Engineering Evaluation

in #structural7 years ago

When an existing structure will change its Occupancy or whenever the structure will be modified to fit its new use, the Structural Engineer will sit down to recalculate the existing structure base on As-built plan or base on actual measurement of the site when the As-built plan is not available. Assumption on materials strength can be made to facilitate the evaluation and then compare it with the actual strength base on sample test gathered on the structure.
