6. Analysis& Design:
DEA report for this building has been submitted to ACCORD by CUET. From the
report it is seen that, retrofitting was suggested for the cracked column, as the capacity
of the column was found inadequate to resist the design load. A revise analysis has
been done considering the cracked condition, where effect of existing reinforcement
was neglected due to the corrosion of the existing reinforcement. From the analysis it
is found that design loads for the column are P=348 Kip, M2=40 Kip-ft & M3= 140
Kip ft.
For retrofitting design IS 15988:2013 was followed and for column design reciprocal
load method was followed. Retrofitting design section of the column and calculations
are shown in figure 3& figure 4.

7. Work Procedure:
Before retrofitting technique is carried out, loads on column need to reduce or even eliminate
temporarily which can be done by the following steps:
1. Putting mechanical jacks between floors.
2. Putting additional props between floors.
3. Moreover, in some cases, where corrosion in the reinforcement steel bars was found,
the following steps should be carried out:
4. Remove the concrete cover.
5. Clean the steel bars using a wire brush or sand compressor.
6. Coat the steel bars with an epoxy material that would prevent corrosion.
If there was no need for the previous steps, the jacketing process could start by the following
steps:
1. Adding steel connectors into the existing column in order to fasten the new stirrups of
the jacket in both the vertical and horizontal directions at spaces not more than
50cm.Those connectors are added into the column by making holes 3-4mm larger
than the diameter of the used steel connectors and 10-15cm depth. (For detail see the
design attached)
2. Filling the holes with an appropriate epoxy material then inserting the connectors into
the holes.
3. Adding vertical steel connectors to fasten the vertical steel bars of the jacket
following the same procedure in step 1 and 2.
The previous steps are illustrated in Fig 5. A picture of practical retrofitting works shown
for proper demonstration in figure 6.
