SUPPORT SYSTEM FOR BUILDING STRUCTURE REINFORCEMENT Russian patent published in 2005 - IPC

FIELD: building, particularly reconstruction of building structures and, particularly for reinforcing industrial buildings, as well as roofed structures for water storage, filtration and precipitation, for instance horizontal tanks.

SUBSTANCE: support system includes base, frame made of fixedly secured inclined support members and tie members. At least one pair of bases is arranged from both sides of structure to be reinforced and spaced a distance from it. Lower ends of inclined support members are rigidly connected to the bases. Upper ends thereof are secured one to another and to longitudinal belts on joining units so that pyramid-shaped units are created. Edges of upper pyramid-shaped unit are formed by upper support members, edges of lower pyramid-shaped unit are formed by lower support members. Upper parts of diagonal members extending from lower joining unit are connected to beams located from both sides of wall of the structure to be reinforced. Diagonal members extend along edges of reversed pyramid-shaped unit having apex located on lower joining unit. The beams are pulled together by means of rods. Upper inclined members and diagonal members are connected one to another in central parts thereof.

EFFECT: increased spatial rigidity and strength of the structure.
