Commercial Building Strengthened for Extra Storey, Ensuring Safety and Stability
This article discusses how a commercial building was evaluated and strengthened to support an additional storey. The researchers gathered information about the building, performed tests to assess its strength, and used software to analyze its ability to handle new loads. They selected retrofitting methods to strengthen weak areas, designed improvements, and compared costs. The study concluded that the building could safely accommodate the extra storey after the retrofitting was completed.
