| Concrete microstructure damages

 …can have many causes. Only by means of a proper diagnosis on the possible causes of microstructure damages in concrete components one can provide an estimation on the future development of the depth dependent micro cracking process, the hereby caused expansions and the development of restraint stresses. This is the basis for the assessment of the serviceability, bearing capacity and the urgency for repair measures.
 
 

Our service:

- identification of partial and major causes for microstructure damages

- determination of the depth dependent microstructure damage extent (ultrasonic investigations)

- determination of the remaining concrete strength (core drilling, rebound-hammer, etc.)

- sampling and organization of frost and frost/thaw tests

- sampling and organization of microscopic investigations

- monitoring: moisture, structure deformations

- computer-aided simulation of moisture profiles for the estimation of the damage potential
