Structural strengthening is necessary for buildings and infrastructure to last a long time and be safe and functioning. Gubbi Civil Engineers Limited, specialise in pioneering structural strengthening services in India. To meet the diverse needs of various sectors and stakeholders. Whether you are a real estate developer commercial property owner or a government agency Our experience guarantees a reliable solution tailored to your specific challenges.

Structural strengthening is modernising a structure to improve its ability to support existing loads. Or to increase the rigidity of structural components to support additional weight. The need to reinforce a structure is normally motivated by building codes. Deterioration Usage changes or defects resulting from design and/or construction errors.

Existing concrete structures are affected by various factors. Such as natural environment and use environment. and showing insufficient weight-bearing ability excessive deterioration and other defects Various reinforcement methods have been proposed. For damage to engineering structures.

Why Structural Strengthening Matters

As time passes These structures may decay due to factors such as aging. Environmental pressure Earthquake activity or increased load demand Structural strengthening services in India play a fundamental role in:
  • Enhancing Structural Integrity : Prevents potential failures and extends the life of the structure.
  • Improving Load-Bearing Capacity : Adapting to new usage requirements or compliance formats
  • Ensuring Safety : Protecting occupants and users from unforeseen accidents
  • Complying with Regulations: Participate in updates to building codes and regulations
  • Aesthetics: Structural reinforcement can also improve the aesthetics of a building. Increase market value and attract potential tenants or buyers.

Methods of Structural Strengthening

Structural reinforcement covers a wide range of techniques and methods to meet specific structural challenges. Here are some of the most effective methods:

Carbon Wrapping For Columns

Carbon wrapping is a structural reinforcement technique used to strengthen columns, and other supporting elements of a structure. They wrap or use high-strength carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) sheets or wrapped as structural components to increase weight-bearing capacity, strength, and resistance to environmental deterioration.

Why Carbon Wrapping

Columns are important structural elements that support axial and lateral loads. Over time, these elements can deteriorate due to factors such as ageing before your time Corrosion of internal reinforcement Important freight needs The need for seismic modernization The layout of the structure is not enough. Because carbon hedging can effectively solve these problems. Offers a non-intrusive and highly durable bracing solution.

Advantages of carbon wrapping

High strength-to-weight ratio: Carbon fibre provides exceptional strength without adding too much weight to the structure.
  • EASY INSTALLATION : Quick and straightforward installation with minimal disruption to operations or occupants.
  • Improve structural performance : increase load-bearing capacity Strength in bending force and toughness Corrosion resistance: Protects against environmental factors such as moisture, chemicals and UV rays
  • Aesthetic Benefits : The refined, lightweight material creates an elegant and discreet surface. Versatility: Suitable for round, square or irregular column formats. Registration process
  • Surface preparation: Clean the surface of the pole to remove any scratches, grass clippings, or loose debris. Repair cracks or exposures with argamassa or suitable epoxy. Using primer: A resin-based primer is used to guarantee separation between the pole and the carbon plate. Carbon sheet installation: CFRP sheets are cut to specified sizes. Coated with resin or epoxy first

Steel Plate Flitching

Steel plate flitching is a structural reinforcement technique widely used for structural strengthening or structural retrofitting in construction and engineering services, to increase the load-bearing capacity and efficiency of the existing structure. Structure repairs and rehabilitation or structural strengthening methods involve fixing MS sheets of varied design thickness to concrete surfaces or other structural elements using high-strength adhesives, anchor bolts/through bolts and/ or welding. Here is a detailed overview of the process, uses, and benefits of steel plate flitching.

Surface preparation

  • The surface of the structure, which is usually concrete, is cleaned to remove dirt, grime, and loose materials.
  • Sand casting or smelting can be done to form a rough surface. Guaranteed strong adhesion

Steel Plate Selection

  • Steel plates of the designed size and thickness are selected according to structural requirements.

Adhesive Application

  • High-strength epoxy resin or other adhesive Suitable materials are applied evenly to sheet metal or structural surfaces.

Positioning and Collage

  • The plate/sheet is carefully placed and pressed against the surface. In some cases, para fuses or welds, anchor bolts/through bolts can be used for additional mechanical fastening.

Curing

  • The adhesive can maintain a specific state of blubber to achieve maximum collagen resistance.

Fiber Reinforced Concrete

The modern composite material called fibre-reinforced concrete (FRC) is made of concrete that has been combined with fibers to enhance its structural qualities. Because it may boost abrasion resistance, decrease cracks, and improve durability, this innovation is widely used in current construction.

Advantages of fiber-reinforced concrete

  • Better durability : These fibres increase resistance to wear, impact, and corrosion
  • Reduced Cracking : The bay spreads under tension. This is because the fibres reduce or develop cracks caused by the covering or tension
  • Higher Tensile Strength : FRC compensates for the fragility of traditional concrete. This makes it suitable for structures that require flexibility.
  • Improved Energy Absorption: Ideal for use in seismic areas, FRC can absorb and dissipate energy during shock or vibration.

External Pre-Stressing

External structural strengthening is a specific technique used in civil engineering to improve the structural performance and durability of concrete members. This is different from traditional bracing methods where the ends are embedded in concrete. External stresses are related to the placement of ends or ends outside of concrete components. This approach has several advantages. Especially in structural repairs and rehabilitation modernization and new construction projects
  • External Tendons Placement : The tendon or extremity is located outside the structural element. This is usually located at the tip or seam. They are attached to the tip and externally tensioned to apply the required force
  • Ease of Inspection and Maintenance : This is because the head is not embedded in the concrete. As a result, it will continue to be available for visual examination and upkeep for the duration of the building.
  • Versatility : Bridges, girders, and superstructures are just a few of the many structural elements that might benefit from external bracing..
  • Adaptability for Retrofitting : This approach is particularly helpful for updating and improving current structures without requiring major changes.

Seismic Retrofitting

The practice of structural retrofitting of existing buildings and structures is known as seismic modernization. To withstand earthquakes just one movement or a single failure caused by an earthquake. It is considered an important measure. This is especially true for old structures. To minimize damage and guarantee residents’ safety during earthquakes

Why is Seismic Retrofitting Important

  • Life Safety : keeps buildings from collapsing, saving lives
  • Structural Integrity : Minimizes damage to the building, reducing repair costs.
  • Compliance with Regulations: Compliance with Regulations
  • Economic Benefits : Prevents losses by safeguarding property and infrastructure.

Methods of Seismic Retrofitting

Bracing Systems

Add steel or concrete supports to strengthen the wall and reduce lateral movement. Commonly used in multi-story buildings.

Shear Wall Addition

During earthquakes, walls made of reinforced concrete are utilized to withstand horizontal stresses. Make buildings stronger and more rigid.

Strengthening the foundation

Repairs or upgrades are performed on failed foundations to guarantee stability during an earthquake event. Including sustenance or expansion of the foundation area.

Reinforcement of structural elements

Modern materials like carbon fiber wrapping, steel jackets, or fiber-reinforced polymer are used to reinforce joints, beams, and columns. Buildings should have less superfluous weight to lessen the seismic pressures acting on them.
