Title:
Modeling about retrofitting of structures.

Objective:
 To strengthening existing structures to make them more resistant.
 To reduce vulnerability of damage of existing structures during future
earthquakes.
 To repair the structures.

Methodology:
 Design a model of beam and column.
 Retrofitting of beam and column.

Conclusion:
 The reinforced concrete column jacketing strengthening method,leads to a uniformly
distributed increase in strength and stiffness of columns.
 The durability of original column is also improved,in contrast to the corrosion and
fire.
 Beam jacketing method reduces the stress at crack tip to a value less than the stress
at that position before cracking.
