Solutions for Structural Consolidation and Reinforcement

Recover, renovate, preserve.

How to identify the most effective reinforcement for your building?

Recover, renovate, preserve are the watchwords of today’s building industry. These needs are faced with a fragile building heritage, largely made up of buildings with inherent vulnerabilities stemming from traditional materials and construction techniques. The need to reinforce a structure may also arise from a change of use, from design or construction shortcomings or, as is often the case, from a change in the level of safety imposed by regulations. The goal is to improve the structure both statically and seismically.

Ensuring the building performs well as a whole and preventing fragile mechanisms from being triggered in the structure are the cornerstones of intervention. But what kind of intervention? Which materials? The choice of the optimal solution always stems from a correct diagnosis, a fundamental activity to define the most suitable products and processes based on physical, chemical and mechanical compatibility.

Fassa Bortolo offers cutting-edge formulas for consolidating and restoring structures that have deteriorated and are subject to seismic stress: targeted solutions, combining Fassa Bortolo’s historical know-how in the world of inorganic binders with the most recent developments in the technique of composite materials, allow for structural intervention in a variety of conditions.

Our reserved area also features the new FassaStruttura software, a free application designed to perform sectional checks of existing structural elements and DWG tables illustrating specific intervention solutions with Fassa Bortolo technologies.

CRM systems

High-thickness consolidation solutions for masonry using the reinforced plaster technique by means of a pre-formed composite mesh embedded in a structural mortar and bound via connectors to the masonry to be reinforced.

FRP systems

High mechanical performance external reinforcement solutions for reinforced concrete or masonry structures using organic matrix composite materials reinforced by means of fibre fabrics.

FRCM systems

Low-thickness external reinforcement solutions with FRCM (Fibre Reinforced Cementitious Matrix) composites for concrete or masonry structures.

Repair with structural mortars

Solutions for repairing masonry characterised by deteriorated bedding joints, masonry discontinuities or cracks.

Working with helical bars

Low-invasive solutions for dry connection of disconnected wall panels or, in combination with NHL-based mortars, for repair and reinforcement using the reinforced repointing technique.

Consolidating injections

A solution for improving the mechanical properties of masonry with internal voids, also suitable for high-quality, exposed historical masonry.

Anti-collapse structures

FASSAPROTECTION SOLAIO, installed on concrete slabs, is a useful intervention needed to counteract collapsing.

Anti-overturning structures

 

FASSAPROTECTION PARETE, realised on brick infill structures, represent a useful intervention necessary to counteract the development of overturning mechanisms.
