Seismic design is at the core of our structural expertise. Our experience guarantees clarity and simplicity in the load resisting system and consequently economical and structurally sound structures.\
At the conceptional design stage, we place special attention in the following essential characteristics:
- Clear and simple structural layout.
- Symmetry, uniformity, and regularity of mass and stiffness both in plan and elevation.
- Αdequate torsional stiffness.
- Continuity of force paths and redundancy of the system.
- Sound foundation system that enhances the seismic performance of the structure.
Following the conceptual design is the modeling and optimization of the structural system along with the detail design and dimensioning. We can design as per European, American, New Zealand, and other standards. At the detail design stage, we pay special attention to ductility requirements capacity design requirements. Finally, we try to standardize the beam and column sections in order to reduce the total construction cost.
