Assessment of Existing Concrete Buildings
Key Engineering Materials, 2011Assessment of concrete strength in existing structures is a very fundamental task today, because the mechanical characteristics are strictly connected to seismic protection and performance estimation of the material. To this aim, several compression tests has been carried out on drilled core samples in conjunction with different NDT methods.

This chapter is dedicated to the modernisation process of existing buildings aiming to achieve the nearly zero-energy standard. The process is described from the designer's perspective. Related issues, requirements, constraints, design options, and local determinants are analysed, and optimal architectural solutions for selected case studies are also ...

Remodeling can be a frustrating, even traumatic, experience, particularly when construction costs exceed budget and the targeted completion date slowly slips by. Yet, with the escalation of land values and inflated construction costs, more and more building owners and facilities managers are turning to remodeling.

Building Information Model for Existing Buildings for Facilities Management
International Journal of 3-D Information Modeling, 2016The use of Building information modelling for the design and construction phase of a building has been thoroughly looked into by researchers and practitioners and there is evidence to support that it is beneficial for reducing cost, time and improving communication.

Perspectives on decarbonisation of existing buildings in Europe
Renewable EnergyDecarbonisation of existing buildings is necessary to meet European Union commitments to achieve net zero GHG emissions by 2050. There is no single decarbonisation solution because European buildings are diverse, have different uses and are in different climatic regions.

a disused power station is converted into a cultural centre, an old barn is made into a residential house. All around us we encounter buildings whose original purpose has rendered them obsolete, and which now offer space for new uses. The construction and building requirements confronting the architect are as varied and individual as the buildings ...

EVALUATION AND RECONSTRUCTION WORKS ON EXISTING BUILDINGS
2004When in an existing building comes to change in its use or doubts exist in its safety often comes a question if the strengthening is worth wile or is it easier to completely demolish it and build a new one. In order to answer the question we need to evaluate its structural state in order to choose the oprimal strengthening technology and consequently ...
