Abstract
The invention concerns a method for reinforcing a double-shell structure in which a cellular core (2) is arranged between a first shell (5) and a second shell (6). In the method according to the invention, at least one cavity is formed in the double-shell structure from an opening in the first shell into the cellular core (2) so that the cavity substantially extends through the cellular core (2) to the second shell. Fixative (8) is injected into the cavity. A stiff bar (7) is introduced into the cavity, whereupon excess fixative (8) is allowed to pass out of the cavity. Finally, the fixative left in the cavity is cured.
Claims5
A method for reinforcing a double-shell structure in which a cellular core is arranged between a first shell and a second shell, the method comprising the steps of:
- forming at least one cavity in the double-shell structure from an opening in the first shell into the cellular core so that the cavity substantially extends through the cellular core to the second shell, wherein the cellular core comprises a first and a second unit of the cellular core type that are arranged next to one another and joined by means of a glue joint, whereupon the cavity is arranged to extend through the first unit and into the second unit;
- injecting a fixative in the cavity;
- introducing an element into the cavity, whereupon excess fixative is forced to pass out through the opening and be removed;
- and
- curing the fixative left in the cavity.
