Abstract

Substructure for a construction that is self-supporting without the substructure and use of the substructure. The invention relates to a substructure for a construction that is self-supporting without the substructure, which construction has at least one carrying component accommodating at least one force, wherein the substructure can be arranged relative to the construction in such a way that it is located at least partly in direct proximity to the at least one carrying component, accommodating at least one force, of the construction. The invention also relates to the use of the substructure as an underpinning structure or as a reinforcement for the construction.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 - 32 . (canceled) 
     
     
         33 . An underpinning structure
 a) embodied and intended for protecting a construction that is self-supporting without the underpinning structure;   b) wherein the construction has at least one carrying component accommodating at least one force;   
       characterized in that:
 c) the underpinning structure is arranged relative to the construction in such a way that it is located at least partly in direct proximity to the at least one carrying component, accommodating at least one force, of the construction; 
 d) wherein the underpinning structure is not connected directly to the carrying component of the construction for the introduction of forces, but rather is set apart from the carrying component of the construction; 
 e) wherein the distance is selected in such a way: 
 e1) that season-induced and/or weather-induced material expansions and/or material contractions and/or oscillations of the carrying component of the construction, in a conventional tolerance range which is to be expected, do not lead to contacting of the underpinning structure; and 
 e2) that, however, the underpinning structure supports the carrying component in the event of a failure and/or static yielding of the carrying component of the construction. 
 
     
     
         34 . The underpinning structure as claimed in  claim 33 , wherein at least two structure elements in the form of a rod, a pipe, an angle profile, a cord, a cord net and/or a connecting element are provided. 
     
     
         35 . The underpinning structure as claim in  claim 33 , which has a three-dimensional framework. 
     
     
         36 . The underpinning structure as claim in  claim 33 , wherein at least one structure portion of the underpinning structure is located in direct proximity to the carrying component, accommodating at least one force, of the construction in such a way that the structure portion supports the carrying component during yielding of the carrying component, accommodating the force, of the construction. 
     
     
         37 . The underpinning structure as claim in  claim 33 , embodied and intended for protecting a roof of a building. 
     
     
         38 . The underpinning structure as claimed in  claim 33 , wherein at least one structure portion of the underpinning structure runs substantially parallel to the roof. 
     
     
         39 . The underpinning structure as claim in  claim 33 , wherein at least one structure portion of the underpinning structure runs in a substantially horizontal or arcuate manner. 
     
     
         40 . The underpinning structure as claim in  claim 33 , wherein at least one structure portion of the underpinning structure is arranged:
 at least partly within or below the construction; and/or   within or below or next to the carrying component, accommodating at least one force, of the construction.   
     
     
         41 . The underpinning structure as claim in  claim 33 , wherein at least one structure portion of the underpinning structure extends at least partly through a wall of the construction. 
     
     
         42 . The underpinning structure as claim in  claim 33 , wherein at least one structure portion of the underpinning structure is arranged on at least one support. 
     
     
         43 . The underpinning structure as claimed in  claim 33 , wherein the support is located within or outside the construction. 
     
     
         44 . The underpinning structure as claim in  claim 33 , wherein at least one structure portion of the underpinning structure is mounted at least partly on a part of the construction or on an attachment to the construction. 
     
     
         45 . The underpinning structure as claim in  claim 33 , which has at least one guy. 
     
     
         46 . The underpinning structure as claim in  claim 33 , embodied and intended for protecting a bridge. 
     
     
         47 . The underpinning structure as claim in  claim 33 , which is embodied in an at least partly arcuate manner. 
     
     
         48 . The underpinning structure as claim in  claim 33 , with which a measuring means is associated for determining the distance between the carrying component, accommodating at least one force, of the construction and at least one structure portion of the underpinning structure. 
     
     
         49 . The underpinning structure as claimed in  claim 33 , wherein, based on at least one measured value of the measuring means, an alarm can be triggered if the distance between the carrying component, accommodating at least one force, of the construction and the at least one structure portion of the underpinning structure reaches or drops below a limit value. 
     
     
         50 . The underpinning structure as claim in  claim 33 , which is arranged at least partly on a foundation of the construction.
