Reinforcement Hospital Laboratories

The original cafeteria area has been transformed into a medical laboratory to meet the needs of scientific research.

Due to the particularity of the laboratory, the floor bearing capacity needs to be increased to 800kg/㎡ to 1000kg/㎡. To ensure the safety and stability of the renovated floors, reinforcement construction is required.

In order to meet the usage needs of medical laboratories, our company has developed a detailed reinforcement plan, and the construction scope mainly includes the following two aspects:

Adding steel beams at the bottom of the slab for reinforcement: By adding steel beams at the bottom of the existing floor slab, the overall load-bearing capacity of the floor slab is strengthened. The selection, design, and installation of steel beams are strictly calculated to ensure that they can effectively share floor loads and enhance structural stability.

Reinforcing beams, slabs, and columns with carbon fiber: Utilizing the high strength and high modulus characteristics of carbon fiber cloth, it is pasted on the surface of beams, slabs, and columns to enhance the strength and stiffness of the structure. The adhesive between carbon fiber cloth and concrete has been carefully selected to ensure a strong and reliable bond between the two.

Reinforcement effect

Static load test: Conduct local static load test on the reinforced area and apply load to the floor slab using the stacking method. According to the deflection observation results, the deflection observation values show a stable trend and are all below the allowable values in relevant regulations. Indicating that the panel surface basically meets the deformation requirements of the normal service limit state under static load.

After experimental testing, the load values after reinforcement meet the usage requirements of Party A. The load-bearing capacity of the floor has been successfully increased from the original 500kg/㎡ to 1t/㎡, meeting the load-bearing requirements of medical laboratories.
