Let's talk about Retrofitting work.
Retrofitting is strengthening of existing structures or structural elements to enhance their performance with new technology, features, and components.
Generally retrofitting can be classified in two categories
1. Global retrofitting, and
2. Local retrofitting
𝗚𝗹𝗼𝗯𝗮𝗹 𝗿𝗲𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗳𝗶𝘁𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴:
The global retrofitting technique targets the seismic resistance of the structures. It includes adding of shear structure, adding of steel bracings, adding of infill structure and base isolation.
𝗟𝗼𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗿𝗲𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗳𝗶𝘁𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴:
Local retrofitting technique targets the seismic resistance of a member. The local retrofit technique includes the concrete, steel or fibre reinforced polymer
jacketing to the structural members, like beams, columns,foundation, and beam column joint. Concrete jacketing involves adding a new layer of concrete with longitudinal reinforcement and closely spaced ties. The jacket increases both the flexural strength and the shear strength of the beam or the column.
