Foundation challenges in restricted terrains
Designing foundations near property lines requires absolute technical precision. Often, complex architectural designs limit the placement of boundary columns. Therefore, the use of lever and balance beams becomes indispensable. In this way, WGB Arquitetura e Engenharia safely resolves structural eccentricities. Furthermore, we ensure that the load center of the column coincides with the center of gravity of the base.
The technical rigor of NBR 6122
Foundation engineering follows strict standards to prevent differential settlement. For example, the NBR 6122 We define rigorous criteria for the dimensioning of these elements. In this way, our solutions fully meet safety and durability requirements. Furthermore, we use advanced calculations to efficiently transfer stress. Therefore, every WGB project strictly adheres to design and execution guidelines.
Strategic application in complex environments
Imagine a high-end project next to the charming Itajaí Linear Park. In this scenario, the terrain presents severe physical limitations that prevent the use of conventional isolated footings. However, we expertly applied cantilever beams to overcome this restriction. Thus, the load from the boundary column is transferred to another structural element. Consequently, we eliminate the excessive bending moment at the base. In addition, we optimize material consumption and ensure the integrity of the structure.
Balancing beams: the perfect balance
Tie beams connect two distinct pillars. In this way, they redistribute loads evenly across the ground. On the other hand, a cantilever beam works with a reaction lever on an internal pile. Therefore, the choice between one or the other depends on the topography and the specific load. However, our technical team analyzes every detail to define the best strategy. With the aim of maximizing performance, we integrate these elements into the overall architectural design.
WGB expertise in structural engineering.
Modern architecture demands solutions that defy gravity. However, the foundation must be solid. Therefore, each of our projects receives a unique feasibility study. Furthermore, we monitor the execution to ensure no detail is overlooked. Thus, we guarantee the security of your investment from the very first calculation. After all, excellence in engineering is the pillar that sustains the success of your building.
