The cement distribution center of the Lafarge Group “Aget-Heracles” cement plant in Rio, at the northern Peloponnese, was built in the 1970s with reinforced concrete.
It comprises two cement silos, which are separated by an expansion joint.
The building complex of the cement distribution center, consists of two independent buildings – separated by an “expansion joint”.
The higher building is 30m high, while the other is two floors lower.
The “load-bearing” structure of both buildings, is framework type from reinforced concrete columns and beams, without shear walls. Between successive columns and slabs there are “infill-walls” made of “cement” bricks.
During the earthquake of 2009, the building complex was damaged, mainly on the upper floors, and an “earthquake resistance” rehabilitation and strengthening solution was suggested without interrupting the operation of the cement distribution center.
The solution provided:
The work lasted about three months and was combined with architectural refinement of the buildings’ exterior views.
