Ενίσχυση κτιρίων από οπλισμένο σκυρόδεμα

Abstract

This thesis mentions the characteristics of failures or damages of a building, the type and degree of them, as also some reasons which might cause them. It suggests some reinforcement or repair methods for reinforced concrete buildings, depending of the abovementioned factors. Repairs could be made in the whole building or on selected components, such as columns, beams, walls, slabs or foundations. When the engineer decides for a whole building reinforcement, antiseismic methods apply. The second part of thesis shows some required reinforcements for a current building, the “Saint Antonio’s Stoa”. Three new floors are going to construct in that structure, so the lower floors have to become stronger. By using the “3DR Strad” software, the affected components are defined to repair them. When we finished of the reinforcements, the program makes a check up on the strengthening control of the building, so we decide if those actions are good enough. The annexes are about the reports of the checks of the program and some construction drawings.
