Causes and preventive measures of cracks in emery wear-resistant floor 2
1. Analysis of the causes of cracks The emergence of cracks in the emery wear-resistant floor during use not only affects its aesthetics, but may also reduce its service life. The causes of cracks mainly include the following points: ♦ Material quality issues:If the quality of the emery wear-resistant material used is not up to standard, contains impurities or does not meet the design requirements, it will cause the floor to crack during use. ♦ Improper construction technology:If the laying, compaction, and maintenance steps during the construction process are not standardized or are not carried out in accordance with the construction requirements, it may also cause the floor to crack. ♦ Effect of temperature stress:Due to temperature changes, especially the large temperature difference between winter and summer, the floor material will expand due to thermal expansion and contraction, resulting in stress. When the stress exceeds the tolerance range of the material, cracks will appear. ♦ Ground foundation problems:If the ground foundation is not handled properly, such as insufficient ground flatness, insufficient foundation strength, etc., it will affect the construction quality of the emery wear-resistant floor, which will lead to the occurrence of cracks. 2. Overview of preventive measures In view of the above causes of cracks, in order to ensure the quality and service life of the emery wear-resistant floor, the following preventive measures should be taken: ♦ Material selection and inspection:Select emery wear-resistant materials with stable quality and reliable performance, and conduct material quality inspection before construction to ensure that they meet the design requirements. ♦ Construction process control:Carry out construction in strict accordance with the construction requirements to ensure that every step meets the specification requirements, especially key steps such as laying, compaction, and maintenance. ♦ Temperature control and management:During the construction process, pay attention to temperature changes, especially in seasons with large temperature differences, and take corresponding measures, such as using temperature control equipment, to reduce the impact of temperature stress on the floor. In summary, in order to ensure the quality of emery wear-resistant flooring, comprehensive measures should be taken from the aspects of material selection, construction technology, temperature control, etc. to prevent the occurrence of cracks.

Super Flat Floor Joint Design and Construction Equipment Coordination Plan
The design and construction of super flat floors is a systematic engineering project, with the core objective of meeting the requirements for high-speed and stable operation of very narrow aisle (VNA) forklifts in extremely narrow aisles. The coordination of joint design and construction equipment directly determines the final floor flatness (F-numbers) and long-term durability. The following is a professional plan for super flat floor joint design and equipment coordination: Ultra-flat floor slabs typically follow the principle of "large slab spans and fewer joints" to reduce the impact of forklift wheels on the joints. Load Transfer Bar Design: Square load transfer bars or armored joints must be used. Armored joints consist of two cold-drawn flat steel bars, which effectively protect the concrete edges from being crushed by the hard wheels of forklifts. Placement: Avoid placing joints in the main forklift traffic areas as much as possible. In VNA (Very Narrow Aisle) areas, construction joints should be parallel to the aisles and ideally located under the racking rather than in the center of the aisle. Timing of cutting the joints: The joints should be cut after the concrete has initially set and reached a strength of 5-10 MPa, usually 6-12 hours after pouring. Spacing control: It is recommended to keep the spacing within 6m x 6m to prevent the formation of irregular, random cracks. The joints must be filled with **high-hardness polyurea** or semi-rigid epoxy resin to support the edges of the joint. The filler should slightly overflow during application, and after curing, the excess should be trimmed flush with a blade to ensure the joint is perfectly level with the floor surface. Achieving a super-flat floor relies not only on manual work but also on high-precision automated equipment. This is the core of super-flat floor construction. Equipment Selection: A telescopic-arm laser leveling machine with automatic leveling function is used. Coordination Key Points: The laser transmitter should be installed at a high location unaffected by vibrations. The leveling machine automatically adjusts the height of the leveling head at a frequency of 10 times per second to ensure the accuracy of the initial floor elevation. In some special tunnels requiring a flatness level of F min, the laser leveling process still needs to be supplemented with a side form guide rail system. Process: Precision channel steel or I-beams are used as guide rails, combined with manual verification using a Leveling bar, to ensure extremely high accuracy in both the transverse and longitudinal directions. Double-drive ride-on power trowel: Used for large-area concrete finishing and compaction. Recommended procedure: Must be used in conjunction with a **long-handled straightedge** for repeated leveling. After each pass with the power trowel, use a 3-4 meter long straightedge to level the surface in both longitudinal and transverse directions, eliminating any waves left by the trowel. Stages Core Equipment Key points for implementation Spreading and leveling Laser leveling machine + laser control system Ensure continuous material supply to prevent machine stoppages that could cause indentations. Initial leveling Long-handled aluminum-magnesium alloy Leveling (Check Rod) Before the concrete begins to set, manually smooth out any minor unevenness left by the leveling machine through repeated scraping. Grouting and finishing Ride-on power trowel + floating disc Strictly control the finishing time, adjusting the blade angle according to the concrete's hardening degree. Joint treatment Automatic self-propelled concrete saw + polyurea joint filling machine The cutting depth is typically 1/3 to 1/4 of the slab thickness. After construction is complete, the floor must be inspected using a professional **floor flatness testing instrument (such as Dipstick or FloorPro)**. FF (Floor Flatness): Reflects the flatness of the floor (small-scale undulations). FL (Floor Levelness): Reflects the levelness of the floor (large-scale inclination). Key reminder: The success of a super-flat floor depends 50% on equipment precision and 50% on controlling the concrete mix design (slump variation needs to be controlled within ± 20 mm). Note: The parameters provided in this document are for reference only and are not mandatory. Due to differences in technical characteristics between different brands and models of laser levelers, please consult the manufacturer for a suitable solution before actual operation. This reference document assumes no responsibility for any issues arising from failure to follow the manufacturer's instructions.

When there are bubbles on the concrete surface, how should the operating parameters of the trowel be adjusted?
Appropriately increase the number of trowel passes of the trowel machine, so that the blade squeezes and presses the concrete surface multiple times, which helps to further squeeze out the bubbles inside the concrete and make the concrete surface more compact and smooth. However, attention should be paid to the time interval between each trowel. It is not advisable to perform the next trowel before the concrete reaches a certain strength, so as not to damage the concrete structure. Generally speaking, it is more appropriate to perform 2-3 trowels after the initial setting of the concrete and before the final setting. The pressure of the trowel machine on the concrete surface can be appropriately reduced. If the pressure of the trowel machine is too high, a harder "shell" will form on the concrete surface, which is not conducive to the discharge of bubbles, but may seal the bubbles inside the concrete. By adjusting the counterweight or hydraulic system of the trowel machine, the trowel machine can apply a more appropriate pressure to the concrete surface during operation, so that bubbles can escape the surface more easily. The specific pressure adjustment value needs to be tested and explored according to the state of the concrete and the situation of bubbles. In the process of adjusting the operating parameters of the trowel machine, it is necessary to closely observe the changes on the concrete surface and make fine adjustments to the parameters in time according to the actual effect to achieve the best trowel effect and eliminate bubbles on the concrete surface. At the same time, it is also possible to combine measures such as optimizing the concrete mix ratio and improving the pouring process to fundamentally reduce the generation of bubbles on the concrete surface.
