Innovation of Old Buildings Repairing and Vierendeel Steel Roof Truss

Abstract:

The old building was saved, protected and transformed with the original technique and measure. After the structure reliability of old building passed to test and evaluate, the architectural function was redesigned, old structure was reinforced and repaired. The structural integrity was strengthened using cement mortar and steel mesh to reinforce inner walls, adding cross walls, enclosure beam and seismic angle-steel. Without change the appearance of the building, a vierendeel steel truss was innovated, the loads of roof, truss and loft ceiling was transferred to small steel-concrete columns placed under truss support, not to walls. Vierendeel steel truss led to open space changed to the third floor within loft, the area increased twenty-six percent and met owner use at lower cost, results show good for ten years.
