Assessment of structural integrity of G+2 storied old building for vertical expansion through Non Destructive and Semi Destructive testing and Design Analysis’
This document summarizes a study that assessed the structural integrity of a 46-year-old educational building to determine if it could support a vertical expansion. Non-destructive and semi-destructive testing methods were used to evaluate the condition of the building's concrete and reinforcement. Structural analysis software was also used to model the existing structure and analyze it under expected loads from the proposed expansion. The results found some columns required strengthening and repairs were needed for cracks and dampness. Based on the findings, recommendations included jacketing columns, using lightweight materials, and repair techniques to ensure the structural integrity and safety of expanding the building vertically. The methodology provided a comprehensive way to preserve historic structures while adapting them for contemporary needs.
