1. Foundation and Slab Engineering This project used a 5-inch concrete slab placed over a 6-inch compacted gravel base. Key engineering considerations included: 32 MPa concrete with air entrainment Reinforcement placed mid-depth with 4‑10M bars at the perimeter 2% slope toward the overhead door for drainage 8-inch concrete curb wall for structural support and durability… Continue reading Complete Structural Engineering for a 14′ × 24′ Detached Garage in Calgary

Cracks, Curbs, and Concrete: A Deep Dive into Garage Pad Deficiencies
Concrete garage pads are expected to withstand years of vehicle loads, seasonal temperature changes, and daily wear. But when cracks begin to form in the curbs and water pools on the floor, it’s a sign that something went wrong during design or construction. This article explores the structural issues uncovered during a recent inspection of… Continue reading Cracks, Curbs, and Concrete: A Deep Dive into Garage Pad Deficiencies
