ARRANGEMENT STRENGTHENING STONE WALLS OF BUILDINGS Russian patent published in 2003 - IPC

FIELD: construction industry, reconstruction of stone walls of buildings in case of partial or complete liquidation of cracks formed in them by way of artificial redistribution of efforts. SUBSTANCE: arrangement includes columns transmitting loads from floor by means of rests with slits anchored on them to sagging tension bars which are fixed in bearing units of strut frames and are fitted with bridle of any known design. Rests are anchored on columns in points corresponding to ordinates of curve of natural sagging of tension bars that passes through bearing units of strut frames and showing sag ensuring required effort that closes cracks in reconstructed stone wall. Tension bars are placed in sluts of rests. Rests do not allow tension bars to be moved upwards under preliminary tension. Thus columns, tension bars and strut frames form suspended combined system which operation introduces changes in work of elements of building. EFFECT: raised carrying capacity of reconstructed stone walls of building, reduced labor input to reconstruction of building. 2 dwg
