Structure Assessment
A structural assessment is normally the consequence of the detection of a major structural or functional deficiency during a routine or detailed inspection.
Structural assessments are performed to ensure structures meet all applicable building codes related to structural integrity. Conditions assessments look for signs of potential structural issues or problems with building maintenance that could lead to failures. Methods for condition assessment of existing buildings include:
ACI-318 - Building Code Requirements for Structural Concrete and Commentary
American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) – Guideline for Structural Condition Assessment of Existing Buildings
ISO 13822 – Bases for design of structures — Assessment of existing structures
ASTM E2018-08 Standard Guide for Property Condition Assessments: Baseline Property Condition Assessment Process
Site Inspection
Before starting any strengthening or repair works, our engineers inspect the site on its nature and identify structural defects that threaten the integrity of the structure.
During the visual inspection, we may perform some necessary tests such as concrete core test, Hammering, depth of carbonation, ultra-sonic pulse velocity (UPV) and others.
After that, we create analytical models and technical reports to evaluate the current situation of the structure and its necessary repairs.
