stiffening/stiffening up Explanation: Hi Russell, just a try hence my low grade. It seems the antonym of loosening is stiffening by googling the term so, I found the following: http://www.btb.termiumplus.gc.ca/tpv2alpha/alpha-eng.html?la... http://www.nycsubway.org/wiki/Difficult_Engineering_in_the_S... stiffen http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/column but usually many stacked bricks or concrete block vertically** stiffening**a thin wall again to resist buckling stiffening the column up /stiffening the column /steffening it up etc. (stiffen something up = to make something rigid or tense) HIH Grace - Have a nice working Sunday. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 8 ore (2014-07-05 18:11:25 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Sorry typo pls read: stiffening it up (not steffening) and one may also consider ** stiffening up again the column** - If the verb sounds correct to you, it's just a question, as you know better than me, of phrase structuring, rendering ..... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 giorno4 ore (2014-07-06 13:57:10 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Hi Russell, some other links that seem to support Jim's point of view. in italian http://www.novatek.it/download/REFERENZE-AZIENDALI-2013-web.... Il particolare il detensionamento delle murature perimetrali in prossimità del transetto e intorno al pilastro nord-est dichiara la capacità della struttura muraria di proseguire nel moto di subsidenza per “steps” oppure, occasionalmente, al verificarsi di eventi sismici nonchè periodi siccitosi con significative escursioni del livello della falda. L’intervento è quindi pensato per garantire il ritensionamento della zona di fondazione e dei relativi muri in elevazione. Il sistema adottato ha caratteristica poco invasiva, consiste in una campagna di iniezioni di stabilizzazione del substrato, tramite resine ureiche di tipo espandente, dosate secondo la condizione particolare della fondazione. in English & Italian http://www.cenci.com/home/images/pdf/MuRiCo3_Atti_convegno.p... Meccanica delle strutture in muratura rinforzate con compositi modellazione, sperimentazione, progetto, controllo Mechanics of masonry structures **strengthened** with composite materials modeling, testing, design, control 1 Introduction Since ancient times, devices have been employed to **reinforce** compressed members. Iron bands were applied around pillars or columns, still hot or with special devices, as to produce a self stress state within the compressed member and to result as an active **reinforcement**. Recently, fibre reinforced polymer composites (FRP) wraps have been substituting the traditional steel hoops………………………................. In the present paper, results of simple compression and tri-axial experimental tests carried out on wrapped or unwrapped brickwork and concrete specimens are reported. Obtained results are compared with those determined applying relationships available in literature or proposed by official guideline and are discussed. Interesting considerations are derived on the materials behaviour, the specimen failure modes and the effective confinement. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 giorno4 ore (2014-07-06 13:58:39 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- http://www.dicat.unige.it/ita/seminari/Gambarotta070314.pdf Mechanics of masonry structures Columns, arches and bridges Evaluation of strengthening techniques http://www.reluis.it/dbuninadist/foto/038.pdf in English & Italian -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 giorno4 ore (2014-07-06 13:59:32 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- http://www.strutture.unipg.it/scienza/pdf/97.pdf in English & Italian -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 giorno4 ore (2014-07-06 14:01:30 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Modern structural reinforcement methods were applied as follows: Carbon Fibre Reinforcement (CFK louvres and C-Sheets) was used to strengthen of columns, beams, structural walls and truss members in reinforced concrete; round reinforced concrete supports underwent hooped strengthening with C-Sheets; the bearing capacity of rectangular columns was increased by slotting in CFK louvres and trussed framework nodes were hand-laminated. bergmeister.eu -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2 giorni20 ore (2014-07-08 06:05:41 GMT) Post-grading -------------------------------------------------- Thank you indeed Russell.
