1 General Provisions
1.0.1 This code was formulated with a view to achieving reliable technology, safety and usability, economy and rationality and guaranteed quality for strengthening of masonry structures.
1.0.2 This code is applicable to strengthening design of buildings and general masonry structures.
1.0.3 Before strengthening of masonry structures, reliability appraisal shall be carried out, on basis of building types, respectively according to the relevant requirements of the current national standards "Standard for Appraisal of Reliability of Industrial Buildings and Structures"(GB 50144) and "Standard for Appraiser of Reliability of Civil Buildings" (GB 50292). Where it is carried out in combination with the seismic strengthening, seismic capacity appraisal also shall be carried out according to the relevant requirements of the current national standard "Standard for Seismic Appraisal of Buildings" (GB 50023).
1.0.4 Strengthening design of masonry structures shall meet not only those specified in this code, but also the requirements of relevant current national standards.
2 Terms and Symbols
2.1 Terms
2.1.1 Strengthening of masonry structures
Measures such as strengthening, partial replacement or internal force adjustment are taken for masonry structures with insufficient reliability or whose reliability is required to be improved by the Owner as well as the structure member and the relevant parts so as to make them have safety, durability and applicability specified in the current codes for design and required by the Owner.
2.1.2 Existing structure member
The original member before strengthening.
2.1.3 Important structure member
The structure member whose failure will affect or endanger the safe operation of the bearing structure system.
2.1.4 General structure member
Structure members beyond the important structure members.
2.1.5 Composite cement mortar
The mortar with cement and high-performance mineral admixture as main components and mixed with additive and short fine fiber.
2.1.6 Polymer modified cement mortar
The high-strength cement mortar mixed with modified epoxy emulsion or other modified copolymer emulsion. The polymer modified cement mortar for the bearing structure shall be able to significantly imporove the capacity of its substrates such as anchored reinforcement, bonded concrete and masonry.
2.1.7 Steel reinforcement mesh
The mesh welded with ordinary hot-rolled ribbed bar or cold-rolled ribbed bars.
2.1.8 Fiber reinforced poloymer
A kind of composite material with fiber reinforcement effect that are arrayed with high-strength continuous fiber according to certain rules and formed after dipping, bonding and curing with adhesives, which is generally referred to as the fiber reinforced poloymer.
2.1.9 Strength utilization factor of material
The calculation factor introduced considering that the strength of strengthening materials fails to be fully utilized under secondary load conditions.
2.1.10 External layer strengthening
A ind of strengthening method that the bearing capacity and rigidity of the existing structure member are improved through external reinforced concrete layer or steel reinforcement mesh mortar layer.
2.1.11 Sectional steel strengthening
A kind of strengthening method that the section steel limb and batten plate are welded into a structure for the masonry column enclosure and the external force is districuted according to their respecitive rigidity ratios, which is also referred to as dry-externally bonded steel.
2.1.12 External prestressed strut strengthening
A kind of strengthening method that precompression is applied to two diagonal steel struts with cut and bending through tightening the transverse screw rod device so as to discharge the load of the masonry columns to the strut.
2.1.13 Counterfort masonry column strengthening
A kind of strengthening method that partial wall is thickened at some distance along the length direction of the masonry wall to form stiffening wall with buttress.
2.1.14 Masonry crack repairing
A kind of repairing method adopted with a view to sealing the masonry crack or recovering the integrity of the cracked masonry.
