Solve World’s Problem of the Old City Reconstruction: earthquake disaster is relieved by the building structure with rigid and soft shock isolation, damping and absorption system.
——Write for Lu Jianheng----senior civil engineer，who own American, Chinese and English patent and made outstanding contribution.
Born in a civil engineering family, Mr. Lu Jianheng----whose father was Lu Yunshan, a distinguished Chinese railway civil engineer----has contributed greatly to our country.
Now, Mr. Lu Jianheng is the senior engineer in Beijing Taizhong Anti-earthquake Technological Application Corp, Ltd. During the ten years, he has made outstanding contribution and obtained plentiful fruit through hard work and has overcome many difficulties in the process of resolving the reconstruction problem of many old city buildings. The problem is encountered both in China and in other countries all over the world.
In the hundreds of years past, the only way to renew and rebuild the buildings inhabited for decades was removal and rebuilding, which has not only wasted trillions of capital and also brought about many social problems of migration.
What’s more important, during the removal and rebuilding, much architectural waste has seriously polluted the ecological environment around the cities. Now, a contemporary Chinese technical expert has finally conquered this century-lasting global problem.
Lu Jianheng invented the advanced technical theory and technique of “structure of adding layers to low-layer buildings for anti-earthquake” and “rigid and soft shock isolation, damping and absorption system. Using his theory and technique, “ many buildings inhabited for decades have been saved without removing inhabitants or removal of building (old buildings still been used) by adding more than 6 to 14 layers to the old constructions, after which, the buildings can be used as new ones and be inhabited permanently.
This original advanced technique in the world not only solves the technical problem of rebuilding the old cities, which has lasted for hundreds of years, saves plenty of ploughland, protects the ecological environment from the pollution of the construction waste, but also reduces the project expense by 30%-60%, compared with the traditional method of removal and reduces the construction time by half.
After more than ten years’ practice of this original advanced technology, successful experiences have been obtained through the renewal and rebuilt of the University of CPC, the Second Rest House of the State Department, the townhouse of Nan Yang as well as De Zhou, the Machinery Factory of Bao Ji and Beijing Normal University.
The most outstanding advantage of Mr. Lu Jianheng’s invention is also the key point in the technique to solve the problem of renewal of the old buildings. It also marks the changeover in the world’s architectural history from the traditional rigid anti-earthquake structure to that of rigid and soft shock isolation, damping and absorption system.
He ingeniously applies the theory of shock absorption and damping between piers and tiles used in railroad bridge building to the construction system. What’s special is his advanced technique of vibration absorption, which can effectively reduce the loss of life and property of people and country during earthquakes.
Through twenty years’ theoretical research and technical invention, Mr. Lu Jianheng has finally solved the global puzzle, which had troubled the world for hundreds of years.
He gained many patents in China, and his theory and technique has been recognized by America and Britain and awarded patent right in these counties. That proves that the original technology was invented by Chinese technicians. Following the Four Great Invention in Chinese history, Chinese contemporary technicians have contributed their intelligent to the world again.
Mr. Lu Jianheng’s invention now is listed as an important project to be generalized in Beijing and awarded the patent of state health-living demonstration project of the State Construction Department.
This new technology has approved by the State Construction Department and listed as first batch of Generalized Application Technology of the State Construction Department and was recommended to whole country. For responding the recommendation of the State Construction Department, Chinese Architectural Standard & Design Research Institute listed this technology as Technical Measures of National Civil Construction Design for producing great productivity in national economic construction and development and making more great contribution.

The technique of “Anti-earthquake adding layer structure in low layer building” and “the structure with rigid and soft shock isolation, damping and absorption system” invented by a plain engineer Lu Jianheng, after being publicized for 17 years, has finally been approved by the State Construction Department as a advanced technique to be recommended to the whole country.
Lu Jianheng, a senior civil engineer now, is extremely happy that his set of advanced technique can finally make contributions to the renewal of China’s old cities.
In the last hundreds’ years, the only way to renew and rebuild the old city buildings was removal and rebuilding, which had not only wasted greatly but also brought about much pollution to the ecological environment.
Aiming at solving this problem, Mr. Lu Jianheng, born in a family of civil engineering, has researched for many years and finally found a set of methods---“Anti-earthquake adding layer structure in low layer building” and “the structure with rigid and soft shock isolation, damping and absorption system”
By this method, the old buildings, which are normally 2-6 layers high, can be added to 8-20 layers high or more without removing inhabitants or removal of building.
Compared with the traditional removal method, this layer-adding technique can not only save the project expense by 30%-60%, reduce the construction time by half but also effectively reduce the pollution of construction waste to the ecological environment.
It can be said that this technique successfully solves the global problem of the renewal of old city buildings.
In 1988, both People’s Daily and Xinhua Daily reported this technique with the title of “Engineer Lu Jianheng solves the global problem of the renewal of old city buildings.”
In the ten years, this original advanced technology in the world has not only been awarded many patents in China, America and Britain, but also obtained successful experiences through the renewal and reconstruction of the University of CPC, the Second Rest House of the State Department, the townhouse of Nan Yang as well as De Zhou, the Machinery Factory of Bao Ji and Beijing Normal University.
Lu Jianheng said that this technology had been listed and generalized firstly to the country and that it would greatly boost the spread of the new technique and the renewal of old cities of the country.
