METHOD TO INSTALL SECTIONAL VAULTED CONSTRUCTION Russian patent published in 1995 - IPC

FIELD: civil engineering. SUBSTANCE: adjacent panels 1 are interconnected into erection blocks using hinges, as well as are provided with hinged-type thrusts 5. Panel body has traction cables 4 passed through the panels. The cables has stops against motion installed on their ends. The distance between the stops of a cable corresponds to length of cable 4 when the construction is in design position. Installation of an erection block is carried out using lifting mechanism. In so doing, panels take design positions and are pushed apart under gravity. EFFECT: simplified and fast erection. 2 cl, 4 dwg
