HENGELHOEF CONCRETE JOINTS A new era in industrial flooring technology HC Sinus Slide® joints for lasting repairs in industrial floors Damaged joints in floors are a real nightmare for every warehouse and facility manager. It is a source of continuous frustration and annoyance for owners and users of logistic buildings and warehouses. When damage becomes evident associated with a joint there will be an irreversible spiral of damage that becomes worse, worse and worse until the situation is intolerable. Damage is not only evident on the joint and floor but also material handling equipment, transported goods and even the forklift operators will be affected due to the constantly recurring shocks and striking impacts of the wheels. This vicious circle of damage can only be stopped by lasting repairs which neutralise the cause of damage. The cause of damage is the striking impact of the passing wheel of the forklift which will fall in the opening gap of the joint. The solution is to creat

e a situation where wheels are continuously supported and slide, vibration and shock free, from one floor slab to another. This is a feature of the Sinus Slide® joint, which makes them extremely useful for joint repair. The power of the HC-Sinus Slide® joint is that it neutralises the impact of the shocks of the striking wheels, which is the cause of damage. With the HC Sinus Slide joint 100 % shockand vibration free transfers are realised, so future damage is impossible. HCJ have developed 2 kinds of repair solutions which, depending on the extent of the damage are extremely useful.

HC-Sinus Slide® repairs with jointing system In this case the complete joint needs to be replaced or there is no joint at all between the floor slabs. The complete joints needs to be replaced if the joint is from dub

ious quality or there is extensive vertical displacement that a fundamental repair is the only solution. The original joint normally had the following functions. • Free horizontal expansion and contraction of the industrial floor. As the poured concrete dries, the inevitable contraction is taken up by the horizontal spreading of the expansion joint. Once the dilatation process is stabilised the joint only will expand slightly by extreme fluctuating temperature. The existing joint opening is a result of the shrinkage movement of the concrete slabs. The shrinkage of a floor slab is strongly dependent on a number of thermal variables as well as the quality of the concrete. Shrinkage can vary between 0,3 to 0,5 mm/meter. In any case, an attempt must be made to limit the opening of the joints to a maximum of 20 mm. An indication in normal conditions would be floor sections of 30 to 40 metres. However, the advice of a local expert is always recommended because shrinkage can vary consider

ably from country to country due to local environmental factors and concrete quality. Even if shrinkage and cracks are under control there is another problem which can be a source of annoyance, lead to uncomfortable and unsafe work stations and significant costs. That problem is the straight traditional joint opening gap. • Load transfer and the limit of any vertical movement. The construction of the joint ensures the floor slabs are connected and that any vertical movement is limited. This principle enables also to realize the necessary load transfer which gives much better support of the slab and extends its life.

table for use as day joint profile and a help when finishing the floor. Once the shrinkage process is stabilised the only functions of the expansion joints are horizontal movement of the floor slabs in case of extreme fluctuating temperatures, the limitation of any vertical movement, load transfer and edge protection. In case of intense forklift traffic the opening gap of the joints is a source of continuous frustration and will cause huge costs and problems. The HC Sinus Slide® Joint has a sliding capacity which enables smooth load transfers and vibration- and shock free wheel crossings on the joint. You can still see a opening gap but you don’t feel or hear it anymore. Therefore if joint repair is necessary the HC-Sinus Slide® joint is the only lasting and final solution. If Sinus Slide® technology had been chosen at the start of the project no repair would have been necessary as there would be no damage The repair has to be done as follows: Saw-cut the concrete full depth on b

oth sides of the damaged joint on a width of approximately 800 to 1000 mm. Remove carefully the concrete and re-level and recompact the sub-base material.

At least 3 dowels per meter in each concrete slab. 300 mm of the dowel must be fixed in the concrete (ideally with resin anchorage system) and 300 mm must stick out. Apply special primer on all vertical sides of the concrete slab.

Level out the HC Sinus Side® joints down and across. Eventually, we

ld the dowels fixed in the concrete slabs to the anchorage system of the HC Sinus Slide joint or use reinforcing mesh to link dowels and joint connectors.

Finish the floor by polishing. It is recommended to use a HC Sinus Slide® joint with 5 mm foam between the undulated lips to permit a horizontal movement in the two directions in case of extreme fluctuating temperatures. This repaired jointing system with sliding capacity will realise optimal smooth load transfers by 100% shock- and even vibration free wheel crossings. Future damage is almost impossible and unprecedented comfort is achieved. Yearly savings on forklifts wheels maintenance or replacement are substantial. Pagina 6 van 11 Hengelhoefstraat 158 B 3600 G

HC-Sinus Slide® repair joint without jointing system For repairs on elevated slabs the procedure is similar but there is no need for a complete joint as the load transfer will be realised by the pre-stressed hollow core slabs or underlying supporting floor. Also if the connecting jointing system is still in good condition the whole joint doesn’t need to be removed. What is good can stay in the concrete. You only need to remove the damaged surface of concrete and joint. Here t

he specially designed HC-Sinus Slide® repair joint is a sustainable and reliable solution. This repair joint is standard with 5 mm foam between the undulated plates and with a round foam on bottom to separate the filling substance. The repair has to be done as follows: Saw-cut away the concrete on both sides of the joint to a width of approximately 100 to 150 mm and a depth of about 100 mm according to the accessed damage. Apply a special primer on all sides of the concrete slab for good adhesion of filling substance. Drill some holes in the concrete bottom positioned at the same distance as the anchorage of the HC-Sinus Slide® repair joint. Install screwed rod trough the anchorage openings and fix into the drilled holes. Level out the HC Sinus Slide® joints down and across.
