Building 22a (5-storey, 1.925,00 m2) and building 28 (8-storey, 4.800,00 m2) of Attikon University General Hospital in Athens were constructed in the early-90s as dual (beams to frame and shear walls) reinforced concrete systems according to the first edition of the modern Greek Seismic Code without the provision of a new floor.
Evaluation and Seismic Retrofit of the existing buildings as well as the Addition of two new steel floors were designed by EBLECTON according to the recent (2012) Greek Code for Structural Interventions and the relevant part 3 of Eurocode 8.
Nonlinear methods of Analysis (mainly of pushover type) were performed and the below retrofitting techniques were designed via optimization:
- CFRP-wrapping
- Steel-jacketing to confine boundary elements of shear walls
These design works began in November 2010 and fully submitted and approved in January 2011.
