There stability of the goats It is a primary aspect for the safety of buildings: in fact, they are an essential element for the cover support. Perform periodic analysis To find any vulnerability It is essential to determine whether it is necessary to intervene e which type of intervention adopt Based on the situation.
There are two types of intervention on the wooden trusses that can be carried out:
- full replacement: provides for the removal of the existing deed and the construction of a new structure that integrates with the existing building;
- local consolidation: solves critical issues with a targeted action, without changing the original structure.
When to replace or consolidate?
To decide if a damaged goat must be replaced, an in -depth evaluation is necessary and it is appropriate to consider several factors, which influence the choice between replacement or consolidation.
- Evaluation of the performance and functionality of the existing goat. The choice between replacing or consolidating a goat depends on the evaluation of its structural capacity. An in -depth analysis helps to determine whether the damage is serious or resolvable and, if the trustee is still functional, the consolidation can be a valid alternative to the replacement.
- Protection of the historical – artistic heritage. The interventions on the goats can influence the historical value of the building, since the original goats are architectural testimonies to be preserved. Replacing them can compromise the authenticity of the building, and in the case of historic buildings, there may be constraints that require conservative solutions to maintain integrity and resolve critical issues.
- Costs of the intervention. Replacing the goat person has a not indifferent cost: from the purchase of the materials to the preparation of the construction site, from the assembly of the scaffolding to the labor necessary to remove and restore the coverage and to all the phases of the intervention.
- Duration of the intervention. Replacing a goat involves considerable times, which include the design, modeling, the search for materials, the preparation of the construction site, the opening and restoration of the roof and the replacement phase.
Preserve, not to replace
