The Miami National Bank Building (121 SE 1st Street, Miami FL 33131) is an 87 years old building located downtown Miami and has been unoccupied since 2000, which means that it has been exposed to environmentally aggressive elements, such as chloride or carbon dioxide (CO2) (Cl-), that have penetrated the concrete, and corroded the reinforcing steel.
Such damage has been observed and documented in field study performed by local structural engineer, where it was determined that approximately 65% of the building structure in need of structural repairs. Most of the damage is located at the perimeter of the Building, and the Structural Slabs.
Some columns of the building must be completely replaced, as the shown in the enclosed picture.
