The project involves the strengthening of a six-storey reinforced concrete building with a soft ground floor in Neo Iraklio, Athens. The building had suffered significant damage at its foundation system and at the ground floor level, due to settlement. The retrofit scheme included the foundation strengthening with strip footings, the strengthening of the pilotis members with shotcrete jackets, and the increase of the global strength and stiffness of the building with the construction of new shear walls in its perimeter, along the entire height.
The interventions works were carried out between November 2022 and April 2023.
