  • Abstract:
  • For a structure to perform its optimum level or for a durable structure, the dependency lies with on the designing, proper construction practices, exposure conditions and periodical maintenance. Because of lack of proper periodical maintenance and due to inadequate quality of construction caused distress in the structural members of the building. This case study pertains to a thirty year initially constructed old building and which was developed in later stages. As a part of study, numerical modelling is being carried out is being carried out in E-Tabs software, Non-destructive tests are carried out to find in-situ strength and retrofitting scheme by way of concrete jacketing is being proposed to cater the deficits. This study presents the verification of initial design considerations, methodology adopted for retrofitting and the sequence of retrofitting activities at site and also represents the condition of the structure after retrofitting.
