    This presentation summarizes seismic retrofitting techniques for reinforced concrete buildings. It discusses both global/structural level retrofitting methods like adding new shear walls, infill walls, bracings, and wing walls, as well as local/member level methods like jacketing beams, columns, and beam-column joints. Base isolation is also covered, which isolates the superstructure from seismic forces at the foundation. The presentation provides examples and brief explanations of each technique.

    PRESENTATION ABOUT…….

     Classification of retrofitting
    techniques
     Structural level (Global) retrofit
    methods
     Member level (Local) retrofit methods
    CLASSIFICATION OF
    RETROFITTING TECHNIQUES:
    GLOBAL RETROFITTING TECHNIQUES:
    OR
    STRUCTURAL LEVEL RETROFIT
    METHODS:

     ADDING NEW SHEAR WALL:


     Frequently used for retrofitting of non ductile
    reinforced concrete frame buildings.
     The added elements can be either cast in place or
    precast concrete elements.
     New elements preferably be placed at the exterior
    of the building.
     Not preferred in the interior of the structure to
    avoid interior mouldings.
    ADDITION OF REINFORCED SHEAR WALLS
    ADDING INFILL WALLS:
     This is the brick masonry infill wall.
     The lateral stiffness of a storey increases
    with infill wall.
     Due to ‘strut action’ of the infill walls, the
    flexure and shear forces and ductility
    demand on the ground storey columns are
    substantially reduced.
     Do not increase the ductility of structure.
    BRICK MASONRY INFILL WALL
    BLOCK MASONRY INFILL WALLS
    ADDING BRACINGS:
     An effective solution when large
    openings are required.
     Increase in strength, ductility and
    stiffness.
     Opening for natural light.
     Adds much less weight to the existing
    structure.
    RESTRAINED BRACES
    TYPES OR BRACES
    ADDING WINGWALLS:
     To increase lateral strength, ductility
    and stiffness of the structure.
     The wing walls are placed at the
    exterior side of the existing frame.
     Acts as a retaining wall.
     They serve as buttresses to support
    walls.
     They can also be purely decorative.
    ADDING WING WALL
    WALL THICKENING:
     The existing walls of a building are added
    certain thickness by adding bricks,
    concrete and steel aligned at certain places
    at reinforcement such that the weight of
    wall increases.
     It can bear more vertical and horizontal
    loads.
     It is designed under special conditions
    that the transverse loads does not cause
    sudden failure of the wall.
    MASS REDUCTION:
     In this process removing one or more
    storey of building is done.
     Decrease the load at foundation.
     Increases the life and strength of the
    building.
     It can be accomplished by removal of
    upper stories ,heavy cladding,
    partitions and stored goods.
    REDUCTION BY REMOVAL OF STOREY
    BASE ISOLATION:
     Isolation of superstructure from the foundation is
    known as base isolation.
     This is concerned to reduce the horizontal seismic
    forces.
     Most powerful tool for passive structural
    vibration control technique.
     Isolates building from ground motion, lesser
    seismic loads, hence lesser damage to the
    structure, minimal repair of superstructure.
     Building can remain serviceable throughout
    construction.
    BASE ISOLATION:
     Does not involve major intrusion
    upon existing superstructure.
     This method is expensive to perform.
     This cannot be applied partially to
    structures unlike other retrofitting.
     Challenging to implement in an
    efficient manner.
    MASS DAMPERS:
     There are two types of mass dampers. They are
    1. Supplementary dampers
    2. Tuned mass dampers
    1.SUPPLEMENTARY DAMPERS:
    o It is an essential energy dissipation system that
    is incorporated into the design of structure to
    absorb vibration energy to reduce motion.
    o It would decrease the energy dissipation demand
    on structure components like beams, columns
    and slabs by increasing survivability of
    structure.
    o Decreased construction and maintenance cost.
    2.TUNED MASS DAMPERS:
     Itis also know as a harmonic absorber,
    designed to reduce the amplitude of
    mechanical vibrations.
     Their application can prevent discomfort,
    damage or outright structural failure.
     These are frequently used in the power
    transmission, automobiles and buildings.
    LOCAL RETROFITTING TECNIQUES:
    OR
    MEMBER LEVEL RETROFITTING METHOD:

     JACKETING OF BEAMS:
    o Beam jacketing method reduces the stress at crack
    tip to value less than the stress at that position
    before cracking.
    o Re-strengthening work by enlargement of the
    section of the beam increasing the capacity at the
    location other than the crack location.
    o It increases the size of the beam, stiffness of the
    beam also increases that which can take additional
    loadings.
    o As steel can take much more tension than concrete,
    steel size can be reduced.
    JACKETING OF COLUMNS:
     It consists of added concrete with longitudinal
    and transverse reinforcement around the existing
    column.
     This improves the axial and shear strength of
    column while the flexural strength of column and
    strength of beam column joint remains same.
     It improves the lateral load capacity of the
    building in a uniform and distributed way and
    avoiding the concentration of stiffness as in shear
    walls.
     Major strengthening of foundations may be
    avoided.
    JACKETING OF BEAM COLUMN JOINTS:
     A joint may be defined as the part of the
    column that is located through the depth
    of the beams and which intersect that
    column.
     In this dissipation of energy has been
    mainly concentrated at the beams end.
     It is important to point out the need to
    have a very strong column as compared
    to the beam to avoid driving of the column.
    STRENGTHENING OF INDIVIDUAL
    FOOTINGS:
     Strengthening of columns foundations is required
    in the case of applying additional loads.
    Widening and strengthening of existing
    foundations may be carried out by constructing a
    concrete jacket to the existing footings.
     The new jacket should be properly anchored to
    the existing footing and column neck in order to
    guarantee proper transfer of loads. This can be
    accomplished by drilling holes into existing
    concrete of footing and epoxy grouting the
    longitudinal reinforcement of jacket.
