Dragos Bogdan – Reference projects at POPP&ASOCIATII
Millennium Business Centre Bucharest – Rehabilitation project
 The building is 75 m tall, 4 basements and 20 superstructure levels
with a total area of 19500 m2;
 The strength structure is executed with European wide flange beams
and “Malta” cross sections for columns;
Duties:
 Modelling the strength structure, designing and optimising the
damping system using nonlinear viscous dampers (same system used
in TORRE MAYOR building from Mexico City);
 Accomplishing the optimisation of damping system through advanced
analysis: nonlinear static analysis (PUSHOVER) and nonlinear
dynamic analysis (TIME-HISTORY);
 Development of drawings, technical memorandums and technical
specifications;
 Developed and implemented special details for reinforced concrete
and steel elements;
 Prepared and provided technical specifications and tender documents.
Catalytic cracking reactor’s steel strength structure – Rehabilitation project (2011-2012)
 The strength structure is 43 m tall and has 2x1 bays of 6.05 m and is entirely
executed with American wide beams (the structure was raised in year 1965);
 This second rehabilitation project was needed because the beneficiary wants to
change the existing reactor technology with a new one and the Romanian
standards and normative changed radically in the last years;
Duties:
 Modelling the strength structure, designing and optimising the reinforcing system
using buckling restrained braced frames (beside this I have studied several
systems like: nonlinear viscous dampers, base isolation with lead rubber
bearings and friction pendulum bearings);
 Accomplishing the optimisation of rehabilitation system through advanced
analysis: nonlinear static analysis (PUSHOVER) and nonlinear dynamic analysis
(TIME-HISTORY);
 Development of drawings, technical memorandums and technical specifications;
 Developed and implemented special details for reinforced concrete (in
foundations) and steel elements of the strength structure.

Residential houses in Rosia Montana – rehabilitation projects (over 10 projects)
 The strength structures are executed from wood frames or masonry walls and all of them have wood
roofs.
Duties:
 Modelling and designing the strength structures and roofs according to Romanian standards and
normative in force;
 Development of drawings, technical memorandums and technical specifications;
 Prepared and provided technical specifications and tender documents.
