Case study regarding evaluation and consolidation of buildings infrastructure

Abstract

Rehabilitation solutions in terms of increasing the footing dimensions and foundation depth can be established by correlating the present soil parameters with the new loading conditions. Following the Eurocodes provisions, the evaluation of the geotechnical conditions of the existing buildings, results in stronger restrictions than the ones of previous norms. The paper presents a case study on correlating increased footings with natural soil conditions while rehabilitation regards the entire building.
