ABSTRACT:
A designing and construction process for raising the height of old buildings suitable for use to raise the height of old buildings of 2-6 stories, or of 7-9 stories if necessary. With this method, it is possible to add 5-8 stories to the old building with no need to demolish the old building and to move the residents to other places. Owing to the employment of supporting frame structure, which is independent of and directional pivotally connected to the original building, the weight of the new building is not supported by the old building, and owing to the employment of shock absorbing devices for building and "shock isolator for buildings", the aseismic capacity of the building is greatly enhanced. This method of raising the height of low-storeyed building of the invention solves a number of problems in relation to rebuilding buildings and avoids great waste.
