Description

DESCRIPTION

TITLE: Pultruded couplings for ventilated walls, sun screens, road barriers, noise barriers and couplings between

In the newly built sector, pultruded structural profiles in fiber-reinforced composite material (FRP) are used for the construction of structures where the lightness and durability of the product become important. There are countless fields of application that see pultruded structural profiles worthy substitutes for traditional steel or stainless steel profiles.

The characteristics of the pultruded structural profiles translate into the following advantages:

• High resistance to corrosion;

• Low conductivity - thermal and electrical (glass fiber);

• Transparent to electromagnetic fields and radio frequencies (glass fiber); • High mechanical resistance;

• Good impact resistance;

• Dimensional stability;

• Dimensionally stable in situations of thermal stress;

• Lightness (80% less than steel);

• No rust problems therefore excellent long-lasting aesthetic impact; • Customizable colors.

Following these advantages, the use of these innovative profiles in the civil / industrial industry is clear and justified for all the problems connected to corrosion and electromagnetic transparency, as well as the benefits obtained in terms of drastically reduced maintenance costs. Another advantage, thanks to the very low weight, is realized in the possibility of complete assembly of the product and subsequent installation of the same with a net saving in terms of installation procedures time.

With regard to the existing building-infrastructural heritage, the pultruded structural profiles are used for the reinforcement, consolidation and restructuring of mainly inflected wooden works (joists and beams making up the floor), making a significant increase in the inertia of the section where the system requires it. , without however aggravating the existing structure of its own weight and without significantly changing the thickness of the finished floor. This solution is winning not only from an engineering point of view, but above all from the construction point of view, thanks to the high lightness of the profiles which makes them easily transportable by hand even in the most difficult construction sites.

The types of profiles and coupling considered, object of design, follow the arrangement of some standard connections that are currently made of steel, aluminum or other alloys.

The design also consists in the study of more functional and simpler shapes and thicknesses than traditional systems (Figures 1, 2, 3, 4).

CLAIM TITLE: Pultruded hooks for ventilated walls, sun screens, road barriers, noise barriers and hooks between elements of any type. 1. Pultruded hooks between elements of any material, through systems that provide sufficient resistance values to the needs, but which in addition guarantee lightness of transport and use, ease of processing on site. The hooks can also be used directly by the customer, as they are easily transportable and assembled. The hooks are easily removable and restorable. 2. Coupling as in claim 1, consisting of a pultruded plate (element 1 of fig. 1a and 1 b), which is obtained according to the geometry and strength requirements of the structural node of the elements to be joined, which can be wood or in another material (fig. 1a and 1b). The plate can be inserted internally or externally to the elements to be joined (elements 2 of fig. La and 1b). The plate will be connected through connectors (elements 3 of fig. 1a and 1 b) or glue. 3. Coupling as in claim 1, consisting of a plate and / or pultruded profile (element 3 and 4 of fig. 2), which joins the ventilated wall or the sunscreen or counter-wall (element 1 of fig. 2) to the internal support ( element 2 of fig. 2). 4. Coupling as in claim 1, consisting of a plate and / or pultruded profile (element 2 and 3 of Fig. 3), which joins parts of the road barrier (element 1 of Fig. 3). 5. Coupling as in claim 1, consisting of a plate and / or pultruded profile (element 2 of fig. 4), which joins the noise barrier (element 1 of fig 4) to the support (element 3 of fig 4)
