Application of SMPM Technique in the Retrofitting of Historic Buildings

Abstract eng:
China is an ancient civilization with a long history and around the country there located numbers of historic buildings, which have been concerned and protected by the society and government. In view of the special nature of these buildings, fire resistance, environmental, economic and other aspects of special requirements must be meet as well as the safety, reliability and the reservation of their historic characters in the maintenance process and reinforcing construction of the building structure. The retrofitting technique of composite layer of high-strength steel stranded wire mesh and polymer mortar(SMPM) is a brand new one of structural strengthening with the advantages of high-strength, environmental and resistance to fire, corrosion and ageing. This technique overcomes various shortcomings of the existing ones, especially for the historic buildings. In this paper, applications of this technique in the maintenance process and reinforcing construction of historic buildings are introduced, which shows impressive effects and achievements.
