Factors affecting the operation of the floor of industrial buildings

Abstract

In recent years, a high rate of construction of industrial facilities, located not only outside the city limits, but also in the conditions of urban development, in most cases on the outskirts of cities, has been observed. Such buildings include: production, transport, logistics or warehouse complexes. The latter, moreover, play a rather important role in the life cycle of any city.
 For the reliable and efficient operation of such structures, in addition to ensuring the requirements for their strength, reliability and durability, which are put forward to the supporting and enclosing structures, it is also necessary to ensure the long-term, trouble-free and safe operation of floors subjected to various influences.
 In recent years, the use of industrial concrete floors, which can be found quite often not only in industrial buildings, but also in places with a high traffic load, for example, floors in warehouses or factories, sales halls, hangars, airports, railway stations, stations, is gaining relevance maintenance, laboratories, which is explained by their high technical and economic indicators, as well as their resistance to the load from equipment and transport, the fall of heavy objects, thermal, vibration, chemical, temperature effects and abrasion.
 In addition, industrial floors should be characterized by high strength, wear resistance, a long service life, maintainability, unpretentiousness in care.
 However, along with this, there are also negative factors regarding the use of concrete industrial floors. Thus, due to the presence of a porous structure, the concrete floor covering is prone to destruction during operation. This leads to the formation of dust, which can rise into the air and fall into respiratory organs. Also, concrete floors are not resistant to chemical solutions that affect resistant to chemical solutions that affect the formation of cracks. Of course, there are methods of combating these negative factors, such as wet cleaning or using a special topping.
