Structural optimization with ribbed slabs
Ribbed slabs represent an advanced technical solution for spanning large distances. Furthermore, this type of slab drastically reduces the structure's self-weight. In this way, we can significantly decrease the consumption of reinforced concrete. However, it is essential to execute the design with absolute precision.
Compliance with NBR 6118
The structural design must strictly follow the NBR 6118. Therefore, calculating bending moments and shear forces requires mathematical precision. For example, the arrangement of ribs needs to consider the necessary stiffness to avoid excessive vibrations. Consequently, the conscious use of materials optimizes the final cost of the project.
Prevention of pathologies and corrosion
A well-designed structure prevents premature failures. On the other hand, a lack of adequate concrete cover generates serious pathologies. Thus, corrosion of the reinforcement occurs when the concrete has low quality or high porosity. For example, let's consider the complexity of the foundations required in construction projects near... South Barra Pier, In areas where sea air requires extra protection against aggressive agents, waterproofing the ribs protects the integrity of the steel against oxidation. Therefore, the use of chemical additives increases the durability of the structural element.
Advantages of load reduction
Reducing the volume of concrete eases the loads on beams and columns. Furthermore, this reduction simplifies the building's foundation. Therefore, the cost of the infrastructure also decreases significantly. However, assembling the formwork requires skilled labor. In this way, we guarantee that each rib withstands the calculated loads predicted by the engineer.
Performance and longevity
Modern engineering prioritizes sustainability. With the goal of reducing waste, the use of ribbed slabs stands out. For example, the reduction in self-weight allows for more slender columns. Consequently, we gain usable space in the architectural plan. However, verification of the anchorage of the bars is mandatory to prevent cracking. Therefore, we follow all structural performance parameters to ensure the total safety of the users.
