Istanbul, Turkey 

Comprehensive review and verification of structural calculations for a major waterfront development project encompassing multiple building types and complex structural systems. The review covered piled foundation systems in challenging soil conditions, post-tensioned slab structures, large-span spaces utilizing Vierendeel girder systems, strengthening strategies for historic structures within the complex, and conventional reinforced concrete buildings. The scope required verification of diverse structural systems and construction methods, assessment of complex load paths, and evaluation of interventions to historic fabric within a larger contemporary development.
