The technical challenge of large span slabs
Large concrete slabs require strict temperature control during the concrete curing process. Therefore, Thermal variation is the main cause of severe structural pathologies. Furthermore, The slow dissipation of hydration heat generates dangerous internal stresses. That way, Concrete tends to crack if it does not receive proper treatment.
Legal risks and pathologies
Cracks caused by thermal shrinkage compromise the integrity of the structure. Consequently, They pave the way for corrosion of the reinforcement bars. For this reason, WGB Engenharia focuses on mitigating losses and providing legal protection for property owners. Logo, A preventative technical analysis avoids future litigation regarding the quality of the work.
Regulatory compliance and safety
Technical rigor is essential to avoid serious errors. For example, We meticulously follow the guidelines of NBR 6118 for controlling cracking in concrete structures. Furthermore, However, planning for concrete requires careful consideration of the local climate. For example, In the Serra Dona Francisca region, the abrupt temperature variations demand extra care when spreading the dough.
The importance of the technical report.
A well-executed crack analysis acts as a legal shield. That is, This proves that the project followed good engineering practices. In that regard, We offer specialized support to diagnose whether the origin of the pathology is thermal or structural. Therefore, Having a documented record of concrete curing is vital for any technical assessment.
Damage mitigation and durability
Thermal monitoring is key to the longevity of the slab. Therefore, We use cutting-edge technologies to control the internal thermal gradient. Furthermore, Moist curing must be uninterrupted after concreting. That way, We drastically reduced the risk of microcracks opening up and expanding over time.
