PLANNING, DIMENSIONING AND TECHNICAL EVALUATION OF CONCRETE INDUSTRIAL FLOORS

Professional design and technical evaluation of concrete industrial floors are key issues from the point of view of its users. The quality of an industrial floor has a very large impact on the production process and the method of storing materials, and its durability should ensure uninterrupted operation for at least 25 years. It is estimated that the share of expenses incurred for the construction of a failure-free industrial floor is 20% of the total costs associated with the construction of an industrial hall. A defective floor is not only repair costs, but also work stoppages. That is why proper planning, design, dimensioning and technical evaluation of concrete industrial floors are so important. These issues are comprehensively discussed in this publication.

• Historical outline of the development of industrial surfaces
• Applicable regulations and standards
• Interactions and loads of industrial floors
• Dimensioning of floors
• Most common causes and symptoms of damage to industrial floors and methods of repairing them
• Strengthening of the ground substrate

The third, updated edition of Piotr Hajduk's bestselling book, an experienced engineer with many years of practice, is a compendium of knowledge that combines proven solutions with the latest guidelines. Here you can find current standards and regulations useful in design practice; the chapter on technical evaluation of industrial floors has been expanded with practical tips on their repair; basic principles of designing industrial floors based on piles have been introduced (which is particularly important in areas with poor geotechnical parameters); the chapters describing the strengthening of the ground substrate have been expanded; information on new technologies has also been presented and extensive practical material has been included.

The book "Planning, dimensioning and technical evaluation of concrete industrial floors" is an indispensable source of knowledge for construction students, lecturers, designers and engineers wishing to expand their knowledge of the latest European standards and practical solutions. This publication is a comprehensive study of issues related to the design, execution and technical evaluation of concrete industrial floors, taking into account both theoretical and practical aspects. As a result, the reader receives a solid basis for making informed decisions at every stage of the investment.

The book also discusses the latest technologies and materials used in the construction of industrial floors, which allows you to familiarize yourself with innovative solutions and their impact on the durability and functionality of floors. In addition, the publication contains numerous practical examples and case studies that illustrate the discussed issues and facilitate understanding of complex processes. It is an invaluable help for all people involved in the design and implementation of industrial facilities.

The author, Piotr Hajduk, is an experienced engineer with many years of practice in the field of industrial construction. His knowledge and experience guarantee a high substantive level of the publication and its practical application in the daily work of a civil engineer. This book is not only a source of knowledge, but also an inspiration to look for new solutions and improve your professional skills.
