Patent attributes
A fracture caused by fatigue of a connecting portion positioned at a corner of a reinforcing frame directly secured to a frame is avoided regardless of a relative displacement that occurs in the frame upon disposing the reinforcing frame made of steel, which has an elevational shape surrounding the frame along an inner circumferential surface of the frame and a cross-sectional shape with a flange on a side of the frame, in a structure plane of the frame of a column and a beam of reinforced concrete structure, and joining the reinforcing frame to the inner circumferential surface of the frame. A reinforcing frame is constituted of a column portion along a column of a frame, a beam portion along a beam, and a connecting portion that is joined to the column portion and the beam portion, and connects the column portion to the beam portion. The connecting portion has a flange with a part close to the column portion and the beam portion formed to be shaped along an inner circumferential surface of the frame, and a part of the flange facing a corner of the frame formed into a shape in which a void is formed between the part and the corner of the frame.
