Project: Retrofitting the P34 Bridge, Abrisham Bridge, and Veresk Bridge Location: Sistan proviance, Ghaemshar

Project Period: 2012-2014

The bridge retrofitting project I worked on involved strengthening and upgrading the P34 Bridge, Abrisham Bridge, and Veresk Bridge using CFRP (Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer) systems and dampers. Here's a brief explanation of both:

CFRP System (Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer): CFRP is a high-strength, lightweight material commonly used in retrofitting infrastructure. For bridges, CFRP is applied as a reinforcing material to enhance the load-carrying capacity and durability of existing structures. It helps improve the tensile strength and flexural capacity of the bridge without adding significant weight.

Dampers:

Dampers are devices installed in structures to absorb and dissipate energy, especially during seismic events or high winds. In the context of bridge retrofitting, dampers reduce vibrations and oscillations, improving the structural stability and safety of the bridge. They are particularly useful in earthquake-prone regions. The combination of CFRP systems and dampers would have provided these bridges with enhanced resistance to seismic activity, wind forces, and other dynamic loads, extending their service life and improving overall safety.

Project: 144-Units Dentists Association of Tehran Province Location: Morvarid Highrise, Blvd Kohak, District 22, Tehran, Iran Project Period: 2011-2013

Scope: 22-story residential high-rise with 3 levels of parking and 18 residential floors Description: I designed the structural plans for this project, focusing on optimizing the design for cost and construction efficiency. The structure utilized concrete with shear walls. I also conducted inspections during the construction period to ensure compliance with design specifications.

Project: 4 Hospital with base isolation system

Location: Mashhad, Kermanshah province

Project Period: 2014-2016 I designed a base isolation system for several hospitals to enhance their resistance to earthquakes. This system helps protect the buildings by reducing the seismic forces transmitted from the ground to the structure, ensuring greater safety for occupants and preserving the functionality of critical medical 7

equipment during and after an earthquake. Base isolation works by placing specialized bearings or isolators between the building and its foundation. These isolators absorb and dissipate seismic energy, allowing the structure to move independently from the ground shaking. By doing so, the system significantly reduces structural stress and prevents major damage to both the building and its essential systems.
