Struts TRIZ Cases

Interlocked resilient sheet components form an open-ended core with ribs to replace welding and bolts in structural assemblies.

Segmented polymeric armor blocks interlock to form structures that stop projectiles while minimizing weight and assembly complexity.

Corrosion-resistant steel components wrap concrete members to prolong service life while preventing resource waste from premature demolition.

A dual-mode lug and guide socket structure resolve alignment precision challenges by enabling camming engagement during vertical stacking operations.

A post-tensioning wrap uses a swelling housing to stretch tendons and apply compression to concrete.

Hybrid FRP and steel bars improve post-yield stiffness, reducing displacement response and residual drift during seismic events.

Interlocking flanges on stackable plastic sections prevent grout leakage while reducing form weight and enabling reuse.

Segmented elongated profiles join via mechanical fasteners to eliminate on-site anti-corrosion treatments while maintaining buckling resistance.

A flexible waterproof collar seals the critical decay zone of in-ground wood, preventing microbial decomposition without toxic preservatives.

Ventilated structural panels use spacing elements to attach parallel sheets, creating unobstructed pathways for air flow between layers.

Injecting expanding polymer resin into hollow core block channels enhances structural rigidity and seismic resistance without adding significant weight.

Concealed upstanding arms in a precast concrete column join a wooden post while accommodating inconsistent hole depths via an adjustable jack screw mechanism.

Replacing low-strength rebars with high-tensile steel strands and clip anchors resolves insufficient anti-bending performance in prefabricated pillars.
