The importance and rules of strengthening the supporting structures of the building
The need to strengthen the construction of the building depends on many reasons:
• due to wear during the service life,
• In case of problems due to errors made in the project,
• In the event that the maximum level of the structure of the structure for a particular type of soil was not correctly determined,
• when changing loads during the reconstruction process,
• the need for preventive measures to increase the reliability of the construction and increase its service life.
Types of work to strengthen the supporting structures are divided into two groups:
1. Traditional methods consist in an increase in the cross section of the beams due to the device of clips and shirts, as well as the installation of additional reinforcement and replacement of structures. Such technologies are relatively inexpensive, but require significant expenditures of time and physical labor.
2. The invention of artificial carbon fiber and its use in the form of canvases, ribbons and laminates due to external reinforcement allow you to quickly and effectively enhance reinforced concrete, metal, as well as wooden structures. This method allows you to maintain the aesthetic appearance of the structure, which is especially important when carrying out work to strengthen architectural monuments, complex hydraulic and transport structures.
