Abstract
In Northern Tehran, a 100- years old residential masonry building is being renovated into a public library. The wooden floors of the upper story are being reinforced with an exposed steel space - frame and for settlement prevention of old bearing walls, the end bearing piles are used. During the construction of a reflective pool very close to the building, a number of masonry foundations begun sliding from under the brick columns of the main facade. In order to stop the sliding and prevent damage to the building a design was proposed to reinforce the foundation. The paper, examines the position of the building and the reflective pool, shows the way by which the foundation sliding was stopped and how it generally helped the whole building foundation.

Foundation Reinforcement of Old ALA Building
St. Louis, Missouri
In Northern Tehran, a 100- years old residential masonry building is being renovated into a public library. The wooden floors of the upper story are being reinforced with an exposed steel space - frame and for settlement prevention of old bearing walls, the end bearing piles are used. During the construction of a reflective pool very close to the building, a number of masonry foundations begun sliding from under the brick columns of the main facade. In order to stop the sliding and prevent damage to the building a design was proposed to reinforce the foundation. The paper, examines the position of the building and the reflective pool, shows the way by which the foundation sliding was stopped and how it generally helped the whole building foundation.
