The splint and bandage technique for masonry buildings provides

  • A.an entirely new frame built inside the existing walls to carry the roof loads
  • B.vertical strips at corners and horizontal bands around the walls
  • C.a continuous reinforced concrete slab cast over the whole of the existing roof
  • D.diagonal steel bracing fixed across the inside face of every external wall

Answer: B

The splints reinforce the corners and jambs where cracking begins, and the bandages tie the walls together into a box that can act as a unit. Both are applied on the surface, which suits buildings whose walls cannot be opened up.
