Strengthening of a 5-storey hotel

This section showcases complete structural models, categorized by the software used for their development (SeismoBuild or SeismoStruct). You can download the project files for each model and open them directly in the corresponding software on your computer to explore the modeling process, parameter settings, and analysis results firsthand.

This is a 5-storey existing building that is being used as a hotel. The building was built in the early 1970’s and, apart small and lightly reinforced members, it features significant deficiencies (significant lack of stirrups) at the ground floor level. The strengthening scheme involved new shear walls and RC jackets. Two SeismoBuild models are provided. For the original and the strengthened structure. The model was created by Alfakat S.A.
