Abstract: A method for reinforcing building structures enables to obtain a reinforcing coating through the steps of: anchoring resistant film (2) of composite material to a building structure (s) to be reinforced and superposing onto the resistant film (2) an elastic film (8) at least partially uncoupled from the resistant film (2), in such a way that the elastic film (8) can be deformed and slide tangentially relative to the resistant film (2).

Abstract: A protective panel includes an inner surface (7) proximate to a body to be protected and an outer surface (8) distal from the body. Between the inner and outer surface (7, 8) is housed a multi-layer structure (2) constituted by at least one layer of ceramic material (3) and/or aluminum and at least one layer of fabric (4) with high resistance against perforation, coupled to each other by an adhesive layer (5) made of elastic material.

Abstract: An impact-resistant furniture item includes a load-bearing structure (2), having a support function for the furniture item (1), and an elastic layer (11) associated to the load-bearing structure and co-operating therewith to achieve an absorption and/or a dissipation of energy following deformations of the furniture item. The elastic layer is superposed to an inner surface of the load-bearing structure and it is at least partially uncoupled therefrom so that the elastic layer can be deformed and slide relative to the load-bearing structure. A method for manufacturing the furniture item includes the steps of readying the load-bearing structure, readying anchoring element (16) on the load-bearing structure, and applying an elastic layer of polyurea on at least one inner surface (12) of the load-bearing structure, preferably by spraying, so that the applied polyurea is also laid on the anchoring element (16) and remains stably connected to the load-bearing structure by effect of the anchoring element.
