Stability calculations
EDM Services has years of experience in stability calculations for steel and concrete. Rely on us for small to medium-sized structures in both residential and industrial construction projects.
For each project, the study is conducted in consultation with the client and/or architect. We always strive to find the best possible solution as quickly as possible.
Certain components can be developed according to the client’s request.
-
-
-
-
- Sizing of floor slabs, beams, and columns (in both concrete and steel)
- Reinforcement schedule (quantity, diameter, location, and length of reinforcement)
- Review of predefined profiles or hollow core slabs

The importance of structural stability calculations
A structural stability calculation strikes the right balance between safety and cost. Naturally, the building must be solid and free from the risk of cracks and fissures caused by settlement. However, this can lead to excessive use of reinforcement in the foundation, resulting in unnecessary costs.
In residential construction, a stability calculation is generally limited, unless the house is built on soil with low bearing capacity. For larger buildings, such as industrial properties or apartment buildings, a stability calculation with soil investigation is essential.
This assessment of the soil bearing capacity on the construction site contributes to the design, construction, and durability of the building. The study provides the engineer-architect with precise information on how strong the foundation needs to be. During construction, it is taken into account for the shoring of the excavation. A correct foundation significantly reduces the risk of cracks, fissures, and other defects.
Every client naturally wants to use resources and building materials economically to keep the project costs as low as possible. The foundation piles must be long enough, but not longer than necessary. The correct dimensions of the foundation soles and the required amount of reinforcement in the foundation piles can also be accurately estimated after a stability calculation.
EDM Services allows you to build cost-effectively and safely.
