Building repair is all of the processes of increasing the strength of damaged building parts by using certain methods and increasing them to the prescribed safety level. In the event that the whole building or some structural elements of a building are damaged for any reason, building retrofitting is usually carried out in addition to building repair.
If the building is very old and there is damage to its structural elements due to age, if there has been an earthquake and some damage has occurred in the building, if the building has been damaged due to liquefaction, slippage, settlement on the ground on which the building is located, it is determined whether the building can be repaired as a result of some examinations in the building. If the building can be saved by repairing and then strengthening, these methods are applied.
For building repair, each building should be evaluated in its own way. In other words, unique solutions should be developed and applied for each building without standardizing the issue of building repair. With the repair to be made in the building, it is generally aimed to increase the strength of the building and bring it to the point where it should be. Repairs can be made if some elements of the building are damaged and have the required lateral stiffness. Determination of these criteria is provided by the examinations of technical staff such as engineers or architects. The examinations to be carried out by these technical staff include procedures such as examining projects and reports, extracting existing surveys, determining the condition and properties of the building's reinforcement materials.
Building Repair Service
Building repair includes building element repair, regional repair, repair operations on building sections such as beams, columns, slabs or sections such as roofs, according to the decision made after the inspection of the building. These operations should be carried out by adhering to the general repair principle. The general repair principle is that the horizontal stiffness distribution of the structure should not change. Oftek Construction has been providing this service for many years in building repair and we work extremely meticulously in our business. Keeping you in safe structures is our most basic principle.
Operations performed in building repair; repair of structural elements such as beams and columns using steel profiles or slats, repair of cracks in structural elements by filling them with resin or cement mortar injection, repair of masonry structures by pressurized spraying of cement, sand and water mixture concrete on the wall or curtain repair, reinforced concrete or steel jacketing, jacketing method with reinforced composite materials, reinforcement of stirrups using carbon strips.
