Posted by SPEK Photo 11/9/2004 3:46 AM | remove   Those round thing are use to hook the floor beams to the brick wall. Those old building are made with "mur de brique porteur" which means that the wall are very thick and they support the beams.

Posted by nostra-YOUPPI! 7/13/2006 5:29 PM | remove   yeah a lot of older buildings when the brick started to fail were beefed up with beams or rods and the disks like this were added look at fort lennox Posted by maZe 7/13/2006 8:38 PM | remove   The idea of those things was to reinforce the structure and have it resist gravity (exterior brick walls sometimes take the pressure of the building by curbing to the outside). This and the old "S" supports were made to prevent the exterior walls from curving and therefore affecting badly the structure. Posted by maZe 7/13/2006 8:39 PM | remove   In this pic, if you look closely, you'll see the supports are directly ligned to be in the center of the structural columns of the building (easy to see with the roof line) If you'd like to add a comment, please login or register.
