Construcción izada: Condicionantes estructurales del sistema REVERSTOP

Abstract

A big problem for the construction of buildings is the construction in height, what supposes a risk for the workers and a greater cost. The patented REVERSTOP system allows the construction at ground level and the subsequent lifting of each plant. The upper level is the first to be built on the ground floor. This level is raised through hydraulic jacks and a new level is built under it. The subsequent phases allow building the entire building, always from the ground level. In this article we analyze the structural aspects of the system. In the case analyzed, the structure of the building consists of aluminum profiles that form the resistant walls, the floors and the roof, with the same element. The calculations that support the effectiveness of the solution and the experimental results obtained in the tests carried out within a research project are provided.
