METHOD FOR RECONSTRUCTION OF BUILDING Russian patent published in 1998 - IPC

FIELD: construction engineering. SUBSTANCE: this relates mainly to reconstruction of long buildings with adding more storeys. Reconstruction is effected successively by diving building into sections and doing one section after another. According to method, made in longitudinal walls of building are holes, inserted into these holes are lateral members with thread on their ends, and temporary supports are installed outside building with fixing them in window openings of top storey and fastening with lateral members by means of nuts. Supports are installed simultaneously on two adjacent sections of building, and guide members are mounted over supports. Then, tent is built on guide members above section to be reconstructed. Under protection of tent, old structures are dismantled and new structures are built. After that, tent is moved to following section and procedure is repeated. Tent and all supports are dismantled on completion of reconstruction operations. EFFECT: high efficiency. 3 dwg
