Slabs and beams after repair
Make OR Break Factor
No structural drawings or details were available and the building was on a main road, making passerby safety extremely risky but equally important.
THE CHALLENGE :
- A mixed-use complex was suffering water leakage in the terrace slab, that had further snowballed into steel corrosion, concrete de-lamination and reduction in reinforcement size.
THE ODDS :
- Certain portions of the slab had already collapsed due to heavy corrosion.
- Care had to be taken regarding building and occupant safety, while restoring the remaining portion
OUR RESPONSE :
- Due to unavailability of original structural drawings, the structural details were re-analyzed
- The structural shortfall was analyzed as per the prevailing code
- Curative measures were taken for corrosion, while the damaged concrete sections were patched up and the structural elements externally reinforced
