Testing of Ancient Structures: Safety and Precision

Testing of Ancient Structures: Safety and Precision

Accurate Diagnosis in Structures

The restoration of old buildings demands absolute technical precision. Therefore, Therefore, evaluating the strength of concrete is an indispensable step. That way, We use the rebound hammer as our primary tool. Furthermore, This equipment provides quick data on surface hardness. However, Superficial, isolated results are not sufficient for a complete structural analysis.

The Accuracy of Sclerometry

The sclerometry test evaluates rebound energy at specific points. For example, Upon analyzing the concrete of the historic Matriz Church in Jaraguá do Sul, we identified the need for rigorous calibration. On the other hand, The use of modern formwork and shoring ensures that the structure does not undergo deformation during interventions. Consequently, We maintain historical integrity while applying cutting-edge technology.

Extraction of Test Specimens

With the objective of To validate the data obtained, the extraction of testimonies (evidence) is mandatory. Like this, We perform technical drilling for axial compression testing in the laboratory. Therefore, We compared the results obtained with the assumptions of NBR 7584, which governs the determination of surface hardness using a sclerometer. Indeed, This correlation minimizes considerable margins of error.

Integration with Modern Engineering

What is more, The analysis of old reinforced concrete requires specialized metal shoring reinforcement. In that regard, WGB Arquitetura e Engenharia combines non-destructive diagnostics with high-precision structural support. Therefore, We guarantee that each load is redistributed correctly during the extraction process. Undeniably, Modular formwork technology provides the necessary support to prevent unwanted cracking.

Safety and Planning

In short, The combination of empirical and laboratory methods raises the safety standard. In this way, The old structure regains its functionality with full technical compliance. Furthermore, Planning each step avoids unnecessary interruptions on the construction site. Finally, Our team's technical expertise transforms the challenge of restoration into a high-performance project.
