Structural Safety Assessment
Critical Column Analysis: Perform detailed stress calculations on identified critical columns to determine their load-bearing capacity and adequacy.
Overall Structural Evaluation
Conduct a cursory calculation of column working stress to assess overall structural performance
Concrete Assessment
- Inspect for cracks on major structural elements
- Evaluate concrete spalling on slabs
- Assess water damage caused by dampness and water ingress
Load Analysis
- Review existing load plan and identify discrepancies
- Account for the impact of multiple water tanks on the roof.
Structural Modifications
- Evaluate the impact of vertical extensions and additional steelwork on the roof
- Assess the adequacy of the roof drainage system
- Evaluate the structural implications of the fire steel staircase and non-engineered fire escape ladders
Building Envelope
- Inspect for cracks on the façade
- Assess the condition of exposed reinforcement and the absence of anti-rust paint
- Evaluate the lack of handrails and edge protection
General Structural Condition
- Identify and document minor hairline cracks in structural elements
- Inspect roof bracing for tightness
DEA/DESIGN REPORT
- Data Collection gather required documents, including master layout plan, as-built architectural and structural drawings, and material testing reports.
- Architectural Drawing detailed floor plans, elevations, sections, and roof plans.
- Structural Drawing design of beams, columns, slabs, and load- bearing walls
- Structural Modeling develop a detailed structural model of the building using appropriate software
- Load Calculations calculate live, dead, and other relevant loads acting on the structure
- Structural Analysis perform structural analysis to determine internal forces, stresses, and deflections
- Design Calculations design necessary structural reinforcements or modifications based on analysis results
- Floor Load Plan prepare a revised floor load plan considering the building's actual usage and occupancy
