N2 - In the present context, a large part of the Romanian
urban population, like that of Eastern Europe, lives in
collective residential buildings with concrete structure
made of large prefabricated concrete panels. Most of
these buildings are over 30 years old, and the materials
used for thermal insulation are already outdated.
Starting from the representative typologies of existing
buildings, the context when they were built, their
evolution in time, and their current and actual problems,
the paper presents some directions, modalities,
intervention methods and their implementation for
rehabilitation. The paper presents architectural
solutions for redesigning the interior spaces of large
panel prefabricated concrete buildings by coupling
apartments on horizontal or vertical direction and also
the structural interventions to be considered. 3D
numerical analyses are conducted on these buildings, both
on initial and retrofitted structures. The study is
focused on using steel solutions for strengthening the
affected elements, due to their inherent advantages such
as clean intervention, reversibility, resistance and
adaptability.
