A New Resource Efficient Stone Walls Support Structure of a Building

Abstract

A new resource effi cient solution for damaged stone walls support structure of a building is proposed in the article. This design solution is developed in construction fi eld and can be applied for the repair, strengthening and reconstruction of buildings and structures, and more particularly it is can be used to correct sever damages and to ensure the spatial rigidity of stone walls of a building. Stone walls of building are strengthened by beam tensible band containing longitudinal and transverse bars in the form of steel joists and a device for their articulation and tension, which consists of an anchor cleat and att achement screws with tension nuts. The support device is elaborated taking into account spatial rigidity and load-carrying capacity of existing structures without their dismantling. Positive technical results are obtained due to increased operational reliability and walls spatial rigidity.
