Client requirement
Work addressed local wall, column and beam issues identified after completion of the main residential structure.
Engineering challenge
Different members required different treatments, with structural stress transfer coordinated during replacement.
Technical approach
Shear walls and beams underwent staged replacement; frame columns received steel encasement. Computer-based strain-controlled beam and column underpinning supported stress transfer.
Project value
This project illustrates member-specific strengthening coordinated with construction-stage force transfer. An associated patent belongs to an individual expert; project application and patent ownership are distinct.
