The lack of compliance with seismic standards in structures is a problem that affects the safety of people. In this article, the importance of seismic regulations in the design and calculation of industrial and logistics buildings is discussed, and how it can help to improve the safety of structures against a possible earthquake.

The lack of compliance with seismic standards in the structures is unfortunate. We all deeply regret the recent human damage in #Syria and #Turkey, which is dramatic from a humanitarian point of view and should never happen. However, it also happens here.

Sometimes, the lack of compliance with seismic regulations in our demarcations is unfortunate, and it continues to occur for commercial or economic reasons, prioritizing construction costs.

We recently lost the award for the construction of a 6,000 m² logistics warehouse, since the project did not take seismic regulations into account, and we proposed an alternative technical and economic solution that complied with these regulations. By proposing a solution that contemplated the forecast of lateral displacements at the head of the pillars in the event of seismic acceleration, according to the standard and taking into account the data on the deformability of the ground according to a geotechnical study, our proposal turned out to be economically higher than the solution of the competition without consideration of seismic.

We have lost an important work for us, but in our company culture we prioritize technical solutions and the safety of buildings and people over commercial competitiveness at any price, and we are proud of it.

Fortunately, we are in a region where high-magnitude earthquakes are unlikely, although if they occur they can cause significant material and personal damage, as occurred in Italy in 2016 with an earthquake measuring 6.2 on the Richter scale (ML). , which caused 290 fatalities.

In the same way that the actions of wind or snow are taken into account, it is necessary to apply the Euro code 8 EN 1998 and the NCSE-02 earthquake-resistant construction standard, for the design and calculation of structures for resistance to earthquakes. .

In the design and calculation of industrial and logistics buildings, it is also necessary to consider the earthquake hypothesis, observing the data for basic seismic acceleration (ab), dimensionless risk coefficient (ρ), contribution coefficient (K) depending on the location of the building and the coefficient of amplification of the ground (S) determined according to the coefficient of ground (C) by its classification (I to IV) according to its deformability or rigidity, and which affects the speed of propagation of the waves and which is determined through in situ tests of an adequate geotechnical study and its subsequent calculations.

In cases of calculation in seismic zones, in addition to compliance with the calculation, the design criteria have a significant impact on the seismic behavior of the structures. Thus, in the symmetry of the structures, the distributed arrangement of the pillars embedded in the base that contribute to the absorption of horizontal forces with distribution of forces, are important factors.

Another very relevant aspect for the behavior in the earthquake in the design phase is the reduction of the mass in the facades and enclosures of the building and the reduction of the height of the center of mass if possible.

Conceptually, we can simplify the horizontal stresses with the well-known basic formula of Newton's second law as F = m a, and thus reducing the mass with different building materials and lowering the center of mass with the composition architecture of the facades, we substantially improve the horizontal forces and the seismic behavior of the buildings.

With our integrated turnkey engineering and construction teams, we can help you grow, providing the best technical solutions for your new industrial spaces, without deviations in cost or execution time, as in the project recently completed successfully in #Béziers (France), intended for leasing for small industrial or service companies.

From the project to the work, with the same precision and rigor, they are the basis for a good execution of the work on the ground.

We are proud of our Engineering, Technical Office and Work Execution teams that, working in a coordinated manner as a single team, manage to materialize the project on site, without unforeseen events or technical deviations, transferring the planning in the project phase to the execution on site according to the expected deadlines.

Through the vertical integration of the entire process of design and execution of works, we ensure the continuous flow of design and execution of works, from the initial problems of our clients to the start-up of their facilities.

Engineering oriented to the Works and Industrial Construction with engineering DNA to solve as the only interlocutor the growth projects of our clients, from their initial problems to the implementation of the final operational solution.

Do you have problems coping with the growth of your industrial or logistics plant? Don’t know where to start? Are there too many variables or interlocutors? Don’t you know how to accurately identify what your needs may be or don’t know what the best solution is to implement them?

We can help you by providing a comprehensive solution from start to finish.

Through this new engineering and construction project in Maresme (Barcelona), we are helping our client to optimize its operating area by expanding its industrial assembly and storage facilities, seeking maximum occupancy and buildability, with the greatest possible flexibility and connected to its current facilities.

We do this by constructing a two-story annex building with a metallic structure and collaborating floor, and incorporating a loading dock to increase turnover and provide a reduction in loading and unloading process times.

At EGEIN we believe in safety in the execution of works from the design phase.

An example of this is the pre-assembly of life lines in the structure, avoiding risks of work at height during the assembly process of the roof structure.

Our main objective is zero accidents in our construction sites and facilities.

We began the deconstruction and disassembly works of an industrial machinery manufacturing plant, which has recently suffered a fire due to fortuitous causes, for its subsequent reconstruction of the plant and facilities.

Being a sudden and unforeseen accident, it has generated as a consequence a serious problem in the operation of the industrial activity and the short and medium term commitments of our client. To help solve your daily operations, our teams have been involved from the outset, initially in technical analysis and diagnosis, study of the necessary reconstruction solution and urgent license management, also managing adaptation and licenses in a provisional space under lease to maintain the operations of our client during the execution of the reconstruction works.

Through the involvement of our teams and the comprehensive engineering and construction service, we are providing a comprehensive solution as a single interlocutor and as a matter of urgency, to adapt and reduce reconstruction times and to be able to minimize the impact of this incident, at the same time We must be agile in responding to the construction and installation needs necessary to be able to recover and improve the industrial activity of our client in the shortest possible time.

Despite the seriousness of an accident of these characteristics and dimensions, it should be noted positively, first of all, that there was no impact on the health or integrity of any person, internal or external, nor did it generate any kind of material damage to adjoining buildings, as it is a type C building.

Secondly, the operation of the ship’s passive fire safety, designed and built by EGEIN 25 years ago, is positively noteworthy, and that despite the spectacularity and dimension of the incident, it only affected the production sector, maintaining the integrity of the set of annexed offices on two floors, which can continue to operate normally, while the reconstruction of the affected industrial area is carried out.

Our multidisciplinary teams continue to work with maximum involvement and efficiency to meet our client’s planning objectives.

We started a new turnkey industrial construction project in Vilablareix (Girona), according to the planned schedule and without any deviation in project deadlines and works execution.

Our team gets involved as part of our client’s team, when we understand their urgent growth challenge as our own to be able to develop their new projects.

Proof of this is that after a first consultation and technical meeting at the end of last October, we have respected our commitment to start the execution of works at the beginning of January, having been able to define, optimize and develop the technical project and obtain licenses. for the new building in record time.

Our multidisciplinary teams continue to work with maximum involvement and efficiency to meet our client’s planning objectives.
