Abstract
This paper aims to describe two different techniques used to straight reinforced concrete buildings complex in Santos, Brazil, which is composed by two towers. At the end of the year 1998, before the recovery works, Tower A was 2,08m out of the vertical position while Tower B was almost the same. Towers A and B are 57m high. First, a safety assessment analysis was undertaken through a modern computational program. The analysis has shown that the strengthening of the structure of the Tower A was urgent, since the building could be in risk of structural collapse after ten years. The Tower B wasn’t in near risk because Tower B is largest than Tower A. The inclination of these buildings was corrected using different techniques presented in this paper.
