This study concerns the evaluation of the seismic behavior of a four-story reinforced concrete building in Vouliagmeni, Athens. The building was constructed in the early 1970s without seismic design standards, it has an area of 2,000 m² approximately and it had suffered significant damage due to settlement caused by the general excavation of the neighboring plot.
The study was conducted in 2023, and for the seismic evaluation and the strengthening of the building’s members non-linear static and dynamic analyses were performed using the SeismoStruct software. These analyses examined the building’s seismic behavior with and without the influence of the settlement. The restoration and strengthening of specific structural elements that had suffered the most severe damage were proposed, as well as the repair of all cracks in the infill walls.
