Stabilization of systems without violating the basic static scheme

The methods of stabilizing a given system or structural system depend primarily on the nature of the damage. In principle, the inhibition of rotation processes and the fusion of load cells can be achieved by three methods:

— by introducing reinforcements that do not violate the basic static scheme of the system,
- with an introduction …

Temporary or temporary protection of load-bearing structures

When it comes to temporary or temporary protection of load-bearing structures, so walls, vault, ceilings, arcades and others, then in each case the method of securing should be based on the results of the diagnosis of the technical condition and the static-strength analysis.

Old walls and brick structures, like walls, …

Sequence of execution of foundations and waterproofing, part 2

The drawings show a standard solution for foundations and insulation of the building's ground floor.
Instead of a lean concrete screed between the footings, a reinforced concrete slab based on strip footings is used, falling under the external structural walls.
The sequence of works presented in the figures allows for …

Sequence of execution of foundations and waterproofing

tmp18f2-1In cohesive soils, the foundation lava for small buildings can be poured directly in the excavation, which allows you to avoid time-consuming formwork. Foundation footings are made under all construction walls. Between the benches, a coarse sand ballast is made and covered with fleece.

Above the footings …
