Strengthening Doorframes By Earthquake

Strengthening doorframes by Earthquake

Details Written by Rodney Bellido de Luna

The failures occurred in the lintels in the field of access doors in many buildings from the earthquake, mainly result from a discontinuity of stiffness that we see in the halls of hits departments in buildings.

It is common to see a long wall which is interrupted by the doors failures observed in the slabs just access to product departments lack of steel reinforcement in this sector that will withstand the stress that was generated in an earthquake.

The solution to this problem can be made with structural reinforcement with carbon fiber with both the floor and the sky level by adding carbon fiber to the effort required to be transmitted along the slab without fail.
