Abstract
This review paper presents an experimental study of Repair, Rehabilitation and Retrofitting of R.C.C Structures. Reinforced cement concrete (RCC) as a construction material has come into use for the last one century. In India RCC has been used extensively in the last 50-60 years. During this period we have created large number of infrastructural assets in terms of buildings, bridges, sports stadium etc. which are lifeline for the civilize society. However, the deterioration of Reinforced Concrete structures is recognized as a major problem worldwide. Apart from requiring regular maintenance, many structures require extensive Repair, Rehabilitation & Retrofitting. Over a period of time, as these structures become older. One major flaw, namely its sensitivity to environmental attack, can severely reduce the strength and life of these structures. The purpose of this project is to highlight the various techniques of repair, rehabilitation and retrofitting methods. This project focuses on visible symptoms of the problem rather than on invisible problems as well as the possible causes behind them. The major defects reported are discussed and a suitable and economical solution for a particular defect is identified by a tradeoff between cost, lifetime and adaptability of the solution.
