Vibron is a structural and earthquake engineering consultancy. We work out how a building actually behaves, and every decision that follows has a calculation behind it.
Most of our work starts with an existing structure and an open question about it. Some of it starts with a drawing set someone else produced, or with a vibration nobody can explain.
We establish how a building will perform in an earthquake from a measured survey and material testing. The original drawings, where they exist, are only a starting point.
Design for new buildings in reinforced concrete and steel, taken from concept design through to construction drawings.
Retrofit design for buildings that fall short of the target performance level, sized to the deficiency the assessment actually found.
Where conventional strengthening will not reach the target, or the client cannot accept what it does to the building, we design isolation and energy dissipation systems instead.
Measurement of how a structure moves in service and over time, assessed against the limits that apply to it.
We check another team's design, or provide the technical backing for a decision that has to be defended later.
A building either performs, can be brought up to performance, or has to be decoupled from the ground. The assessment decides which.
A model that has not been checked against the building is a hypothesis. We treat it as one until the survey and the test results agree with it.
We document what was actually built: geometry, reinforcement, material strengths and the condition of the structure today. The information level this gives us is stated in the report.
The analysis model is built from that survey and run against the target performance level, so the shortfall comes out as a number.
Strengthening, isolation or a new structure is designed against that number. The cost of each option and the disruption it causes are written out side by side.
We stay on the project through construction and check the built result against the design, because details change on site.
Türkiye has far more existing buildings waiting for an honest assessment than it has new ones waiting to be designed. Both need the same thing behind them: an engineer who will run the numbers and then say plainly what they mean.
Vibron was built around that one discipline, for clients whose decisions have to hold up when someone else checks them.
The gap between a report that says a structure is adequate and one that proves it only shows up at the worst possible moment. Closing that gap is our work.
Send the problem in a paragraph. If it is something we can help with, we will tell you how we would approach it. If it is not, we will say that too.
