Dragos Bogdan – Reference projects at AEDIFICIA MP
Justice Palace in Bucharest – Rehabilitation project (1998-1999)
 The structure is executed with monumental masonry elements (columns with 2x2 m), reinforced
concrete thin slabs over steel beams and a monumental wood roof. The building is divided in 7
independent wings and inside has some historic protected mural paintings.
Duties:
 Modelling, designing and optimising the strength structure according to Romanian standards and
normative in force and searching and implementing a rehabilitation solution that not affect the mural
paintings;
 The solution agreed by the authorities was to build 7 reinforced concrete cores inside interior courts of
the building connecting them with reinforced concrete flat slabs;
 Development of drawings, technical memorandums and technical specifications;
 Developed and implemented special details for reinforced concrete and steel elements.
Catalytic cracking reactor’s steel strength structure – Rehabilitation project (1998-1999)
 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 first rehabilitation project was needed because the beneficiary wanted to
change the existing reactor (at that time) with a new one and the Romanian
seismic standard experienced some improvements toward the one from year
1965;
Duties:
 Modelling the strength structure, designing and optimising the rehabilitation
system according to Romanian standards and normative in force at that time;
 Studied and developed the rehabilitation solution using a tuned mass damper
at the top of the structure;
 Development of drawings, technical memorandums and technical
specifications;
 Developed and implemented special details for mounting the tuned mass
damper on the strength structure.
