| Abstract: |
In dense urban environments like New York City, structures are constantly erected on lot lines and abutting existing, often historic, structures. Renovations and new construction adjacent to older lot line structures are especially challenging and risky. The need for protecting adjacent properties during construction operations is hence necessary. Instrumental to this effort are structural evaluations and monitoring of the structures adjacent to construction sites. This paper will discuss the strict requirements for structural evaluation and specific assessment techniques for buildings adjacent to construction sites in New York City and internationally. |
