| Abstract: |
The paper covers the seismic evaluation and upgrading of an existing 20 - storey hotel building for compliance with a peak ground acceleration of 0.4g in the city of Istanbul. The assignment was performed by SECO. It was finalised only recently and lasted for about 6 years. The implementation of the strengthening design into an operating hotel proved to be an exciting challenge. The standard storey area of the building is about 35.000 m². The building’s structure comprises an (in plan view) S-shaped classical reinforced concrete frame of beams, columns and slabs, divided by 2 joints in 3 independent blocks, but disturbed by the presence of some major irregularities.
