Abstract (en)
[origin: EP1045089A1] The system may be used in old churches with stone vault ceilings (10) where the mortar between the stones (14) of the vault deteriorating. It pins the stones and holds them in position. Bores are drilled in each stone from the top surface (17) to withi short distance of the bottom surface (16) and a pin (19) is anchored in each bore. The top ends of the pins extend a considerable distance above the top surface of the vault. A synthetic mortar or cement (1 is poured onto the top surface of the vault, to a depth sufficient to cover the top ends of the pins. The layer of mortar is strong compression, when set, and extends into the spring of the arch (11) to transfer thrust to the wall of the building. The mix is chosen to give a coefficient of thermal expansion as near as possible equal to that of the stones of the vault.
