Structure Engineer – Building Diagnosis and Structural Calculation
Structure engineer specialized in the diagnosis of existing structures and structural calculation, I support individuals, architects, project managers, and companies in analyzing, verifying, and securing their projects.
I intervene particularly on existing buildings (masonry, reinforced concrete, metal, wood, and mixed structures), including old buildings and Haussmannian constructions, to assess their structural behavior and propose appropriate technical solutions.
My missions cover:
Structural diagnosis and analysis of pathologies (cracks, collapses, deformations, structural modifications).
Verification of load-bearing walls and feasibility of openings.
Load calculations and verification of the load-bearing capacity of existing structures.
Modeling and numerical simulations using specialized software such as Robot Structural Analysis and Graitec OMD.
Design of reinforced concrete and metal structures according to Eurocodes.
Writing calculation notes and technical reports with recommendations (repair, reinforcement, or structural adaptation).
Accustomed to working in coordination with the various project stakeholders, I intervene with a rigorous, educational, and solution-oriented approach to ensure the safety and durability of structures.
