REPAIR – RETROFIT – REHABILITATION

Repair:
Repair is the technical aspects of rehabilitation. It refers to the modification of a structure, partly or
wholly, which is damaged in appearance or serviceability or Repair is the process of restoring
something that is damaged or deteriorated or broken, to good condition. such as the following

Methods Used for Repairing Concrete Structure or Buildings

 Strengthening of Structures
Example of
 Repairs by Epoxy repairing of
 Repairs of Cracks building

 Repairs of Floors
 Repairs of Columns
Retrofitting Process :
• Retrofitting is the method of modifying or repairing something after it has been
manufactured. Retrofitting work includes changing or repairing the structure system of a building
after its construction and ocacupation. This work result in increased safety and durability of the
structure.

• Retrofitting is an economic approach to increase the life span of an existing structure rather than
redeveloping it.

• Retrofit in the construction industry refers to the re-strengthening of the existing structures to
make them seismic resistance.

Retrofitting of structures
Retrofitting Methods And Techniques
Some of the most common retrofitting methods
for buildings are discussed below:
1.Adding New Shear Wall:

This is a frequently used technique


for retrofitting of building of non-ductile
reinforced concrete frame buildings.
The elements can be either cast-in-place or pre-
cast concrete elements.
elements preferably are placed at
the exterior of the building.
This method id not preferred in the interior of
the structure to avoid interior moldings. Shear wall
2.Adding Steel Bracing: 3.Jacketing Method:

Steel bracing is an effective solution in • Jacketing is the most popularly used method for
the retrofitting of building when large openings the strengthening of columns and beams of
are required. a building.

Potential advantages due to higher strength and • Jacketing consists of


stiffness and opening for natural light can added concrete with longitudinal and transverse
be provided. reinforcement around the existing columns.

The amount of work is also less • It improves the axial and shear strength of the
so foundation cost may be minimized and adds column and major strengthening of
much less weight to the existing structure. the foundation may be avoided.
REHABILITATION
Rehabilitation is the process of restoring the structure to service level, once it had and now
lost, strengthening consists in endowing the structure with a service level, higher than that
initially planned by modifying the structure not necessarily damaged structure.
Necessity:
• To increase the strength of structure
• To Improve Appearance of structure
• To Improve Durability
• To Change In Live Load Pattern During Service
• To increase the Load Capacity of structure
Various types of retrofitting methods for repair and rehabilitation of building structure
Guniting: Guniting is mechanically applied material consisting of cement, aggregates and
water.
Shotcreting : Shotcrete is defined as “mortar or concrete pneumatically projected at high
speed onto a surface”
Concrete Stitching Stitching is a rehabilitation method used at cracks to maintain aggregate
interlock and provide added reinforcement to minimize the relative movement of concrete
slabs at the cracks. It is also used at the longitudinal joints to keep the slabs from
separating.
Resin Injections Resin Injections are designed for injecting cracks in concrete and masonry
where there is a need to consolidate a structure or exclude water and air from contact with
reinforcement. Cracks greater than 0.2mm in width are injected with Low Viscosity resins.
If a crack is clean, free of impacted debris or paint, and 0.088 in. (2.2 mm) or greater in
width, pack the epoxy into the crack.
Dry packing This is the method of ramming into a confined area a mixture of portland
cement, aggregate, and enough water to make it moist.
STRENGTH OF STRUCTURAL COMPONENTS
• The building contains rooms, corridors, balconies, stairs and elevators.
• The structural elements are slabs, beams, columns, and foundations, depth of footing.
• The design method used is the ultimate strength method
Conclusion:

From this problem statement we learn about,

• For repair of buildings we learn different methods of repair.

• Importance of Repair Rehabilitation and Retrofitting.

• Methods of Retrofitting.

• how to increase the strength of building structure.
