The complexity of foundations in vertical buildings.
Designing foundations for tall buildings requires absolute precision. Therefore, WGB Arquitetura e Engenharia prioritizes technical rigor at every stage of the project. Structural calculations must consider, above all, extreme vertical loads and bending moments caused by wind. Furthermore, soil analysis is crucial to the success of the construction.
Geotechnical investigation as a starting point
Before starting any project, we conduct in-depth soil surveys. That way, We identify the resistant layers and the level of the water table. For example, when designing buildings near the shore of Praia Brava, in Itajaí, the behavior of the sandy soil requires extra care. Consequently, We use high-capacity piles to ensure the necessary stability.
Soil-structure modeling and interaction
Modern engineering has evolved significantly. On the other hand, However, calculating deep foundations requires state-of-the-art software. Furthermore, We applied the soil-structure interaction method to simulate real deformations. In this way, We were able to reduce differential settlement that could compromise the aesthetics or safety of the building.
Integration with landscaping and infrastructure
As specialists in projects that combine engineering and landscaping, we understand that the foundation doesn't end underground. For example, We need to plan the space for the development of roots in hanging gardens without interfering with the integrity of the foundation beams. Like this, Integrated planning prevents future problems and improves the quality of delivery. Therefore, The harmony between the rigid structure and the green elements is a distinctive feature that we apply to our projects.
Safety, standards and durability
Following ABNT standards is mandatory and non-negotiable. However, We always strive to go beyond the minimum required. That's why, Each project undergoes rigorous reviews to ensure the lifespan of the piles and pile caps. That way, WGB delivers buildings with high technical performance and absolute structural safety for all residents.
