'' K Methods of increasing resistant capacity of structure by various techniques is called Retrofitting. K ()'''! is the modification of existing/damaged structures to make them more resistant to seismic activity, ground motion, or soil failure due to earthquakes. K mt can also be defined as increasing the seismic resistant of damaged structure by various techniques as per m 13935-1993

acketing of columns consist of adding concrete with longitudinal and transverse reinforcement around the existing column .phis method of jacketing is the most suitable for reinforced concrete buildings. o it is the widely used and cost effective for RC buildings, as it is familiar to engineers and construction industry, suitable for repair. Also it increases the (i) shear capacity of the columns in order to accomplish strong column and weak beam design (ii) to improve flexural strength by longitudinal steel provided continuously from slab and anchored to the foundation.

(ii) V here fiber reinforcement polymer jackets are used.
$'!(/ A Carbon fiber are flexible and can be made to contact with the surface tightly for a high degree of confinement because of its high strength and modulus of elasticity. A mt is light weight A Rusting does not occur
)''('-()'-/ A mn some cases the presence of beam may require majority of new longitudinal bars to be bundled in the corner of the jacket A With the presence of the existing column it is difficult to provide cross ties for new longitudinal bars which are not at the corner of the jacket. A acketing is based only on engineering judgment as there are no guidelines or code recommended for it.

,&01'!,)(/ acketing beam is recommended for several purposes as it gives continuity to the columns and increases the strength and stiffness of the structure. While jacketing the beam it flexural resistance must be carefully computed in order to avoid the creation of strong beamʹweak column system. Due to column jacketing there may be change in mode failure and redistribution of forces which causes beam hinging, so the critical section of the beam and the participation of the existing reinforcement should be taken into consideration. acketing of beam is carried out in various ways 3 or 4-sided jackets.
