How to Strengthen Existing Walls?

wall reinforcement with carbon fiber


The wall is one of the most important part of the building. So, what are the methods of wall reinforcement? What are the precautions for wall reinforcement?


Before talking about the wall reinforcement, we first come to know the type of wall

The walls can be divided into different types from the wall location, material, and stress characteristics.

1. The wall can be divided into exterior and interior walls according to the location.

2. The wall can be divided into brick walls, gas -added concrete block walls, stone walls, plate walls, load -bearing concrete hollow block walls.

3. The wall can be divided into load -bearing walls, self -ending walls, fences, and partitions according to the characteristics of stress.

4. The wall can be classified as a physical wall, an empty wall, and a composite wall according to the structure of the structure.


What is the role of the wall?

The role of the wall to encircle and separate the space. The wall of the wall inheritance of the structure of the building is unified with load -bearing and enclosure. The role of the building wall of the skeleton structure system is to protect and separate the space. The wall must have sufficient strength and stability, and has the ability to heat insulation, heat insulation, sound insulation, fire prevention, and waterproof.


What are the requirements of the wall function?

1. Have enough bearing capacity and stability.

2. It has the performance of warmth and insulation.

3. Have sound insulation.

4, meet the requirements of fire prevention.

5. It has the requirements of moisture -proof and waterproof.

6. Have the requirements of construction industrialization.


Hidden dangers of walls

1. Insufficient tendon with the wall;

2. Determine the wall of the wall according to the actual situation;

3. The section size of the edge component does not meet the requirements of the specifications;

4. The wall bearing capacity does not meet the requirements of the specifications;

5. Wall size and axis pressure ratio do not meet the design requirements.

Reinforcement method


Board wall reinforcement method:

You can use the plate wall for single or double -sided reinforcement

1) When the wall bearing capacity does not meet the specifications or design requirements

2) Or when the thickness of the wall, tendon, axis pressure ratio and edge component structure do not meet the regulations or

3) When the strength of the wall concrete is low or the construction quality is seriously defective

This method is suitable for walls of masonry structure and concrete structure


Adhesive bonded steel reinforcement method:

When the wall is insufficient due to insufficient tendons, the external sticky steel plate can be reinforced. When the shear bearing capacity is insufficient, only horizontal flat steel can be set; when the bending capacity is insufficient, vertical and vertical flat steel can be set; otherwise, flat steel should be set in horizontal and vertical direction. This method is suitable for concrete structure


Treatment of load -bearing wall opening methods:

First of all, the load -bearing wall must use static cutting method. There is no damage to the original structure (water saw, rhinestone, rope saw). The following two common methods can be adopted according to the requirements of the opening size and the parts of the force. Adhesive steel reinforcement, carbon fiber reinforcement


Precautions

1. Carefully check the original building structure drawings to determine which type of reinforcement wall belongs;

2. Make sure the reinforcement wall can achieve the prescribed load -bearing capacity, otherwise the structure will be in the hidden danger of safety;

3. As part of the house reinforcement, the wall reinforcement needs to be constructed strictly in accordance with the construction specifications in the process of reinforcement construction, because the details of each construction will affect the final reinforcement quality.
