In Turkey, a significant portion of the building stock dates back to pre-existing building codes and precast concrete systems. Therefore, the evaluation and, if possible, strengthening of existing structures have become increasingly important in terms of life safety, environmental control, and cost considerations.

Following the performance assessment defined by regulations, once it is determined whether a building is suitable for strengthening, the strengthening project is initiated. Strengthening can be applied either by evacuating the building locally or by implementing measures while the building is still in use, depending on its function. Strengthening projects should include specific details tailored to each structure and its vulnerability.

At Arkhe Structural Design, we strive to provide efficient and sustainable solutions in the field of strengthening using both traditional and advanced methods. We employ a variety of techniques to evaluate the existing structures, such as visual inspections, non-destructive testing, and structural analysis, to determine their current condition and identify potential weaknesses. Based on this assessment, we develop customized strengthening strategies and designs that address the specific needs and vulnerabilities of each structure.

By leveraging our expertise in structural engineering and utilizing innovative techniques and materials, we aim to enhance the resilience and safety of existing buildings, contributing to the longevity and sustainability of the built environment.
