    Retrofitting of BuildingPPT

    The document discusses seismic retrofitting of masonry buildings in India. It notes that 85-90% of houses are made of masonry but were not designed to be earthquake resistant. Seismic retrofitting techniques can strengthen buildings and reduce earthquake risks. Common issues include soft first stories, inadequate lateral reinforcement, and deterioration over time. Retrofitting methods mentioned include jacketing columns and beams, adding shear walls, base isolation, and dampers to absorb vibrations. Public education and incentives are needed to widely apply these techniques given the large number of at-risk buildings.

    240 million houses stock according to 2000 census 85 90% houses are masonry houses Stone masonry, Block masonry, Brick masonry No standardized procedure/ no code Differs from structure to structure Depends upon seismic zone Structural Engineering expert

    Structural drawings/ soil data

    Houses not designed to resist earthquakes People don't know what to do ? Whether their houses are earthquake safe ? How strong they are ? How to make them earthquake safe ? Buildings can be upgraded by minor interventions Seismic Retrofitting

    What level of Seismic Retrofitting ?

    Earthquake intensity Structural configuration and components

    Structural condition
    Geological condition Foundation capability Non-structural components

    Difficulty in estimating the earthquake parameters, intensity. Influence of site condition microzonation. Difficulty in estimation of insitu strength of materials. Analytical methods are either unreliable or too complex.

    Before the retrofitting to identify the deficiency

    After the retrofitting to estimate the adequacy and effectiveness

    Detailed layout (plan and elevation) Detail of foundation and soil

    Structural drawings
    Detail of codes used/ design calculations Vulnerability assessment If found deficient -retrofitting is done

    Natural frequencies of vibration of the structure Frequency content of ground motion

    Type of local soil and type of foundation


    Strength of building material used Care taken in its detailing for energy absorption Care taken in construction

    Damage on masonry buildings start from corner separation

    Number of unsafe buildings is alarming Non-engineered buildings Faulty original design lack of lateral resisting elements: frames, shear walls Changes in Codal practices Inadequate detailing of reinforcement Extensions, Alterations and Encroachment Increase in load due to usage Poor and deficient construction Lack of regular maintenance Degradation of building material/ Corrosion

    Integral box action Integrity of various components Roof to wall

    Wall to wall at corners


    Wall to foundation Limit on openings

    Integral box action Integrity of various components Roof to wall

    Wall to wall at corners


    Wall to foundation Limit on openings

    Many buildings with soft storey collapsed due to failure of columns at joints in soft storey The failure occurred due toLack of strength & stiffness of soft storey strong beam-weak column behaviour of moment resisting frame lack of ductility due to poor detailing

    Soft storey
    Floating columns In-plane and out-of-plane irregularity

    Asymmetric configuration

    Strengthening Existing MembersReinforcedConcrete Jacketing, Overlay & UnderlaySteel Plate Bonding and Jacketing, Steel section caging; FRP Plate Bonding and Jacketing
    Adding New MembersShear wallsFramesBracingsButtresses

    Conventional cast-in-place concrete


    High-strength concrete using shrinkage compensating admixture Ferro-cement Shotcrete (gunite)

    Polymer concrete

    Resins Resin concrete Grouts Gluing metal sheets on concrete Welding of new reinforcement Gluing fibre-reinforced plastic (FRP) sheets on concrete Composite reinforcing bars

    Fibre reinforced composite


    Latest technique in structural rhabilitation ACS comprises of uni-directional or bi-directional woven reinforcing fabric saturated with specially formulated epoxy matrix

    Quick and easy application procedure results in time and cost saving
    Flexibility of application makes it suitable for application on member with any shape or profile Causes no destruction or disturbance to existing concrete It can be used in space constrained areas No heavy machinery or equipment is required

    It is light weight and easy to install causing no distress to the member being strengthened It increases the strength and ductility; enhances axial, shear, flexural and tensile capacities
    No appreciable increase in member size or dead load It does not corrode and inhibits further corrosion

    Increasing the size of ground storey columns by jacketing Addition of RC walls at ground floor
    Steel bracings at ground storey Use of energy dissipating devices such as yielding bracing or viscous dampers

    Option 1:
    Detailed non-linear dynamic analysis to ensure the deflection of the ground storey columns to be within safe limits

    Option 2:

    Increased lateral stiffness of the ground storey to avoid soft storey effect

    The size of the ground storey beams and columns is increased to have the stiffness of the ground storey comparable with upper storeys

    The ground storey should be provided with shear walls to increase the stiffness at ground storey

    THE RESPONSE OF THE STRUCTURE IS MODIFIED TO REDUCE THE EARTHQUAKE FORCES AND DISPLACEMENTS STRATEGIES ARE:

    1. REDUCTION OF MASS 2. BASE ISOLATION 3. ENERGY DISSIPATION

    Generally required for large masonry buildings, excavations are made around the foundations of the building and the building (in piecemeal fashion) is separated from the foundations
    Steel or reinforced concrete beams replace the connections to the foundations, while under these, layered rubber and metal isolating pads replace the material removed, these in turn are attached below to new or existing foundations. These allow the ground to move while the building, restrained by its inertial mass, remains relatively static.

    Lead rubber bearing

    Directly Increases The Structure Damping Large relative displacements are required for effective damping.
    More effective in frame structures with large window openings, than in shear wall buildings. Sometimes braced frames are required for mounting.

    Large Number Seismically Deficient Buildings -Quick Assessment Method Upgradationof existing buildings is huge job and should be taken up on buildings importance basis Government alone cannot do it

    Techniques of retrofitting and strengthening should be applied Techo-financing -tax exemption incentives
