The project consists of local interventions to decrease the seismic risk in 17 building complex of the vocational secondary schools in Chalkida. The complex has a total area of approximately 17,000 m². The interventions primarily consisted of the repair of several ground floor infilled walls that had suffered significant damage due to soil settlement of the ground slab. At the same time, local interventions were conducted on various structural and non-structural members to mitigate seismic risk (e.g. repairs against corrosion with repair mortars and corrosion inhibitors, demolition of walls with concrete cutting, demolition and reconstruction of infilled walls with severe damage and strengthening of columns and beams with FRP wrapping or RC jackets).
The interventions took place between May and November 2023 and the budget amount to 500.000€
