Anti-seismic strengthening with carbon-based FRCM on a residential building in Colognole (LI)

Carbon-based FRCMs and Leca lightweight solutions for a structural strengthening project in line with the Sismabonus 110% scheme

The Italian government scheme, offering financial incentives for anti-seismic improvement projects, acted as a stimulus for strengthening and consolidation work on existing masonry structures, such as this single-family residential building in Colognole, located in the province of Livorno.

The upper storey of the building presented extensive cracking, while the structure was in need of strengthening and consolidation, as well as anti-seismic strengthening, to prevent the risk of it collapsing.

These issues were corrected by implementing the following Laterlite brand solutions: the Leca-CentroStorico static slab strengthening and anti-seismic system and the Ruregold FRCM composite material based structural strengthening systems.

Ruregold and Leca anti-seismic structural strengthening.

The structural strengthening work carried out on the building was designed both to improve anti-seismic safety and increase its energy efficiency, within the context of a complete building renovation. The static strengthening of the walls, both internal and external, was realised using Ruregold structural strengthening solutions, based on FRCM composite materials. More specifically, the C-MESH 84/84 system, consisting of a 168 g/m2 bi-directional carbon fibre mesh, was used, together with MX-RW High Performance premixed, fibre-reinforced mortar for structural strengthening of existing masonry and C-JOINT carbon fibre anchoring connectors. The horizontal elements were strengthened by using Leca lightweight structural concrete to create a new slab, which was interconnected with the existing one using CentroStorico Connectors. In the case of the house in Colognole, CentroStorico Timber and Steel connectors were used, together with Perimeter Connectors for securing the slabs to the walls. Subsequently, the Leca CLS 1400 lightweight structural concrete was laid.   Laterlite provided all the necessary technical and design support, not only with regard to strengthening the slabs with the Leca systems, but also for the structural strengthening work carried out using Ruregold technologies, during the design, supply and installation phases. In addition to guaranteeing the static and anti-seismic performance of the building, the work permitted the customer to benefit from the Sismabonus financial incentives offered by the Superbonus 110% scheme.
