About


NB Statiki, comprised of experienced structural engineers, has taken an active role in the field of structural engineering in Greece since 1993 and is engaged to the development of:

  • Structural design of new buildings consisted of Reinforced Concrete, Structural Steel, Masonry or Wood.
  • Structural Assesment of existing buildings (RC, Mansonry, Steel, Wood)
  • Structural seismic Retrofiting and Reinforcement of existing RC, Mansonry, Steel Buildings which are not capable of carrying seismic loads
  • Non destructive testing on structural materials of existing buildings using adequate equipment such as Ferroscan HILTI,
  • Technical and financial feasibility studies
  • Construction site management and supervision of site works
  • Construction consulting in every level of construction of a project

Thanks to the high educational standards of its partners, NB Statiki is capable of coping with high level and special studies efficiently, assuring the quality of the end result.


NB Statiki has established, applied and maintained the quality management systems in accordance with ELOT EN ISO 9001:2015 in respect of: “Structural Design of new buildings, Structural Assesment of existing buildings, Structural Retrofiting and Seismic Reinforcement of existing buildings”.

Structural Design – New Buildings

According to the most modern regulatory framework (ΕΑΚ and Εurocodes)

Our company is made up of a team of experienced and young civil engineers that undertake the responsibility of preparing static studies:

Of new reinforced concrete buildings

Metal buildings (light metal constructions & industrial – commercial buildings)

Composite constructions (constructions made up of different construction materials – collaboration of structural steel and reinforced concrete)

Buildings made of load-bearing masonry

Wooden buildings and wooden sheds

We use certified greek accounting static analysis (statics 2021 of the multisoft company, raf of the tol company) in combination with other design programs of the ergocad company (actcad 2022).

Structural Assesement

Evaluation of the bearing capacity of existing buildings

Anti-seismic technology has progressed in recent years, thus ensuring the construction of new buildings with high resistance to natural phenomena and always with the protection of human life in mind. However, much of the existing construction has been implemented in times when knowledge about earthquake-resistant technology was limited. As a result, a large percentage of these constructions do not meet the criteria for anti-seismic behavior and are vulnerable with the main pathology being the low resistance to seismic actions, the reduced stiffness or plasticity and the presence of a soft floor – pilot mechanism.

The static adequacy study and the assessment of the bearing capacity of existing buildings in terms of resistance to external design actions, is a quantitative procedure to check the staticity of an existing body according to the applicable regulatory framework.

Therefore, with the static adequacy study, a conclusion is reached as to whether an existing building, with or without damage, will satisfy the required criteria set by the respective regulations.

The static test examines the behavior of the carrier in the required limit state of strength depending on its use, which corresponds to the combination of various critical external actions.

For the study of static adequacy of existing buildings and accordingly the construction material, the regulations of kan.epe & eurocode 8, par.3 are applied.

Specifically for buildings made of reinforced concrete, the dominant construction material in greece, the following procedure is followed:

The information for the static adequacy study data is mainly collected from the on-site measurements as described in the material quality control.

The data collected is also cross-referenced from different sources with the aim of minimizing uncertainties.

Design simulation is a process which results in the determination of the amount and arrangement of reinforcement, both longitudinal and transverse, and all elements involved in the vertical and lateral strength of the building. The design is carried out on the basis of the regulatory texts taking into account the usual practice at the time of construction.

According to eurocode 8, par. 3, the static adequacy study and the assessment of the load-bearing capacity of the building in question is aimed at the decision to intervene in the structure and the design of the structure’s static strengthening strategy.

According to the information collected, a simulation – model of the carrier is set up in the appropriate static software, in which the intensive sizes of all the structural elements are determined, resulting in the critical combination of seismic loading that results depending on the applied anti-seismic regulation and the corresponding assumptions.

For carriers made of different structural materials (structural steel, timber, load-bearing masonry), each case is examined separately and the corresponding regulatory provisions are followed to ensure an even and more accurate result.

The software used are the statics 2021 program of the MULTISOFT company and the RAF of the TOL company, among the most reliable in the greek market.

Structural Retrofitting and Reinforcement

Studies of static reinforcement and strategic construction interventions

Anti-seismic technology has progressed in recent years, thus ensuring the construction of new buildings with high resistance to natural phenomena and always with the protection of human life in mind. However, much of the existing construction has been implemented in times when knowledge about earthquake-resistant technology was limited. As a result, a large percentage of these constructions do not meet the criteria for anti-seismic behavior and are vulnerable with the main pathology being the low resistance to seismic actions, the reduced stiffness or plasticity and the presence of a soft floor – pilot mechanism.

In addition, any interventions in existing buildings, such as floor additions, changes of use, geometry changes, etc., require the static control of the operator.

During the valuation study that precedes the reinforcement study, a conclusion is drawn about the behavior of the existing body in planning actions (earthquake, wind, snow, etc.). In the event that the operator’s behavior is deemed insufficient based on the applicable regulations and provisions, a static reinforcement study is prepared with the aim of restoring the operator and strengthening it for its safe operation.

The intervention strategies and the static reinforcement study are based on eurocode 8 and kan.epe.

Examples apply:

– shotcrete (gunite)

-cloaks

-carbon sheets

– cages

-upholstery of frames

Our Company

NB Statiki is based in Vari and undertakes static project studies throughout the Greek territory.

It is made up of a team of experienced civil structural engineers, which, having as its main objective the cooperation with the project owner and combining the excellent training in static design matters, copes with the wide range of needs of static designs.

In fact, in collaboration with the architectural studies department of the company, an even and complete result is achieved from the conception of the project to its completion.

He has been active in the field of design and construction since 1993.
