Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method for reinforcing a wall structure and to a corresponding reinforcement system for a wall structure.
- the present invention is advantageously, but not exclusively, applied in the reinforcement of wall structures of existing buildings with the purpose of meeting the requirements of recent seismic legislation, in particular Circular no. 617 of 2009 issued by the Supreme Council for Public Works ("Consiglio Superiore Lavori Pubblici”) of the Italian Republic, to which the following description will explicitly refer without however losing in generality.
- a masonry building must be conceived and built as a three-dimensional assembly of walls and floors so as to define the so-called "box effect or behaviour of the whole" which should ensure the stability, ductility and robustness of the building.
- the masonry constructions in Italy's current building patrimony are generally characterized by wall structures with poor features, both in terms of conformation and of the quality of the bindings used.
- the wall structures in very old buildings often have a double facing. Indeed, most masonry constructions have poor, or do not even have, transverse connections, so-called “perpenders", in the load bearing walls, have a poor or ineffective scarf between stones or the individual brick elements forming the walls, have poor connections between the orthogonal walls and in the corner joints and have an inadequate connection of the floors to the walls.
- the poor quality of the binding material (mortars) used to bind the stone or brick elements in the construction of stone or combined masonries does not ensure enduring wall monolithicity over time and leads to an inexorable disaggregation of the wall texture.
- the wall structure of existing masonry constructions is often characterized by low resistance to both horizontal and vertical seismic actions.
- the main problems to be resolved are: the lack of connections between orthogonal walls in the so-called angled walls or in the so-called intersection walls; the lack or inadequacy of perpenders in load bearing walls and, therefore, the poor stability for loads; the lack or inadequacy of the scarfs between load bearing walls and floors; the poor resistance to the actions which promote out-of-plane toppling of the wall panels; the poor resistance to the actions parallel to the plane of the wall; and the inadequate distribution of the horizontal and containment forces of the walls by the floors.
- Italian patent application RM99A000736 describes a reinforcement system particularly suitable for reinforcing walls of masonry constructions, the system comprising closed bindings which pass through transverse holes drilled into the walls to be reinforced and drawn holed plates, each of which is arranged at a respective transverse hole for the passage of the closed seams and is adapted to divide the load of the seams over the entire lead-in of the respective transverse hole.
- Such a system is theoretically capable of applying a diffused status of compression over the entire wall, in the horizontal, vertical directions and transversal to the wall, which allows the resistance to the horizontal and vertical seismic actions to be increased.
- EP 1170 440 discloses a method for reinforcing a wall structure, comprising drilling transverse holes into the wall structure and applying a plurality of plates with a cylindrical bar into each hole.
- the object of the present invention is to provide a method for reinforcing an existing wall structure, which is free from the above-described drawbacks and at the same time is easy and affordable to embody and perfectly meets recent seismic legislation.
- Numeral 1 in figures 1 and 2 generically indicates a portion of wall structure as a whole, which comprises two walls 2 and 3 which are connected to each other so as to form an internal corner 4 ( figure 1 ) and a corresponding external corner 5 ( figure 2 ) and comprises two respective beams 6 and 7 arranged on the walls 2 and 3.
- the portion of wall structure 1 shown represents a so-called “angled wall”.
- the elements forming the wall structure 1 are brick blocks, or stones, or a combination of stones and brick blocks.
- An "internal corner” is intended as a corner defined by an angle less than 180° and an “external corner” is intended as a corner defined by an angle greater than 180°.
- the side of the wall structure 1 which comprises the internal corner 4 is the internal side 4a and the side opposite to the wall structure 1, that is the one which comprises the external corner 5, is the external side 5a of the wall structure 1.
- the wall structure 1 shown is reinforced by means of the reinforcement system made according to the invention, the system not being anything more than the implementation of the reinforcement method provided with the present invention.
- the reinforcement system comprises a plurality of plates 8, 9, 10, 11 which are applied onto both sides 4a, 5a of the wall structure 1 at the transverse holes (not shown in figures 1 and 2 ) drilled into the wall structure 1 according to a predetermined arrangement, so that each plate 8-11 on one side of the wall structure 1 is associated, at least at one of the transverse holes, with at least another plate 8-11 on the other side of the wall structure 1.
- the reinforcement system comprises a plurality of threaded cylindrical bars (not shown in figures 1 and 2 ), each of which is inserted into a respective transverse hole to connect each plate 8-11 on one side of the wall structure 1 with the corresponding plate 8-11 on the other side of the wall structure.
- Each plate 8-11 has a plurality of eyelets obtained along an external portion of the same plate ( figures 3 to 6 ).
- Each plate 8-11, on each side of the wall structure 1, is connected with the ones adjacent thereto, that is the closest surrounding ones, by means of respective closed loop bindings 12, each of which passes through an eyelet of such a plate and an eyelet of the related adjacent plate.
- the plates indicated with numeral 8 are standard plates, which are applied onto the surfaces of the walls 2 and 3.
- the plates indicated with numeral 9 are angular plates, which are applied along the corners 4 and 5.
- the plates indicated with numeral 10 are terminal plates, which are applied onto the beams 6 and 7.
- the plates indicated with numeral 11 are connecting plates, which are applied onto the walls 2 and 3 close to the beams 6 and 7 to be bound, each, to at least one adjacent terminal plate 10, to at least one adjacent standard plate 8, to at least one adjacent connecting plate 11 and, if nearby, to one angular plate 9.
- the plates 8-11 are made of stainless or galvanized steel and have a thickness selected from a range between 3 and 5 mm and a larger side between 15 and 25 cm long.
- the bindings 12 consist of closed loop stainless or galvanized steel bands and are preferably less than 1 mm thick.
- Figures 3 to 6 show the plates in greater detail.
- Figure 3 shows a standard plate 8, which is rectangular and has, in middle position, a through hole 13 and, along an external portion, four curved eyelets 14 which are symmetrical with respect to two axes 15a and 15b which are orthogonal to each other at hole 13.
- the standard plate 8 is provided with four U-shaped saddles 16, each of which is inserted into a respective eyelet 14 with the concave side 16a of saddle 16 facing perimeter 17 of plate 8 to be, in use, wound by a related binding 12.
- Figure 7 shows, from the side, a saddle 16 thread into an eyelet 14 with the concave side 16a facing perimeter 17 of plate 8 and the convex side 16b wound by a section of a binding 12.
- the saddles 16 serve for protecting the bindings 12, that is they have the purpose of preventing the bindings 12 from being sheared by the edges 18 of the eyelets 14 when the bindings 12 are placed under tension, and of promoting the sliding of the bindings 12 through the eyelets 14 during the adjustment of the tension of the bindings 12.
- Figure 4 shows an angular plate 9, which is L shaped and comprises two flat portions 19 and 20 which extend, in transversal directions to each other, from one rounded corner 27 of the same angular plate 9 and which have respective through holes 21 and 22 having respective axes substantially transversal to each other.
- the reciprocal orientation between the axes of the holes 19 and 20 depends on the angle of the corners 4 and 5 of the wall structure 1. For example, if the walls 2 and 3 are orthogonal to each other, then the axes of the holes 19 and 20 are orthogonal to each other.
- Each portion 19, 20 has, along an external portion thereof, three curved eyelets 23, 24, two of which are symmetrical with respect to an axis 25a, 26a which is substantially parallel to corner 27, and the third of which is symmetrical with respect to an axis 25b, 26b which is substantially perpendicular to axis 25a, 26a.
- Figure 5 shows a terminal plate 10, which is rectangular and has a through hole 28 and two curved eyelets 29 which are symmetrical with respect to respective axes 30a, 30b thus forming, with a side of the terminal plate 10, respective angles of about 45°, and therefore form a right angle with each other.
- Figure 6 shows a connecting plate 11, which consists of a rectangular portion 31 and of a semicircular portion 32 connected to portion 31 and has, in middle position, a through hole 33.
- the rectangular portion 31 has, along an external portion thereof, three curved eyelets 34, two of which are symmetrical with respect to an axis 35a which is parallel to a side 36 of portion 31 not connected to portion 32, and the third of which is symmetrical with respect to an axis 35b which is perpendicular to side 36.
- Semicircular portion 32 has, along an external portion thereof, two curved eyelets 37 which are symmetrical with respect to respective axes 38a and 38b thus forming, with side 36, respective angles of about 45°, and therefore form a right angle with each other.
- Each of the side eyelets 34 that is the symmetrical ones with respect to the axes 35 which are parallel to side 36, is adapted to be passed through by a respective binding 12 which is closed through a side eyelet 34 of another adjacent connecting plate 11 or an eyelet 23, 24 of an adjacent angular plate 9 ( figure 1 ).
- the lower eyelet 34 that is the symmetrical one with respect to axis 35 which is perpendicular to side 36, is adapted to be passed through by a respective binding 12 which is closed through an eyelet 14 of an adjacent standard plate 8 ( figure 1 ).
- At least one of the eyelets 37 is adapted to be passed through by a respective binding 12 which is closed through an eyelet 29 of a terminal plate 10 ( figures 1 and 2 ).
- each of the plates 9, 10 and 11 is provided with a plurality of saddles 16, each of which is identical to the ones shown in figures 3 and 7 , and is inserted into a respective eyelet 23, 24, 29, 34, 37 in the same way as indicated in figures 3 and 4 and for the same purpose as mentioned for plate 8.
- the reinforcement method provides drilling transverse holes into the wall structure 1, on opposite sides of the internal corner 4 (or of the external corner 5), that is divided among the ones indicated with numeral 39, which are drilled into wall 2, and the ones indicated with numeral 40, which are drilled into wall 3.
- the transverse holes 39 and 40 are through holes, that is they pass through the walls 2 and 3 from one side 4a to the other side 5a of the wall structure 1.
- the transverse holes 39 and 40 have, for example, a diameter selected from a range between 20 and 30 mm and are made by drilling according to a predetermined arrangement which adapts to the particular type of wall structure and to any openings or obstacles in the wall structure 1.
- the transverse holes 39 and 40 in the walls 2 and 3 are made in the knots of a grid with rectangular meshes.
- the transverse holes 39 and 40 are arranged staggered.
- the plates 8 and 9 are applied onto the wall structure 1 at the transverse holes 39 and 40 by using, for example, controlled-shrinkage thixotropic mortar with synthetic fibres, of the type known under the trade name "Excocem FP".
- the standard plates 8 are applied onto the two sides 4a and 5a of the wall structure 1 so that each standard plate 8 on the internal side 4a is associated, at a respective transverse hole 39, 40, with a respective standard plate 8 on the external side 5a and so that hole 13 of each standard plate 8 is substantially coaxial to the related transverse hole 39, 40.
- the angular plates 9 are applied along the internal corner 4, and therefore on the internal side 4a, so that the two holes 19 and 20 of each angular plate 9 are substantially coaxial, the first, to a given transverse hole 39 and, the other one, to a given transverse hole 40, and so that the angular plate 9 is associated, at such a given transverse hole 39 and at such a given transverse hole 40, with two standard plates 8 applied on opposite sides of the external corner 5.
- angular plates 9 are applied along the external corner 5 without positioning them at any transverse hole 39, 40. These angular plates 9 are only bound to adjacent plates, as better explained below. For apparent reasons of production scale, the same type of angular plates 9 are used for the internal corner 4 as for the external corner 5. In theory, angular plates without the holes 21 and 22 could be used for the external corner 5.
- a respective threaded cylindrical bar 41 is inserted into each transverse hole 39, 40, so that its two free ends project from the holes 13, 21, 22 of the two plates 8, 9 applied at such a transverse hole 39, 40 on both sides 4a, 5a of the wall structure 1.
- the bars 41 are made of steel and have a diameter, for example, selected from a range between 6 and 12 mm.
- Each plate 8, 9 is blocked at the free end of the related bar 41 by means of a respective threaded flanged nut 42, so that plate 8, 9 presses against the wall structure 1.
- each standard plate 8 is rigidly connected on the internal side 4a to the respective standard plate 8 on the external side 5a, and each angular plate on the internal side 4a to the two corresponding standard plates 8 on the external side 5a.
- the tension of the nuts 42 is suitably adjusted by means of a tension regulator, for example by means of a manual dynamometric spanner. Thereby, a true scarf is obtained between the two walls 2 and 3.
- controlled-shrinkage fluid mortar is injected into the transverse holes 39 and 40, for example, of the type known under the trade name "Exocem 22", by using a known machine for injecting mortar.
- the bars 41 are threaded for the entire length thereof.
- each of the plates 8 and 9 is bound with the adjacent plates 8 and 9 by means of respective bindings 12.
- Figure 8 only shows the horizontal bindings 12 between standard plates 8 and angular plates 9.
- each binding 12 between two adjacent standard plates 8 passes through a single eyelet 14 of each of the two standard plates 14, and each binding 12 between a standard plate 8 and an adjacent angular plate 9 passes through a single eyelet 14 of the standard plate 8 and a single eyelet 23, 24 of the angular plate 9.
- Each binding 12 is made by passing the related steel band through two eyelets of two adjacent plates, and by closing the loop band by means of a respective seal (not shown) of known type, for example a so-called overlap seal, or a so-called monolithic mould seal, both made of stainless or galvanized steel.
- a respective seal (not shown) of known type, for example a so-called overlap seal, or a so-called monolithic mould seal, both made of stainless or galvanized steel.
- the overlap seal is much more affordable than the monolithic mould seal, but provides less tear resistance. Indeed, the resistance of the overlap seal is about 75% of the resistance of the band, while the resistance of the monolithic mould seal is substantially equal to the one of the band.
- the tension of each binding 12 is preferably, but not necessarily, adjusted, by means of a suitably calibrated dynamometric device, according to whether binding 12 is substantially horizontal or vertical.
- the tension of the horizontal bindings 12 is greater than the one of the vertical bindings 12.
- the tension of the bindings 12 is adjusted, in the case of overlaps seals, by means of a commercial strap stretcher or, in the case of monolithic mould seals, by a tensioning tool which is suitable for the purpose.
- the reinforcement system thus made allows the wall structure 1 to be reinforced in a way that is not highly invasive, is effective in the three directions of space, due to the presence of the bars 41, which being fixed to the wall structure 1 by means of mortar and respective pairs of plates, act as artificial perpenders, and due to the presence of the mesh of bindings 12 which are coplanar to the surfaces of the walls 2 and 3 and which act as small horizontal and vertical tie rods capable, due to their flexibility, of overcoming any small obstacles along the surface of the walls 2 and 3 or of following a curved path of such a surface.
- the reinforcement system comprises at least two nets 43 (only one is shown in figure 9 ) made of thermoplastic material, each of which is applied onto a respective side 4a, 5a of the wall structure 1 underneath the plates 8-11.
- each net 43 is applied onto the respective side 4a, 5a immediately after having drilled the transverse holes 39 and 40, and therefore before applying the plates 8-11.
- the plates 8-11 also serve for fixing net 43 to the wall structure 1 like a kind of seam.
- net 43 is an extruded net, and in particular it is an extruded net made of alkaline resistant polypropylene.
- Net 43 also has rectangular meshes whose ratio between large side and small side is selected between a range of 1.4 and 1.8.
- the larger side of net 43 is selected between a range of 6 and 8 cm long.
- net 43 accentuates the reinforcing effect in the three orthogonal directions of space, thus in fact increasing the overall bordering and therefore the ductility of the reinforced wall structure 1, and adds an anti-expulsion effect of the elements forming the wall structure 1. Furthermore, net 43 ensures improved adhesion of the finish plaster and decreases the risk of cracks forming in the plaster over time.
- the reinforcement method differs from that described above in that the transverse holes, made by only drilling into the wall structure 1 on the accessible side, are not through holes, and therefore the bars 41 inserted into the respective transverse holes only project with a free end thereof from the respective transverse hole and the plates are only applied onto the accessible side of the wall structure 1.
- the reinforcement method differs from what is described above in that the holes 39 are made in the transversal wall and the holes 40 are made in the front wall, the angular plates 9 are applied along the two internal corners so that each angular plate 9 on an internal corner is associated, at one hole 39, with an angular plate 9 applied onto the other internal corner and, at one hole 40, with a standard plate 8 applied onto the external side of the front wall.
- a true scarf is obtained between the front wall and the transversal wall of the wall intersection.
- the main advantages of the above-described reinforcement method and of the corresponding reinforcement system are to ensure an effective triaxial reinforcement of the wall structure 1, that is a reinforcement which acts in the three directions of space capable of increasing the resistance to the bending and cutting of the walls 2 and 3, the overall ductility of the wall structure 1, and to ensure not being highly invasive on the wall structure 1, because essentially through holes 39 and 40 are to be drilled which all things considered, are reduced in diameter and the positioning of the plates 8-11 and of the bindings 12 falls under the normal thickness of the plaster.
- net 43 improves the triaxial reinforcement effect, adds an anti-expulsion effect of the elements forming the wall structure 1, which is very important in case the wall structure 1 breaks during an earthquake, and improves the cracking resistance of the plaster, which normally is increased in thickness in old wall structures 1.
- net 43 determines, together with the plates 8-11 combined in pairs by means of the bars 41 and adjacent ones bound together by means of bindings 12, an important cage effect which improves the overall ductility of the wall structure 1 and the box effect as a whole, thus incrementing the resistance of the wall structure 1 to all types of horizontal and vertical seismic actions.
- the reinforcement system is completely reversible and certifiable. Indeed, the bands of the bindings 12, the seals which close the bindings and the overall seal of the bindings 12 are certifiable, the tension of the bindings 12 can be differentiated according to needs, the plates 8-11 and the saddles 16 are certifiable, the bars 41 are certifiable, and the extruded net 43 made of polypropylene is certifiable. This is an extremely important aspect because the reinforcement system must necessarily comply with seismic legislation and the legislation concerning the use of steel in constructions.
- the reinforcement method and the corresponding reinforcement system of the present invention may not only be advantageously used for old brick and/or stone buildings, but also to increase the performance characteristics of the structures of the newly built brick buildings and to reinforce buildings made with concrete, wood or metal structures.

Description
- The present invention relates to a method for reinforcing a wall structure and to a corresponding reinforcement system for a wall structure.
- In particular, the present invention is advantageously, but not exclusively, applied in the reinforcement of wall structures of existing buildings with the purpose of meeting the requirements of recent seismic legislation, in particular Circular no. 617 of 2009 issued by the Supreme Council for Public Works ("Consiglio Superiore Lavori Pubblici") of the Italian Republic, to which the following description will explicitly refer without however losing in generality.
- A masonry building must be conceived and built as a three-dimensional assembly of walls and floors so as to define the so-called "box effect or behaviour of the whole" which should ensure the stability, ductility and robustness of the building.
- The masonry constructions in Italy's current building patrimony are generally characterized by wall structures with poor features, both in terms of conformation and of the quality of the bindings used. The wall structures in very old buildings often have a double facing. Indeed, most masonry constructions have poor, or do not even have, transverse connections, so-called "perpenders", in the load bearing walls, have a poor or ineffective scarf between stones or the individual brick elements forming the walls, have poor connections between the orthogonal walls and in the corner joints and have an inadequate connection of the floors to the walls. Furthermore, the poor quality of the binding material (mortars) used to bind the stone or brick elements in the construction of stone or combined masonries does not ensure enduring wall monolithicity over time and leads to an inexorable disaggregation of the wall texture. Finally, the wall structure of existing masonry constructions is often characterized by low resistance to both horizontal and vertical seismic actions.
- Therefore, in interventions to reinforce the wall structure of buildings, which have the goal of improving the box behaviour of the whole, the main problems to be resolved are: the lack of connections between orthogonal walls in the so-called angled walls or in the so-called intersection walls; the lack or inadequacy of perpenders in load bearing walls and, therefore, the poor stability for loads; the lack or inadequacy of the scarfs between load bearing walls and floors; the poor resistance to the actions which promote out-of-plane toppling of the wall panels; the poor resistance to the actions parallel to the plane of the wall; and the inadequate distribution of the horizontal and containment forces of the walls by the floors.
- It is known to make artificial perpenders by following techniques which firstly provide creating one or more transversal openings in the masonry walls to be reinforced and then closing the openings by placing a mix of reinforced concrete. If the reinforcement to be made requires a significantly large artificial perpender, the creation of the openings could be extremely invasive, with the risk that making the artificial perpenders could cause more harm than good.
- It is also known to make dovetail reinforcement connections between at least one vertical wall and a related floor. However, making dovetail connections between walls and floors requires significant demolition work of the masonry at the floors.
- Italian patent application
RM99A000736 - However, in practice, such a system has revealed to be particularly complicated, and therefore costly, to implement, in the adjacent masonries in two contiguous buildings because it does not consider the different tension required in the three orthogonal directions, and in the case of rubble masonries, because it is not very effective, and may even be harmful, due to the impossibility to control the transversal tension. Moreover, such a system does not consider the requirements imposed by Circular no. 617 of 2009, which absolutely advises against generalized, diffused tensioning in the vertical direction.
EP 1170 440 discloses a method for reinforcing a wall structure, comprising drilling transverse holes into the wall structure and applying a plurality of plates with a cylindrical bar into each hole. - The object of the present invention is to provide a method for reinforcing an existing wall structure, which is free from the above-described drawbacks and at the same time is easy and affordable to embody and perfectly meets recent seismic legislation.

figures 1 and2 generically indicates a portion of wall structure as a whole, which comprises twowalls figure 1 ) and a corresponding external corner 5 (figure 2 ) and comprises tworespective beams walls wall structure 1 shown represents a so-called "angled wall". The elements forming thewall structure 1 are brick blocks, or stones, or a combination of stones and brick blocks. An "internal corner" is intended as a corner defined by an angle less than 180° and an "external corner" is intended as a corner defined by an angle greater than 180°. By convention, it is hereinafter considered that the side of thewall structure 1 which comprises the internal corner 4 is theinternal side 4a and the side opposite to thewall structure 1, that is the one which comprises theexternal corner 5, is theexternal side 5a of thewall structure 1. Thewall structure 1 shown is reinforced by means of the reinforcement system made according to the invention, the system not being anything more than the implementation of the reinforcement method provided with the present invention. - With reference to
figures 1 and2 , the reinforcement system comprises a plurality ofplates sides wall structure 1 at the transverse holes (not shown infigures 1 and2 ) drilled into thewall structure 1 according to a predetermined arrangement, so that each plate 8-11 on one side of thewall structure 1 is associated, at least at one of the transverse holes, with at least another plate 8-11 on the other side of thewall structure 1. The reinforcement system comprises a plurality of threaded cylindrical bars (not shown infigures 1 and2 ), each of which is inserted into a respective transverse hole to connect each plate 8-11 on one side of thewall structure 1 with the corresponding plate 8-11 on the other side of the wall structure. Each plate 8-11 has a plurality of eyelets obtained along an external portion of the same plate (figures 3 to 6 ). Each plate 8-11, on each side of thewall structure 1, is connected with the ones adjacent thereto, that is the closest surrounding ones, by means of respective closedloop bindings 12, each of which passes through an eyelet of such a plate and an eyelet of the related adjacent plate. - The plates indicated with
numeral 8 are standard plates, which are applied onto the surfaces of thewalls numeral 9 are angular plates, which are applied along thecorners 4 and 5. The plates indicated withnumeral 10 are terminal plates, which are applied onto thebeams numeral 11 are connecting plates, which are applied onto thewalls beams adjacent terminal plate 10, to at least one adjacentstandard plate 8, to at least one adjacent connectingplate 11 and, if nearby, to oneangular plate 9. - Advantageously, the plates 8-11 are made of stainless or galvanized steel and have a thickness selected from a range between 3 and 5 mm and a larger side between 15 and 25 cm long. The
bindings 12 consist of closed loop stainless or galvanized steel bands and are preferably less than 1 mm thick. -
Figures 3 to 6 show the plates in greater detail.Figure 3 shows astandard plate 8, which is rectangular and has, in middle position, a throughhole 13 and, along an external portion, fourcurved eyelets 14 which are symmetrical with respect to twoaxes hole 13. Thestandard plate 8 is provided with fourU-shaped saddles 16, each of which is inserted into arespective eyelet 14 with theconcave side 16a ofsaddle 16 facingperimeter 17 ofplate 8 to be, in use, wound by arelated binding 12. -
Figure 7 shows, from the side, asaddle 16 thread into aneyelet 14 with theconcave side 16a facing perimeter 17 ofplate 8 and theconvex side 16b wound by a section of a binding 12. Thesaddles 16 serve for protecting thebindings 12, that is they have the purpose of preventing thebindings 12 from being sheared by theedges 18 of theeyelets 14 when thebindings 12 are placed under tension, and of promoting the sliding of thebindings 12 through theeyelets 14 during the adjustment of the tension of thebindings 12. -
Figure 4 shows anangular plate 9, which is L shaped and comprises twoflat portions rounded corner 27 of the sameangular plate 9 and which have respective throughholes holes corners 4 and 5 of thewall structure 1. For example, if thewalls holes portion curved eyelets axis corner 27, and the third of which is symmetrical with respect to anaxis axis -
Figure 5 shows aterminal plate 10, which is rectangular and has a throughhole 28 and twocurved eyelets 29 which are symmetrical with respect torespective axes terminal plate 10, respective angles of about 45°, and therefore form a right angle with each other. -
Figure 6 shows a connectingplate 11, which consists of arectangular portion 31 and of asemicircular portion 32 connected toportion 31 and has, in middle position, athrough hole 33. Therectangular portion 31 has, along an external portion thereof, threecurved eyelets 34, two of which are symmetrical with respect to anaxis 35a which is parallel to aside 36 ofportion 31 not connected toportion 32, and the third of which is symmetrical with respect to anaxis 35b which is perpendicular toside 36.Semicircular portion 32 has, along an external portion thereof, twocurved eyelets 37 which are symmetrical with respect torespective axes 38a and 38b thus forming, withside 36, respective angles of about 45°, and therefore form a right angle with each other. Each of theside eyelets 34, that is the symmetrical ones with respect to the axes 35 which are parallel toside 36, is adapted to be passed through by arespective binding 12 which is closed through aside eyelet 34 of another adjacent connectingplate 11 or aneyelet figure 1 ). Thelower eyelet 34, that is the symmetrical one with respect to axis 35 which is perpendicular toside 36, is adapted to be passed through by arespective binding 12 which is closed through aneyelet 14 of an adjacent standard plate 8 (figure 1 ). At least one of theeyelets 37 is adapted to be passed through by arespective binding 12 which is closed through aneyelet 29 of a terminal plate 10 (figures 1 and2 ). - With reference to
figures 4 to 6 , each of theplates saddles 16, each of which is identical to the ones shown infigures 3 and 7 , and is inserted into arespective eyelet figures 3 and 4 and for the same purpose as mentioned forplate 8. - The reinforcement method of the present invention is hereinafter described in detail, while making particular reference to
figure 8 , which only illustrates a part of the reinforcement system infigures 1 and3 , that is two rows ofplates sides walls - The reinforcement method provides drilling transverse holes into the
wall structure 1, on opposite sides of the internal corner 4 (or of the external corner 5), that is divided among the ones indicated withnumeral 39, which are drilled intowall 2, and the ones indicated withnumeral 40, which are drilled intowall 3. Thetransverse holes walls side 4a to theother side 5a of thewall structure 1. Thetransverse holes wall structure 1. In the example infigures 1 and2 , thetransverse holes walls transverse holes - After having drilled the
transverse holes plates wall structure 1 at thetransverse holes - The
standard plates 8 are applied onto the twosides wall structure 1 so that eachstandard plate 8 on theinternal side 4a is associated, at a respectivetransverse hole standard plate 8 on theexternal side 5a and so thathole 13 of eachstandard plate 8 is substantially coaxial to the relatedtransverse hole angular plates 9 are applied along the internal corner 4, and therefore on theinternal side 4a, so that the twoholes angular plate 9 are substantially coaxial, the first, to a giventransverse hole 39 and, the other one, to a giventransverse hole 40, and so that theangular plate 9 is associated, at such a giventransverse hole 39 and at such a giventransverse hole 40, with twostandard plates 8 applied on opposite sides of theexternal corner 5. - Other
angular plates 9 are applied along theexternal corner 5 without positioning them at anytransverse hole angular plates 9 are only bound to adjacent plates, as better explained below. For apparent reasons of production scale, the same type ofangular plates 9 are used for the internal corner 4 as for theexternal corner 5. In theory, angular plates without theholes external corner 5. - At this point, a respective threaded
cylindrical bar 41 is inserted into eachtransverse hole holes plates transverse hole sides wall structure 1. Thebars 41 are made of steel and have a diameter, for example, selected from a range between 6 and 12 mm. Eachplate related bar 41 by means of a respective threadedflanged nut 42, so thatplate wall structure 1. Thereby, eachstandard plate 8 is rigidly connected on theinternal side 4a to the respectivestandard plate 8 on theexternal side 5a, and each angular plate on theinternal side 4a to the two correspondingstandard plates 8 on theexternal side 5a. The tension of the nuts 42 is suitably adjusted by means of a tension regulator, for example by means of a manual dynamometric spanner. Thereby, a true scarf is obtained between the twowalls - After having blocked the
various plates transverse holes Exocem 22", by using a known machine for injecting mortar. Advantageously, thebars 41 are threaded for the entire length thereof. Thereby, there is a double advantage: there is no need to manufacture custom bars 41 for theparticular wall structure 1, because it is sufficient to manufacture sufficiently long bars 41 and to custom cut them during installation; furthermore, the threading improves the adherence of thebars 41 to the mortar and once the latter has matured, thus increases the seal against the axial extraction of thebars 41. - Once the mortar is injected into the
transverse holes plates adjacent plates respective bindings 12.Figure 8 only shows thehorizontal bindings 12 betweenstandard plates 8 andangular plates 9. In particular, each binding 12 between twoadjacent standard plates 8 passes through asingle eyelet 14 of each of the twostandard plates 14, and each binding 12 between astandard plate 8 and an adjacentangular plate 9 passes through asingle eyelet 14 of thestandard plate 8 and asingle eyelet angular plate 9. Each binding 12 is made by passing the related steel band through two eyelets of two adjacent plates, and by closing the loop band by means of a respective seal (not shown) of known type, for example a so-called overlap seal, or a so-called monolithic mould seal, both made of stainless or galvanized steel. The overlap seal is much more affordable than the monolithic mould seal, but provides less tear resistance. Indeed, the resistance of the overlap seal is about 75% of the resistance of the band, while the resistance of the monolithic mould seal is substantially equal to the one of the band. - During the closing with the seal, the tension of each binding 12 is preferably, but not necessarily, adjusted, by means of a suitably calibrated dynamometric device, according to whether binding 12 is substantially horizontal or vertical. For example, the tension of the
horizontal bindings 12 is greater than the one of thevertical bindings 12. The tension of thebindings 12 is adjusted, in the case of overlaps seals, by means of a commercial strap stretcher or, in the case of monolithic mould seals, by a tensioning tool which is suitable for the purpose. The operations described above with reference to thestandard plates 8 and to theangular plates 9 are performed similarly for theterminal plates 10, and therefore thetransverse holes beams plates 11 so as to obtain a mesh ofbindings 12 like the one shown infigures 1 and2 . The reinforcement system thus made allows thewall structure 1 to be reinforced in a way that is not highly invasive, is effective in the three directions of space, due to the presence of thebars 41, which being fixed to thewall structure 1 by means of mortar and respective pairs of plates, act as artificial perpenders, and due to the presence of the mesh ofbindings 12 which are coplanar to the surfaces of thewalls walls - According to a further embodiment of the present invention shown in
figure 9 , in which the corresponding elements are indicated with the same numbers and letters as infigure 1 , the reinforcement system comprises at least two nets 43 (only one is shown infigure 9 ) made of thermoplastic material, each of which is applied onto arespective side wall structure 1 underneath the plates 8-11. In particular, in accordance with the reinforcement method of the present invention, each net 43 is applied onto therespective side transverse holes wall structure 1 like a kind of seam. Advantageously, net 43 is an extruded net, and in particular it is an extruded net made of alkaline resistant polypropylene.Net 43 also has rectangular meshes whose ratio between large side and small side is selected between a range of 1.4 and 1.8. Preferably, the larger side ofnet 43 is selected between a range of 6 and 8 cm long. - The application of
net 43 accentuates the reinforcing effect in the three orthogonal directions of space, thus in fact increasing the overall bordering and therefore the ductility of the reinforcedwall structure 1, and adds an anti-expulsion effect of the elements forming thewall structure 1. Furthermore, net 43 ensures improved adhesion of the finish plaster and decreases the risk of cracks forming in the plaster over time. - According to a further embodiment of the present invention not shown, which is applied, for example, to a
wall structure 1 not accessible on one side, the reinforcement method differs from that described above in that the transverse holes, made by only drilling into thewall structure 1 on the accessible side, are not through holes, and therefore thebars 41 inserted into the respective transverse holes only project with a free end thereof from the respective transverse hole and the plates are only applied onto the accessible side of thewall structure 1. - According to a further embodiment of the present invention not shown, which is applied to a
wall structure 1 consisting of a so-called "wall intersection", that is of the type comprising a front wall joined to a transversal wall so as to form a T and therefore, to define two internal corners on the two internal sides opposite to the wall intersection, the reinforcement method differs from what is described above in that theholes 39 are made in the transversal wall and theholes 40 are made in the front wall, theangular plates 9 are applied along the two internal corners so that eachangular plate 9 on an internal corner is associated, at onehole 39, with anangular plate 9 applied onto the other internal corner and, at onehole 40, with astandard plate 8 applied onto the external side of the front wall. Thereby, a true scarf is obtained between the front wall and the transversal wall of the wall intersection. - Although the above-described invention makes particular reference to a precise embodiment, it is not limited to such an embodiment, as all those variants, modifications or simplifications fall within the scope thereof which are apparent to the expert field technician, such as for example:
- the plates 8-11 have a different shape than the one described above, for example the
standard plates 8 are circular in shape; - the
bindings 12 consist of bands made of highly resistant plastic material of the type of the ones normally used for packaging ferrous material, and are loop closed by means of high-temperature gluing; or - the plates 8-11 do not have
saddles 16 and the related eyelets have at least one section of rounded edge to promote the sliding of thebindings 12 and prevent the shearing thereof. - The main advantages of the above-described reinforcement method and of the corresponding reinforcement system are to ensure an effective triaxial reinforcement of the
wall structure 1, that is a reinforcement which acts in the three directions of space capable of increasing the resistance to the bending and cutting of thewalls wall structure 1, and to ensure not being highly invasive on thewall structure 1, because essentially throughholes bindings 12 falls under the normal thickness of the plaster. The embodiment which provides the application ofnet 43 improves the triaxial reinforcement effect, adds an anti-expulsion effect of the elements forming thewall structure 1, which is very important in case thewall structure 1 breaks during an earthquake, and improves the cracking resistance of the plaster, which normally is increased in thickness inold wall structures 1. In other words, net 43 determines, together with the plates 8-11 combined in pairs by means of thebars 41 and adjacent ones bound together by means ofbindings 12, an important cage effect which improves the overall ductility of thewall structure 1 and the box effect as a whole, thus incrementing the resistance of thewall structure 1 to all types of horizontal and vertical seismic actions. - Furthermore, the reinforcement system is completely reversible and certifiable. Indeed, the bands of the
bindings 12, the seals which close the bindings and the overall seal of thebindings 12 are certifiable, the tension of thebindings 12 can be differentiated according to needs, the plates 8-11 and thesaddles 16 are certifiable, thebars 41 are certifiable, and the extruded net 43 made of polypropylene is certifiable. This is an extremely important aspect because the reinforcement system must necessarily comply with seismic legislation and the legislation concerning the use of steel in constructions. - Finally, it is worth underlining that the reinforcement method and the corresponding reinforcement system of the present invention may not only be advantageously used for old brick and/or stone buildings, but also to increase the performance characteristics of the structures of the newly built brick buildings and to reinforce buildings made with concrete, wood or metal structures.
