  • Abstract:
  • Retrofitting of existing structures is a very important point of consideration when it comes to existing structures. Hence, to improve the strength of a multi-span bridge when it is damaged by various aspects of deterioration, retrofitting is needed, to avoid any further damage or collapse. It is a very difficult task to finalize a suitable method for retrofitting of a structure. Considerable research has been done on the different conditions of bridges and buildings to identify the cause of damage and a suitable solution is provided in every case to provide a long life-span to the bridge along with enhanced strength and capability of bearing heavy loads. This paper aims to bring out the summarized findings of various literatures available on retrofitting of bridges.
