Applications of the technical building code with ceramic Klinker paving techniques

Drafting Interempresas27/08/2008
Hispalyt, Spanish Association of manufacturers of bricks and tiles from clay cooked, made a presentation on the advantages of Klinker pavers in building pavements.

Technical essential characteristics of the ceramic Klinker:

-Ice/thaw resistance.

-Resistance to transverse rupture.

-Abrasion resistance.

-Slip/skidding resistance.

-Fire behavior.

-Thermal conductivity.

-Emission of asbestos and formaldehyde.

-Resistance to acids.

Advantages

The advantages of pavements with ceramic paving tiles applied to the technical building code (CTE) there are several, among them is the durability and permanence of the color: the ceramic paving remained unchanged in time its wide range of colors, consists of several expressive possibilities with a wide range of colors and multiple combinations in plant. Concerning the physical qualities well resists Frost and other aggressive agents, not deform with high temperatures of the summer, etc. One of the most important advantages is that there is the possibility of lifting the pavers without causing deterioration in flexible pavements, i.e. return to reuse, this gives a big cost savings, it is therefore well suited for places, sidewalks, patios, etc. where further work occur in the basement. It is also appropriate for areas with high volatility, where has to make any correction of regularity of surface due to localized seats, once completed the repairs of the pavement, it is not appreciated. As for its useful life, it is more than 30 years, so it beats other pavements.

Fields of application of the ceramic paving

Sidewalks

Walks

Public squares

Gardens

Access to housing

Inner and outer courtyards of buildings

Urban roads

Crossings

Bus terminals

Residential areas

Protection of embankments

Buildings (on slabs and flat roofs)

Tracks of bicycles (and bike lanes)

The pavements of Klinker pavers used on urban roads are currently one of the best alternatives. Its advantages over other pavements are various, as the ease of implementation, the possibility of reuse and Permanent signage for pedestrian crossing and one extends configuration in the design of surfaces.

Maintenance

The maintenance is very low and lasts for several decades. The tasks of conservation are limited to the filling of joints with sand of sealed from time to time. However, during the exhibition and life gives rise to possible appearances of dirt and stains, such as: waste and spots of mortar, tar, asphalt emulsions, oxide of iron, clay, smoke, painting chewing gum stains, oil, fungi and MOSSshot tyre, etc.

In the cleaning process, provided the use of a chemical, it must be washed thoroughly with clean water before and after the treatment, as well as channeling the dirty water in such a way that does not reach other parts of the work. Using an incorrect technique for the disposal of any type of stain can cause permanent damage.

Steps in the procedure of opening and rehabilitation of pavement

1 Remove the maximum amount of sand of joints, using a palette or other appropriate tool.

2 Lift the first ceramic paving tiles using appropriate levers.

3. The remaining ceramic paving stones are erected with minor problems (no project), using a pata digging or other suitable tool until the lifting of all the surface needed to perform repair of underground operations.

4. Cleaning brush of wires of the ceramic paving stones raised and stacking alongside the ditch for their subsequent relocation.

5. Excavation of the following layers and repair, maintenance or installation of the corresponding urban services.

6 Replacement and compaction, if necessary, of the lower layers of the firm, and extension and leveling of the layer of sand of the ceramics cobblestone,

7. Relocation of the ceramic paving stones, previously collected and cleaned, adjusted with a rubber hammer.

8. Filling of joints compacted.
