Project's Description

The strengthening is based on the new regulations, particularly on the KAN.EPE (the greek structural guidelines for building restorations). The project was the first high-rise building constructed in Athens in the early '50s. Proffessors K. BIRIS (Arch.) and P. LADOPOULOS (Stat.) were the original consultants. The building has been characterized as a "listed building" by the Ministry of Culture. All the proposed interventions were drawn from a PUSH-OVER, non-linear static analysis. The identification of the structural system preceded the analysis, due to insufficient structural element information. The study was carried out in collaboration with OMETE & PARTNERS S.A.
