Optimization of Solid Slabs
Value engineering seeks maximum structural efficiency at the lowest possible cost. Therefore, reducing the weight of reinforcement in solid slabs is a key competitive advantage. Furthermore, this practice ensures sustainability and speed in the construction of large warehouses. Optimize steel consumption This doesn't mean reducing safety, but rather applying technology to structural calculations.
The application of the NBR 6118 standard.
First and foremost, any structural intervention must strictly respect the NBR 6118. Therefore, our calculations follow the serviceability and deformation limit states established by the standard. In this way, we guarantee that the structure can withstand the operating loads of the warehouses without wasting materials. Consequently, the design gains lightness without losing the necessary strength.
Steel Reduction Strategies
In warehouse projects, optimization begins with load analysis. For example, we use finite element software to identify stress relief points. However, it is essential to consider the stiffness of the connections between beams and columns. Furthermore, reviewing the nominal concrete cover according to the environmental aggressiveness class allows for a more precise distribution of the reinforcement bars. This avoids the oversizing common in traditional designs.
Regional Case Study
We frequently work on complex projects that demand precision. A key technical benchmark is our close relationship with the... BR-470 Logistics Complex, In a context where the demand for high-performance warehouses is constant, value engineering allows for large spans to be achieved with optimized reinforcement. Therefore, the volume of concrete and steel is drastically reduced, making the client's investment viable.
Benefits of Value Engineering
With the goal of increasing project profitability, WGB focuses on construction details. On the other hand, reducing the steel ratio facilitates the assembly of the reinforcement on the construction site. This accelerates the schedule, as fewer bars mean less time spent tying them together. Furthermore, the management of supplies becomes more predictable, avoiding excessive surpluses. Finally, the client delivers a building with a superior cost-benefit ratio compared to the market.
