At Logos Mühendislik, we are experts in determining the safety and durability of your structures. With our experience and engineering expertise in the analysis and strengthening of existing structures, we work meticulously at every step.

When creating the mathematical models of our structures, we use internationally recognized software instead of the standard off-the-shelf programs commonly preferred in the market. This approach provides a broader perspective in the modeling process, enabling us to obtain stronger and more reliable results.

The analysis and strengthening of existing structures is the process of evaluating the structural condition of an existing building or structure and, when necessary, taking strengthening measures. This process generally takes into account the age of the structure, the materials used in its construction, existing damage, the intended use, and exposure to environmental effects. The main purpose of this process is to increase the durability of an existing structure and extend its service life. The analysis and strengthening of existing structures includes the following steps:

Inspection and Evaluation: A detailed inspection is carried out to determine the current condition of the structure. This may include steps such as visual inspection of structural elements, damage detection, sampling of structural materials, and laboratory tests.

Load Analysis: The loads acting on the structure (for example, snow, wind, earthquake) must be determined. This step is important for determining the load-bearing capacity of the structure.

Determining Strengthening Requirements: Based on the inspection of the structure and the results of the load analysis, strengthening requirements are identified. These include the measures needed to increase the load-bearing capacity of structural elements or to remedy existing damage.

Design of Strengthening Strategies: Based on the identified strengthening requirements, appropriate strengthening strategies are designed. These strategies include the selection of materials to be used for strengthening structural elements, connection details, and the techniques to be applied.

Implementation and Monitoring: The designed strengthening strategies are implemented, and the effectiveness of the changes made is monitored. This is important to ensure that the strengthening works are carried out correctly and that structural performance increases as expected.

Reporting and Documentation: Every stage of the strengthening process is documented and reported in detail. These reports are used as references for structure owners, managers, and other relevant parties, and are important for evaluating the effectiveness of the strengthening works.
