Structural Assessment For the Building The
NCCLR perform the structural assessment for damaged building by presenting
consultancies to solve the structural problems of these buildings, such as
:
1- Damage of concrete & reinforcement caused by attacked of
sulphate & salts, or damage by bombing & earthquiq. 2- Damaged
building caused by water flow under foundations (Swelling & shrinkage
of Soils)
The structural assessment depends upon tests made on the
damaged buildings according to the nature of the structural problems:
These tests are: - Core Test - Ultrasonic Pulse Velocity
(UPV) - Schmidt Hammer Test - Half Cell Potential -
Carbonation Test - Cracks Width - Pull Out Test - X-Ray Test
for Welding - Load Test - Detecting defects in metal using
solutions - Measuring Thickness of Concrete Cover - Measuring
Thickness of Corrosion - Measuring Diameter of Steel Bar -
