APPARATUS FOR REINFORCING STRUCTURES

摘要

This is a reinforcing apparatus that can be prefabricated for easy installation at the construction site. The reinforcing members must be properly spaced and supported for reinforcing the structure into which it shall be incorporated. Various spacing members are described for the apparatus. One embodiment folds into a collaps ed structure prior to shipping and unfolds on the construction site. Another ha s a structure where the reinforcing members are snapped onto spacing members at the construction site, making for a quick assembly. Yet another has a structure in which the reinforcing members are clipped into place on the spacing member prior t o use. The apparatus, once assembled or unfolded, can be self-supporting.
