STRUCTURAL ASSESSMENT AND STRENGTHENING DESIGN

Reinforced concrete structures in Arabian Peninsula are exposed to one of the most aggressive environments in the world, leading to premature deterioration and reduced service life of the structures. Factors such as saline groundwater, high humidity, and chemical exposure contribute to early aging and degradation if left unaddressed. Research indicates that the cost of remediation significantly escalates once defects become visible.

CDE provide expertise in the field of structural assessment, include modelling, analysis and strength evaluation of existing structures. Strengthening of structures is needed for restoration of deteriorated structural elements to originally intended capacity or to carry additional loads. CDE bring expertise in strengthening existing element with both modern (Carbon Fiber) and conventional (steel plates, concrete enlargements) techniques along with specifying the relevant performance specifications, to implement a respective strengthening plan with best QA/QC procedures.
