METHOD OF REINFORCEMENT OF EXISTING METAL CONSTRUCTION Russian patent published in 2007 - IPC B63B9/00 F16S1/00 

FIELD: repair technologies; shipbuilding.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to ship repair technologies. According to proposed method of reinforcement of panel of metal construction, reinforcement metal layer is welded to panel with formation of space in between for at least one space between inner surfaces of panel and reinforcement metal layer; intermediate layer, consisting of nonvulcanized plastic material having thickness not less than 10 mm, is forced into at least one space; said plastic material is solidified to provide adhesion with inner surface of panel and reinforcement metal layer with force sufficient for transmission of shifting loads between panel and reinforcement metal layer. Said panel is held by girders, cross-bars and beams. Reinforcement metal layer is arranged so that girders, cross-bars or beams are located between panel and reinforcement metal layer. Panel reinforced by proposed method can be ship panel.

EFFECT: simplified technology of reinforcement of metal panels, including ship panels.
