System and method for dynamically bracing a buckling masonry wall
A system and method for supporting a buckled wall. The system positions a support structure adjacent the buckling wall in order to stop or diminish additional buckling. The support structure consists of a base beam that runs along the ground parallel to the wall. At least one lateral leg extends from the base beam to make a stable base. A vertical beam extends upwardly from the base. One or more jacks are used to tilt the base and the vertical beam toward the buckling wall. Contact braces are supported by the vertical beam. Each of the contact braces has a faceplate that can be individually adjusted into contact with the buckling wall. The faceplates can articulate and match the angle of the wall where contacted.
