6. Installation Considerations for Terrazzo Concrete Slabs

6.3 Structural Considerations

6.3.2 Gaps in Wall and Cylinder Installations

Issue: Inadequate gaps at the top and bottom during installation on walls and cylinders can lead to structural deformation under pressure, causing the veneer slabs to crack due to vertical stress.

Recommendation: Ensure that construction occurs only after the walls, columns, and load-bearing structures have stabilized post-settlement. When installing the panels, leave appropriate gaps, especially at the top and bottom, to prevent structural compression and potential cracking of the veneer slabs.

6.4 Prevention of Wall Damage and Pollution

Issue: During handling and installation, veneer materials can become contaminated with substances like mortar. If not cleaned promptly, or if the finished product isn't adequately protected post-installation, long-term surface pollution can occur.

Recommendation: Clean any contaminants from the surface of the slabs promptly during installation to prevent prolonged exposure. Additionally, protect the finished surfaces from direct contact with acid-base chemicals, colored liquids, and other potential pollutants to maintain their integrity.

6.5 Considerations for Large Outdoor Veneer Panels

Issue: Large outdoor veneer panels exposed to direct sunlight are susceptible to temperature-induced expansion and contraction, which can lead to veneer detachment or damage.

Recommendation:

Dry Hanging Method: For optimal results, especially in sun-exposed areas, employ the dry hanging method during construction. This technique helps maintain the veneer’s clarity and beauty while preventing detachment due to temperature fluctuations.

Wet Hanging Method: If the traditional wet hanging method is used, incorporate deformation joints—such as split grid methods or open plate seam methods—to accommodate thermal expansion and contraction. This approach helps prevent cracks and detachment of the veneer.

Anti-Alkali Measures: Implement strategies to prevent efflorescence, which can compromise the appearance and durability of the block materials.

7. Quality Records

Ensure the following quality records are maintained:

7.1 Material Certifications

• Obtain factory certificates for materials such as terrazzo concrete slabs, polished granite, prefabricated terrazzo concrete slabs, and other related components.

7.2 Quality Inspection Documentation

• Maintain a comprehensive quality inspection and evaluation form for this sub-project, detailing compliance with specified standards and any deviations observed during the construction process.
