    9.1. Column Jacketing: Reinforced Concrete Jacketing Process

    Uploaded by

    Baylon Jeffrey
    Column jacketing involves adding fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) material to increase column shear and flexural strength to prevent damage during earthquakes. The process involves temporarily reducing loads on columns, cleaning and coating any corroded steel reinforcement, adding steel connectors to the column, installing vertical steel bars and stirrups for the jacket, coating the column with epoxy, and pouring new concrete around it. Steel jacketing similarly removes concrete, cleans reinforcement, and installs a steel jacket filled with epoxy to bond it to the column, for cases where the load must be increased without enlarging the column cross-section.

    Column Jacketing
    Column retrofitting is often critical to the seismic performance of a structure. To prevent
    the story mechanism during earthquakes, columns should never be the weakest components in
    the building structure. The response of a column in a building structure is controlled by its
    combined axial load, flexure, and shear. Therefore, column jacketing may be used to increase
    column shear and flexural strength so that columns are not damaged. Fiber reinforced polymer
    (FRC) material is used for jackets when retrofitting columns.

    Reinforced Concrete Jacketing Process

    1. Initially, reduce or eliminate loads on columns temporarily if it is required.


    This is done by putting mechanical jacks and additional props between
    floors.
    2. After that, if it is found out that reinforcements are corroded, the remove
    the concrete cover and clean the steel bars using a wire brush or sand
    compressor.
    3. Then, coat the steel bars with an epoxy material that would prevent
    corrosion.
    4. If reducing loads and cleaning reinforcement is not needed, the jacketing
    process begin by adding steel connectors into the existing column.
    5. The steel connectors are added into the column by making holes 3-4mm
    larger than the diameter of the used steel connectors and 10-15cm depth.
    6. The spacing of new stirrups of the jacket in both the vertical and horizontal
    directions should not be more than 50cm.
    7. Filling the holes with an appropriate epoxy material then inserting the
    connectors into the holes.
    8. Adding vertical steel connectors to fasten the vertical steel bars of the
    jacket following the same procedure in step 5 and 6.
    9. Installing the new vertical steel bars and stirrups of the jacket according to
    the designed dimensions and diameters.
    10. Coating the existing column with an appropriate epoxy material that would
    guarantee the bond between the old and new concrete.
    11. Pouring the concrete of the jacket before the epoxy material dries. The
    concrete used should be of low shrinkage and consists of small aggregates,
    sand, cement and additional materials to prevent shrinkage. Steps of
    reinforced concrete jacketing are illustrated in Fig. 1.
    Steel Jacketing
    This technique is chosen when the loads applied to the column will be increased,
    and at the same time, increasing the cross sectional area of the column is not
    permitted.

    Steel Jacketing Process


    1. Removing the concrete cover.
    2. Cleaning the reinforcement steel bars using a wire brush or a sand compressor.
    3. Coating the steel bars with an epoxy material that would prevent corrosion.
    4. Installing the steel jacket with the required size and thickness, according to the
    design, and making openings to pour through them the epoxy material that would
    guarantee the needed bond between the concrete column and the steel jacket.
    5. Filling the space between the concrete column and the steel jacket with an
    appropriate epoxy material.
