STRENGTHENING OF CELLULAR CONCRETE PLATES AFTER PROLONGED USE IN INDUSTRIAL BUILDINGS COVERING
The results of the introduction of a new effective design of reinforcement of cellular concrete slabs located in the coating of industrial buildings are considered. The need for strengthening is caused by significant corrosion of the working valves and the danger of sudden collapse. The data of inspection of plates, results of calculation of durability before and after strengthening are given. The low-cost and labor-intensive way of strengthening of plates which is not demanding a stop of a production cycle is offered. The achieved effect of increasing the bearing capacity of the plates as a result of strengthening is estimated.
