Zur Vermeidung von Rissen des neuen Bauwerkes ist dieses in den üblichen Abständen abzufugen. Eine besonders sorgfältige Ausbildung der Fugen ist dort wesentlich, wo unterschiedlich belastete Bauwerksteile aneinandergrenzen.

to place concrete joints
or maybe: to place constructive joints
In order to ensure that the concrete is properly put into place and that it lives up to its durable characterization, many factors must be considered. One of the most important is ensuring that proper concrete joints are installed to allow for proper installation of the concrete and for movement over time. :
http://www.concreteideas.com/types-of-concrete-joints
Joint design—Joints are used in slab-on-ground
construction to limit the frequency and width of random cracks
caused by volume changes and to reduce the magnitude of slab
curling. Generally, if limiting the number of joints by
increasing the joint spacing can be accomplished without
increasing the number of random cracks, floor maintenance
will be reduced. The layout of joints and joint details should be
provided by the designer. If the joint layout is not provided, the
contractor should submit a detailed joint layout and placing
sequence for approval of the designer before proceeding:

grouting/ application of grout
abfugen=verfugen
http://www.proz.com/kudoz/german_to_italian/tech_engineering...
Grout is another name for a paste or mortar that is used in building construction to fill spaces, gaps or crevices that occur between areas of building materials. Walls constructed of wood joints or brick and floors consisting of ceramic tiles are common areas where grout is applied

: Cracks (in concr.) are grouted as remedial measure, but this is about preventing them (Vermeidung) in a new structure by designing in joints at suitable intervals (Abständen), as expl. by Coqueiro. "Ausbildung der Fugen" in 2nd sentence underlines this

to form joints
nothing in the source text explicitly says that the joints are to be grouted - they might be filled with a a variety of jointing compounds

I agree with Raymond Peat they are likely to be cpnstruction expansion joints. However the verb abfugen is not that explicit
