Flow of presentation
■ Excessive loading.
■ Seismic damage.
■ Structural cracks.
honey combs.
What is a retrofitting ?
■ It is an improvement over the original strength when the evaluation of the building
indicates that the strength available before the damage walls insufficient and restoration
alone will not be adequate in future quakes.
Objectives of retrofitting
■ Giving unity to the structure by providing a proper connection between its resisting
elements.
To retrofit or not ?
SHEAR WALLS
Adding infill wall
■ This is the most popular method for strengthening of concrete building elements like as
1. Beams
2. Columns
3. Beam column Junctions
■ Due to jacketing, enhancing the shear strength, concrete confinement, flexural strength.
Materials to be used
Steel plates
■ Increase in the capacities( strength, stiffness, ductility, stability and integrity) of concrete
structure.
■ The reduction in loss of lives, damage of the essential facilities and functional continuity
of life-span of structures.
■ Decrease the working space of concrete structure due to extension in structural elements
and affect the appearance.
■ Increase in lateral stiffness with high shear concentration near wall.
■ Increase in overturning moment at foundation.
