Abstract (en)

The present compensation device permits to obviate usual structural subsidences of buildings, especially whenever there occur subsidences of walls resting on long beams or other components subjected to downward bendings. <??>Generally, this compensation device includes a plurality of containing elements (2) which are cushion elements or the like. The containing elements (2) are carried out by utilizing two or more sheets. Suitable materials for the sheets may be steel, reinforced rubber, nylon or carbon. The sheets are bent and shaped suitably. <??>The said containing elements (2) are placed side by side consecutively and are connected with each other through connecting elements (3). <??>The containing elements (2) are filled with a suitable fluid which may be liquid or gaseous. In this way, it is possible to obtain an intercommunication among the containing elements so that a compression of one or more containing elements causes a corresponding expansion in one or more of the other containing elements. <IMAGE>
