Use of Augmented Reality to Simulate Structural Reinforcement Application in Existing Buildings

Abstract

Many buildings are subjected to structural reinforcements, for various reasons, and can cite the decrease in seismic vulnerability, change of purpose of the building or changes in the plant. Although the reasons for the change in the purpose of structural reinforcement are an impactful intervention in the building, and the presentation of this intervention in an augmented reality simulation can contribute directly to the understanding of the reinforcement project, already the augmented reality (AR) enables an immersive experience within the executive project and over the possibility of the project with the existing building. In view of this reality, the presentation of structural reinforcement projects is consolidated as an ally and a reference for projects.
