Benefits of technology

The patent describes a way to make reinforced concrete buildings stronger and more stable. By using a special method, the existing buildings can have additional pillars and beams added to them, which will increase their load-bearing capacity. This will make these buildings more durable and less prone to damage or collapse.

Problems solved by technology

It is believed that this safety for all, both new and existing, constructions of reinforced concrete (hereinafter r.c.) is a huge error as it does not take into consideration in a suitable way the structure situation in the dynamic phase thereof determined by the seism.
.; these compressions are not sustainable whatever system is adopted for increasing the resistance, even a strong thickening of the stirrups.

Embodiment Construction

[0034]The present invention will be described in details hereinafter by making reference to the above-mentioned figures. As shown in the abstract, a first subject of the present invention relates to a method for improving considerably the structural stability of an already existing building construction of reinforced concrete (for example buildings, schools, hospitals, bridges, etc.) having one or more pillars 3 and one or more beams 4 insisting on said pillars.

[0035]According to an embodiment a first drilling could be performed in cross direction to the pillar 3 so as to involve the beam 4 insisting on said pillar. For example, a first drilling, a horizontal hole, is performed orthogonally to the face, penetrating the beam 4 preferably for a depth of about 1.5 m. at the central portion of the section of the high beam sustaining the last flooring and another hole at the low beam sustaining the penultimate flooring. Both holes have to cross the pillar and they have to enter the beams...

Abstract

The present invention relates to a method for improving considerably the structural stability of a building construction of already existing reinforced concrete (for example building constructions, schools, hospitals, bridges, etc.).

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]Currently it is believed that with the current seismic rules, which provide even the thickening of the stirrups of the pillars and beams near the nodes, one is sufficiently protected from earthquakes in the new building constructions and above all one takes care of intervening on the existing building constructions, mainly with wrapping, ringing, stiffening systems and other outside the nodes. It is believed that this safety for all, both new and existing, constructions of reinforced concrete (hereinafter r.c.) is a huge error as it does not take into consideration in a suitable way the structure situation in the dynamic phase thereof determined by the seism.[0002]Upon starting and increasing the seismic pushes, and the corresponding oscillations of the construction, the neutral axis starts entering the section and, when there is the tilting on the right of the construction, the left side of the section, is tensioned whereas the one on the right is c...
