RECONSTRUCTION OF A SCHOOL BUILDING WITH REPROFILING FOR A PRESCHOOL EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTION

Abstract

The work is devoted to the features of the reconstruction of the building for a children's educational institution. The study of the building, which was in a condition unsuitable for normal operation, is described. The main defects are presented. Project solutions for strengthening foundations, walls and replacing floor structures have been developed, which are implemented in practice.

The work is devoted to the features of the reconstruction of the building for a children's educational institution. The study of the building, which was in a condition unsuitable for normal operation, is described. The main defects are presented. Project solutions for strengthening foundations, walls and replacing floor structures have been developed, which are implemented in practice. Ukraine is increasingly faced with the problem of an insufficient number of preschool educational institutions in individual settlements. However, there is a large number of existing buildings that have not been used for a long time, but are subject to reconstruction with the possibility of their repurposing. The purpose of the study was to determine the technical condition of the existing school building and to develop design solutions for bringing the building out of a state unsuitable for normal operation for the possibility of further repurposing it as a preschool. The task of the research was to determine the main defects in the existing building and to develop design solutions for strengthening or replacing the supporting structures. In order to fulfill the task, research was carried out on the elements of the building, as well as the main defects and damage of building structures were determined, indicating the state of the load-bearing structures.

As a result of the survey, the following conclusions were made: the main load-bearing structures of the building are in a state unsuitable for further operation, namely: there are damages, defects and cracks that testify to a decrease in the load-bearing capacity of the structures of walls, floors, roofs, and foundations; the main structural elements are in a condition unsuitable for further operation, but there is no danger of their collapse and a threat to the safety of workers; the repurposing of the school premises into a preschool institution of the general type is possible under the condition of taking measures to restore and strengthen the walls, ceiling, roof, foundations, taking into account their physical and moral wear and tear. Design solutions have been developed for the reconstruction of the existing school building with subsequent repurposing into a preschool. A decision was submitted to strengthen the existing rubble foundations and to strengthen the load-bearing walls with metal ties.
