Client requirement
Lifting and strengthening responded to changed ground levels and repair needs while preserving the historic building's main appearance and spatial form.
Engineering challenge
Complex damage to the walls, mortar and structure required conservation requirements to be coordinated with construction-stage force control.
Technical approach
The Architectural Design and Research Institute of Southeast University designed the repairs; Dongnan carried out construction. Computer-based stress and strain monitoring supported lifting before structural strengthening.
Project value
The project combined collaborative design, whole-building lifting and monitoring in historic-building repair.
