Masonry Construction Remedial Measures in Case of a Multi-Story Housing Facility Caused by Floor Extension Process

This paper presents remedial measures of a multi story housing facility located in Novi Sad, Serbia. The analyzed building was built in traditional masonry construction with precast rib ceiling including unreinforced slab. The damage was caused after the floor extension (overbuilding) process of the existing facility, expressed through cracks on constructive walls. The cause of such damage is a non-analytical approach during upgrade. The work presents a case study of the applied measures at conditions when the material incorporated in the existing part of the building is not of adequate quality. The specificity of this recovery was that during the execution the flats’ users remained in their apartments.
