  1. 8 https://besten.in/ Steps to Mitigate Cracks

  2. Subgrade Design subgrade per project requirements Geotechnical soil analysis is mandatory PMC ensures proper subgrade establishment Contractors follow subgrade guidelines Subgrade stability is critical

  3. Concrete Mix Use a high-performance concrete mix Low water-cement ratio needed Specify industrial-appropriate concrete mix Admixtures improve workability and setting Increase freeze-thaw cycle resistance

  4. Control Joints Strategic joints prevent uncontrolled cracks Correct spacing for joint effectiveness Proper depth for joint effectiveness Type of joint matters Control joints limit crack formation

  5. Curing Ensure full hydration of concrete Uniform strength through proper curing Maintain moist curing environment Ponding helps in curing Adequate curing prevents cracks

  6. Reinforcement Use steel-reinforced concrete Fibre-reinforced concrete preferred Improve concrete tensile strength Reduces floor cracking risks Reinforcement enhances durability

  7. Load Distribution Plan load distribution carefully Minimize stress concentration points Evenly distribute structural loads Avoid stress at one location Proper load management essential

  8. Temperature Maintenance Maintain consistent temperature Avoid temperature fluctuations Temperature stability prevents cracks Monitor and control temperature Consistent conditions essential

  9. Surface Sealant Apply surface sealant to floors Prevent moisture ingress effectively Sealant increases floor durability Periodic resealing may be necessary Regular maintenance recommended
