Safe high-rise construction
Pino Alto in Panama is a reinforced concrete residential building designed from the start for a high-seismicity zone, with a dual system of shear walls and special moment frames. This approach gives the building more stability, safety and comfort for residents.
Structural design solutions
Seismic and wind resistance
- Dual systems combining shear walls and special moment frames.
- ETABS analysis to evaluate story drift and lateral loads.
- Design based on ductility and energy dissipation criteria.
BIM model and shop drawings
The project was moved into a Tekla Structures BIM model, which enabled:
- Early clash detection.
- Accurate shop drawings for construction.
- Efficient material takeoffs that saved time and resources.
- Critical connection checks in IDEA StatiCa.
Results
Pino Alto was delivered as a modern, safe and functional residential complex with high-performance structures and generous spaces.
