    • Foundation and interior house crack inspection - Daniel Dargis, engineer URL


      Inspection of structural irregularities such as cracks in the foundation and interior walls and ceiling, with recommendations weighted according to:

      • Public safety. In this case, the residents;
      • The costs of various renovation options (piles, epoxy or urethane crack sealing) and the return on investment (ROI);
      • The age of the house;
      • The property's value;
      • The homeowners' budget and ability to pay;
      • The homeowners' life plans (retirement, relocation to a residence, pension fund);
      • The property's current value and future resale value.

      All of this is done as a building expert, with a strong sense of moral, social, and ethical integrity. Here are the problems that concern clients:

      • Foundation cracks;
      • Cracks in the brick;
      • Cracks in the walls and ceiling of the house;
      • Traces of mold.

      There are many points to consider that are not structural elements specifically related to a structural engineer. Daniel Dargis, P.Eng., considers it essential to discuss these points with his clients in order to better advise them, ensuring safety while providing the most economical and sustainable solutions possible.

    • What is the difference between repair rehabilitation and retrofitting URL

      Welcome to the Real Civil YouTube channel. In this video, we are going to explore the differences between repair, rehabilitation, and retrofitting. These terminologies are fundamental in civil engineering, particularly in concrete technology or the repair of concrete structures. Often, these terms can be confusing. Therefore, in this video, we aim to clarify the distinctions. We will outline the variances based on their definitions, applications, examples, and importance.

Repair : Definition : Measures to restore the integrity of structure Example: Patching cracks, filling potholes, replacing damaged components Importance: Repair helps to address immediate issues and prevent further deterioration, extending the lifespan of the structure Rehabilitation Definition : Measures to upgrade the distressed structure for improved performance Examples: Strengthening weak foundations, upgrading outdated systems, enhancing durability Importance: extend the service life of a structure and enhance its performance to meet current standards and needs Retrofitting Definition : Measure to improve resistance to seismic activity or new design standards Example: Adding steel braces to reinforce a building against earthquakes Advantage: Retrofitting enhances the safety, resilience, and sustainability of structures, ensuring they can withstand future challenges functionality of structure

    • Glossaire des pathologies du béton (Français - Anglais)

      Voici un glossaire structuré des principales pathologies du béton avec leur traduction exacte en anglais

      Pathologie en Français Terme exact en Anglais Description / Cause principale
      Alcali-réaction (RAG) Alkali-Silica Reaction (ASR) Réaction chimique interne provoquant un gel expansif et des fissures en réseau ("maladie du béton").
      Carbonatation Carbonation Pénétration du CO₂ réduisant le pH du béton et désactivant la protection des aciers.
      Corrosion des armatures Reinforcement corrosion / Rebar corrosion Rouille des aciers internes suite à la carbonatation ou aux chlorures, entraînant l'éclatement du béton.
      Écaillage / Épaufrure Spalling Détachement de fragments de béton en surface, souvent causé par la poussée de la rouille des aciers.
      Attaque par les sulfates Sulfate attack Réaction chimique liée à des eaux séléniteuses ou à une pollution interne causant un gonflement destructeur.
      Fissures de retrait Shrinkage cracks Fissures dues à l'évaporation rapide de l'eau pendant le séchage (retrait plastique ou hydraulique).
      Fissures de tassement Settlement cracks Fissures provoquées par un affaissement du sol ou du coffrage sous la structure.
      Efflorescence / Lixiviation Efflorescence / Leaching Dépôts blanchâtres de sels (calcite) transportés à la surface par la circulation de l'eau.
      Nids de gravier Honeycombing Manque de mortier autour des granulats dû à une mauvaise vibration ou à une ségrégation lors du coulage.
      Cycles gel-dégel Freeze-thaw cycles Dégradation physique due à l'expansion de l'eau gelée dans les pores du béton
