Climbing on the existing structure and analysis of the whole structure

[aksualigurbuz]

Good work to everyone. I encountered a problem. There is an existing 8-storey building and this building wants to get a license. However, it wants to get its license over 16 floors. The municipality gave permission for this. naturally, the building has to be considered as 16 floors. In this case, the first thing that came to my mind is the earthquake code 7th section, but the 7th section is based on the evaluation of the existing structures. If I had only checked the existing building, I would have implemented the 7th section, but since it requires the design on the upper floors, there is no such thing as: I had to find a solution. After making the necessary experimental studies from the building according to the principles of 7., I will do the modeling by adding the upper floors over the new architecture. Afterwards, using the values obtained from the deeys for 8 floors above me in total, 16 floors, and for the other floors, using the design values and performing a performance analysis. If there is a reinforcement as a result, making additions and adding sheathing or curtains to the old structure, and for the upper floors, enlarging the sections or adding curtains to perform the performance analysis again. however, the following question comes to my mind. Besides all these, do I need to make a design calculation and evaluate it accordingly. What kind of method should I follow in such a case. I would appreciate it if you could evaluate the issue within the framework of the zoning regulation. Good work.
