A NEW LATTICE TYPE FOR STRENGTHENING STRUCTURES.

Abstract

This invention relates to the more effective strengthening of existing or planned structures—whether made of reinforced concrete, masonry, prefabricated materials, steel, etc.—against loads such as earthquakes and wind, using a new type of lattice structure.

Description

1 TARIFF A NEW LATTICE TYPE FOR STRENGTHENING STRUCTURES. Subject of the Invention This invention applies to existing concrete, masonry, prefabricated, steel, etc. structures. structures or structures to be constructed, a new type of lattice more effective against loads such as earthquakes and wind. It is related to strengthening. State of the Art Earthquakes are unpredictable natural events, especially with serious loss of life and property when its intensity or duration increases This can result in 15 consequences. Therefore, the 15 that an earthquake can create... Minimizing problems is the current state of the construction industry. It is the number one priority. In this context, recently One of the most common solutions implemented is both existing in buildings and in buildings to be constructed, of buildings steel cages are used for reinforcement. 20 This steel is used for earthquake resistance reinforcement. The cages are arranged in different ways to withstand earthquakes. Efforts have been made to increase the resistance of structures. An example is... KR20010026720 is a patent application, and this application concerns type K 25. The steel frame system is described. In this system, one floor Two steel elements emerging from the midpoint of the column, facing each other. two perpendiculars are attached to the column, one to the upper beam and the other to the lower beam. by assembling the columns to form a triangle Additional support has been provided to the beams. 30 on opposing columns. In this system, steel frame elements are formed with columns. because they extend to the beams as if forming the letter K together The system is referred to as a K-type steel cage. 2 Another example is patent application KR20010094224 A. from the corners where the columns and beams meet, like a diagonal extending to the furthest corner and midway between them Two steel reinforcement elements meet in such a way as to form an X. It is attached to columns and beams in the shape of the letter 5. Therefore, 5 The steel reinforcement element is called an X-type reinforcement element. It was given and is used today in strengthening structures. It has become one of the types of steel safes. In addition to these patent applications, there are also sub-10 patents called V-type patents. extending from the beam to the points where the upper beam intersects with the columns a cage characterized by being reinforced with two steel elements Types are available. These include inverted V-type and knee-type steel cages. This technique forms other known types of steel cages. All these cages help buildings shake less during earthquakes, reaching 15. These are systems designed to minimize damage. Traditional V, K and X type steels are used during reinforcements. Cages provide reinforcement to buildings while also being effective against earthquakes. During this process, the flexibility of the structures increases significantly by 20%. It reduces the traditional cages. The invention in question is the one that reduces the traditional cages. having rigidity but also flexibility Cage systems have been developed. Thanks to this, earthquake by absorbing its energy, structures are less affected. has been provided. 25 Detailed Description of the Invention The invention relates to earthquake and wind strengthening of buildings. etc. It relates to a new type of cage that is more resistant to loads. 30 Accordingly, the invention consists of 3 different lattices as shown in Figure 1. It contains the type. As shown in Figure-1, the columns (1) and four beams (2) that make an angle with the horizontal between them 3 There are (3) strengthening elements. These strengthening elements At the heart of its elements are shock absorbers and structural flexibility. rectangular (4), circular (5) and which will provide There are (6) ellipse-shaped elements. Reinforcement elements and shock-absorbing elements dimensions and thickness of columns, beams and structure This can be determined through analyses conducted accordingly. Reinforcement elements for structures made of steel, composite, concrete, etc. 10 It consists of various materials. Shock-absorbing elements are made of steel, from flexible materials such as composite and polymeric materials It consists of.
