Arçelik Washing Machine Facility’s Earthquake Risk Mitigation
Arçelik Washing Machine Facility’s Earthquake Risk Mitigation
The facility, supported by prefabricated cantilever columns and primarily containing robotic manufacturing systems, employed approximately 4,500 people working in three shifts per day. To prevent business interruption during retrofitting, the client requested an investigation into suitable innovative retrofitting alternatives. The services provided included a site-specific seismic hazard analysis report and a high-performance earthquake engineering retrofitting design utilizing energy-dissipating friction dampers, “far-distance” soil improvement to counter liquefaction, cost analysis, and planning and budgeting
