 2×3, bikozwe mu nsinga zikomeye zifatanye, bikaba bituma zikomera cane muri rusangi, zidashobora guhinduka, kandi zikaba zishobora kwikorera umuzigo no gukingira. Bikoreshwa canecane mu bihe bisaba inkomezi z’inyubako, nk’ugutandukanya ahantu h’uruganda, gukingira umushinge w’ikinogo c’ubwubatsi, gukingira uruzitiro rwo ku ruhande, no gukomeza ibihimba vya beton vyateguwe imbere y’igihe.
Kubera ubushobozi bwayo bwiza cane, urusenga rw’intsinga rufise ibikorwa mu nganda zose. Injeniyeri y’ubwubatsi ni yo nzira nyamukuru ikoreshwamwo, aho ishobora gukoreshwa mu gukingira imivyimba mu gupfuka inkuta z’imbere, gukingira imivyimba mu gukingira inkuta zo hanze, gukomeza uburyo bwo gushushanya hasi, gukingira imivyimba mu bibanza vy’amabuye n’ibisenge, no kurinda amabarabara n’ibitanda vy’amabuye. Ni ikintu gihambaye co gukingira no gukomeza imivyimba mu vy’ubuhinga bw’amazu. Mu rwego rw’uburimyi, amashyamba, n’ibitungwa, ishobora gukoreshwa mu gukora inzitiro n’ibibanza vy’inkoko, intare, ingurube, n’inkwavu, mu gukingira inzitiro z’itongo ry’ivyamwa n’imboga, kandi nk’urusenga rwo gukingira inyoni n’imbeba kugira ngo ibiterwa vy’uburimyi n’amashamba bikingirwe n’ububiko butekanye. Mu bibanza vy’amakomine no mu nganda, ikoreshwa cane mu guca ibice vy’amasengesho y’uruganda, mu bibanza vyo kubikamwo ibintu, mu gukingira ahantu h’ubwubatsi h’igihe gito, no mu gucungera amazi asohoka mu nzira, bihuza ibikorwa vyo kwitandukanya, gukingira no kuyungurura amazi asohoka mu nzira. Vyongeye, ico kintu gishobora kandi guhindurwamwo ibipfukisho vyo gukingira imashini n’ibikoresho, ibibanza vyo kubikamwo ibintu be n’ibipfukisho vy’ibitanda. Ni vyiza kandi mu bikorwa vyo mu rugo nk’ugukingira ibaraza, gukingira ibikoko, no kwitandukanya n’itongo, ivyo bikaba bituma bikora cane.
