AI Technical Summary
The existing methods for replacing load-bearing walls with beams and replacing beams with columns do not address the issues of poor rigidity and easy cracking of precast slabs. This leads to safety hazards such as increased slab deflection, slab surface cracking, and misalignment of slab joints after the walls are demolished. The construction period is long, the disturbance to residents is serious, and there are also problems of high risk and high cost of non-standard renovations.
A new load-bearing beam is formed by using a method of through-and-clamping support beams, pressure injection of structural adhesive, and rebar anchoring in the beam pads. This ensures a reliable connection between the old and new structures. By adopting a construction procedure of first supporting the beams, then installing them, and finally dismantling the walls in sections, settlement is monitored, reducing the amount of wet work and the construction period.
It effectively avoids cracking and uneven settlement of precast slabs, improves structural safety and seismic stability, reduces construction risks and noise pollution, is suitable for dense environments in old urban areas, and achieves safe, economical and efficient renovation results.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of building construction, and in particular to a method for replacing wall beams in the renovation of large-span precast brick-concrete buildings. Background Technology
[0002] Many brick-concrete buildings constructed in my country in the 1980s and 1990s adopted a structure of load-bearing walls and prefabricated hollow slabs. The interior load-bearing walls are dense and the space is narrow and fragmented, which cannot meet the modern demand for large open spaces and transparent use, and urgently needs to be renovated.
[0003] The existing processes for replacing load-bearing walls with beams and replacing beams with columns have significant shortcomings: they have not optimized the stress distribution to address the poor stiffness and cracking characteristics of precast slabs, and after the walls are removed, safety hazards such as increased slab deflection, surface cracking, and misalignment of slab joints are likely to occur; construction is mainly carried out with wet work, which is time-consuming and causes serious disturbance to residents; the structural design is not compatible with the precast slab-brick-concrete system, resulting in poor integration of the old and new structures and insufficient seismic resistance and stability; at the same time, there is a contradiction between the high risks of non-standard renovations and the high cost of standard solutions, making it difficult to balance safety, convenience, and economy. Summary of the Invention
[0004] To address the above issues, this invention proposes a wall and beam replacement method for the renovation of large open-plan precast brick-concrete buildings. This method solves the pain points of renovating old brick-concrete and precast brick-concrete buildings. Traditional brick-concrete buildings have dense load-bearing walls and fragmented spaces, which cannot meet the needs of modern residential, commercial, and office buildings for large, open-plan layouts. This invention enables the renovation of large open-plan layouts without partitions.
[0005] This application proposes a method for replacing wall beams in the renovation of large open-plan precast brick-concrete buildings, including the following steps: Openings are made in the brick walls on both sides of the load-bearing wall, and support beams are installed on them respectively. The support beams are made to fit tightly against the two sides of the load-bearing wall, and bolts are used to pass through the two support beams and tighten them. Install a support system at a predetermined distance on both sides of the load-bearing wall to be demolished; A mold is erected at the bottom of the support beam for concrete pouring to form a beam pad between the support beam and the ground. Glue is then pressure-injected between the support beam and the precast roof slab to form a new load-bearing beam. The load-bearing wall below the supporting beam is dismantled in sections, and the bottom sealing plate of the beam is installed. The new load-bearing beam was leveled, filled, and polished smooth, completing the overall renovation.
[0006] Furthermore, before installing the support beam, the process also includes base treatment, removing the wall surfaces on both sides of the load-bearing wall and the decorative layer of the precast panels, cleaning down to the original structural base layer, and ensuring that the bonding and connection surfaces are clean.
[0007] Furthermore, the installation of the support beam includes setting up lifting points on the roof, hoisting the support beam to the top of the load-bearing wall, and adjusting the level of the support beam.
[0008] Furthermore, the support system is provided on both sides of the load-bearing wall, and the distance between each support system and the load-bearing wall is less than or equal to 1000mm. The load-bearing walls of the upper and lower layers are supported simultaneously.
[0009] Furthermore, the beam pad construction includes removing the wall at the beam pad location, tying reinforcing bars to the original load-bearing wall, reserving a pouring opening 100mm above the bottom of the supporting beam, pouring concrete, and curing for a period of time until the concrete solidifies to the required standard.
[0010] Furthermore, during the pressure injection of adhesive between the supporting beam and the precast roof slab, multiple adhesive injection pipes are embedded along the length of the new load-bearing beam to continuously inject the adhesive from one end to the other and cure it for a certain period of time.
[0011] Furthermore, the curing time of the colloid is greater than or equal to 2 days.
[0012] Furthermore, when dismantling the load-bearing wall below the support beam in sections, it should be done in sections and in small increments, and each section should be sealed off during the dismantling process; first, dismantle the wall 100-200mm below the support beam, then install the bottom sealing plate of the beam and weld it to the support beam; use steel wedges to tighten the gap between the sealing plate and the lower wall, and proceed section by section.
[0013] Furthermore, the load-bearing wall is divided into sections of 1000-2000mm in the width direction.
[0014] Furthermore, after the segmented dismantling, the settlement of the support beams needs to be monitored. Once the settlement value meets the specifications, the support system should be dismantled layer by layer. If the settlement is abnormal, it should be re-measured and reinforced immediately.
[0015] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: For the precast slab-brick-concrete composite system, the through-and-through clamping of the two-sided support beams, the pressure injection of structural adhesive, and the rebar tying of the beam pads ensure a reliable combination of the old and new structures, eliminating the hidden dangers of secondary cracking and uneven settlement of the walls, effectively avoiding problems such as cracking of precast slabs, increased deflection, and misalignment of slab joints, and significantly improving structural safety and seismic stability; the construction process is controllable and settlement can be monitored by first supporting the beams, then installing the beams, and finally dismantling the walls in sections, resulting in low safety risks throughout the process and solving the problems of chaotic load transfer and easy collapse in traditional renovation processes; the use of wall-beam replacement technology greatly reduces the amount of wet work, shortens the construction period, reduces noise and dust pollution, reduces interference to surrounding residents, and is suitable for construction in dense environments in old urban areas; the structure is simple, the materials are standardized, the construction is convenient, and the overall cost is lower, meeting the needs of safe, economical, and efficient renovation of old houses; load-bearing walls can be safely removed to achieve a large open-plan layout, with a transparent and flexible space, suitable for the multi-functional use requirements of modern residences, shops, offices, etc. Attached Figure Description

[0018] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the scope of this application. All other implementations obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of this application. In the various drawings, the same elements are represented by the same or similar reference numerals, and for clarity, the various parts in the drawings are not drawn to scale.
[0019] See Figure 1 This application presents a flowchart illustrating a method for replacing wall beams in the renovation of large open spaces in precast brick-concrete buildings, comprising the following steps: S001. Openings are made in the brick walls on both sides of the load-bearing wall, and support beams are installed on them respectively, so that the support beams are tightly attached to the two sides of the load-bearing wall. Bolts are used to pass through the two support beams and tighten them.
[0020] See Figure 2As shown, specifically, before installing the support beam in step S001, the process includes base treatment, removing the wall surfaces and precast panel decorative layers on both sides of the load-bearing wall, cleaning down to the original structural base layer, and ensuring the bonding and connection surfaces are clean. Holes are pre-drilled in the brick wall where the support beam will be installed, and openings are made in the brick walls on both sides of the support beam using a cutting machine, pneumatic hammer, etc., ensuring the openings do not damage the load-bearing wall. Specifically, the installation of the support beam includes setting up lifting points on the roof, hoisting the support beam to the top of the load-bearing wall, and adjusting the support beam to be horizontal. A gantry crane, hoist, jacks, etc., are used to place the support beam at the opening, and the vertical position of the support beam is finely adjusted using jacks at the bottom. Through bolts are used to align and install the support beams on both sides into place. In this embodiment, the support beam is a 32B Q355B channel steel, and the horizontal spacing between adjacent through bolts is 300mm and the vertical spacing is 180mm.
[0021] S002. Install a support system at a predetermined distance on both sides of the load-bearing wall to be demolished.
[0022] See Figure 3 , 4 As shown, specifically, support systems are installed on both sides of the load-bearing wall, with each support system at least 1000mm away from the load-bearing wall. Supports are erected simultaneously on the upper and lower load-bearing walls. The support systems are constructed using Φ48.3×3 steel pipes, with a spacing of 500mm between adjacent pipe supports and a step distance of 500mm. Top supports are used to support the floor slab at the top of the support systems. Vertical scissor bracing is installed throughout, while horizontal scissor bracing is installed at the bottom, middle, and top of the floor. The starting point of each support system is 1000mm away from the load-bearing wall to be demolished.
[0023] S003. Concrete is poured into a mold at the bottom of the support beam to form a beam pad between the support beam and the ground. Glue is then injected under pressure between the support beam and the inner load-bearing wall to form a new load-bearing beam.
[0024] See Figure 5 As shown, specifically, the construction of the beam pad includes removing the wall at the beam pad location, tying steel bars to connect with the original load-bearing wall, reserving a pouring opening 100mm above the bottom of the supporting beam, pouring concrete, and curing for a period of time until the concrete solidifies to the required standard, with the curing period lasting until the test block strength meets C35.
[0025] Specifically, when injecting adhesive under pressure between the supporting beam and the precast roof slab, multiple injection pipes are embedded along the length of the new load-bearing beam. The adhesive is continuously injected from one end to the other, with the pressure controlled below 200 kg. The adhesive is prepared according to the specified ratio and stirred at low speed. During injection, injection must be done from one end to the other, and skipping or leaking is strictly prohibited. After filling, the injection port is sealed, and the adhesive is cured for a certain period of time. Specifically, the curing time of the adhesive is greater than or equal to 2 days. S004. The load-bearing wall below the supporting beam is dismantled in sections, and the beam bottom sealing plate is installed.
[0026] Specifically, when dismantling the load-bearing wall below the supporting beam in sections, it should be done in small, segmented steps, with each segment sealed off during the dismantling process. First, dismantle the wall 100-200mm below the supporting beam, then install the beam bottom sealing plate and weld it to the supporting beam. Use steel wedges to tighten the gap between the sealing plate and the lower wall, proceeding segment by segment. Specifically, the load-bearing wall should be divided into segments of 1000-2000mm in width. After the wall openings are dismantled in sections, gradually remove the steel wedges, and monitor the settlement of the supporting beam. Once the settlement value meets the specifications, dismantle the supporting system layer by layer. If abnormal settlement is detected, immediately re-measure and reinforce the structure.
[0027] S005. The new load-bearing beam is leveled, filled, and polished to a smooth finish, completing the overall renovation.
[0028] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: For the precast slab-brick-concrete composite system, the two-sided support beams are clamped together, structural adhesive is pressure-injected, and the beam pads are reinforced with rebar. The combination of the old and new structures is reliable, eliminating the hidden dangers of secondary cracking and uneven settlement of the wall, effectively avoiding problems such as cracking of precast slabs, increased deflection, and misalignment of slab joints, and significantly improving structural safety and seismic stability. First, support is installed, then beams are installed, and then walls are demolished in sections. The construction process is controllable, settlement can be monitored, and the safety risks are low throughout the process. This solves the problems of chaotic load transfer and easy collapse in traditional renovation processes. The wall-beam replacement process significantly reduces the amount of wet work, has a short construction period, and produces less noise and dust pollution, reducing interference to surrounding residents and making it suitable for construction in dense environments in old urban areas. With its simple structure, standardized materials, and convenient construction, it offers lower overall costs and meets the needs for safe, economical, and efficient renovation of old houses. Load-bearing walls can be safely removed to create a large open-plan layout, making the space transparent and flexible, and suitable for modern residential, commercial, and office use requirements.
