Why use prestressed slabs in high-end buildings?
The real estate market in Balneário Camboriú and Itajaí demands increasingly bold projects. Furthermore, The search for spacious and flexible interior spaces has transformed modern structural engineering. Therefore, The use of prestressed slabs has become the ideal solution for large spans without the excessive use of beams or columns.
How does prestressing work in practice?
Prestressed slabs utilize high-strength steel cables within their interior. That way, We apply a compressive force that neutralizes the tensile stresses caused by the weight of the structure. Consequently, We were able to create thinner and lighter slabs. For example, When designing a living room in an apartment overlooking the Central Beach waterfront, the absence of exposed beams significantly enhances the interior design.
Safety and technical standards
Safety is our absolute priority at WGB Architecture and Engineering. That's why, we strictly follow the ABNT NBR 6118, which establishes the design criteria for plain, reinforced, and prestressed concrete structures. Furthermore, Compliance with these standards ensures that each slab perfectly supports the vertical loads and wind forces that are common in tall buildings in the region.
Competitive advantages for your project
Prestressing offers several technical and aesthetic benefits. Firstly, It reduces the building's own weight, which generates direct savings in the foundations. Furthermore, Crack control is much more efficient, resulting in superior durability. Finally, The speed of execution on the construction site is optimized, allowing the work to progress with greater agility and precision.
