Abstract - Given the age and continued deterioration of
infrastructure, upgrading concrete structures has gained
importance. Because of improved construction methods, the
issue is worse. A structural engineer faces a dilemma when
deciding whether expansion procedures or materials are best
for retrofitting a structure. Retrofitting is the science and
technology of enhancing the performance of existing
structures or structural components with new technologies,
features, and components. A reinforcedconcretestructurethat
has already been built can be retrofitted by making repairs,
rehabilitations, or strengthening. The current article explores
the comprehensive study of retrofitting along with its
classification. Moreover, the necessity and importance of the
retrofitting accompanying the procedure of the same are
explained. In addition, the various methodologies of
retrofitting the retrofitting of reinforced concrete structures
are explained in the present article.
Key Words: Retrofitting, Concrete Structure, Repair,
Buildings, deterioration.
1.INTRODUCTION
In the current situation, concrete structure deterioration is
an international issue. Numerous factors contribute to this,
including the occurrence of natural disasters like
earthquakes, a lack of awareness of various crucial statutory
requirements in the field of building, inadequate oversight,
etc. These elements cause constructions to lack strength.
Structure overloading can occasionally result in extreme
deformations and corrosion, both of which demand today's
attention. Today's building industry often calls for
strengthening, retrofitting, and repair work tocounteractall
these effects on reinforced concrete structures [1, 2].
All of these potential ways to produce damage will call for a
range of potential repair methods, from which the most
efficient one will be selected in each specific situation. In
some circumstances, even recently constructed structures
need to be repaired and strengthened in order to remove
flaws caused by mistakes in the designorconstruction.It has
always been highly difficult to repair a concrete structure or
one of its components, and effective solutions frequently
required substantial work [3]. To deal with structural
elements damaged by unexpected events like fire,
earthquake, foundation movement, impact, and overload,
specialized procedures of strengthening, stiffening, and
repair are required [4].
Numerous existing bridges, industrial buildings, urban
transportation hubs, marine structures, and earth-retaining
structures require maintenance or improvement. The
reinforced concrete constructions must undergo some
alterations and advancements during their service life for a
variety of reasons. Retrofitting or replacement are the two
options available in this situation. Whole structures mustbe
replaced, which has drawbacks including expensive labour
and material prices. Therefore, if possible and practical, it is
preferable to repair or update the structure rather than
replace the entire thing [5].
2.RETROFITTING
Retrofitting is the process of giving anythinga component or
feature that was not included during manufacture or by
adding something that was notpresentatthetimeoforiginal
construction. It frequently refers to the installation of new
building systems, such as heating systems, but it may also
apply to the fabric of a building, like installingdoubleglazing
or retrofitting insulation. Retrofitting RCC structural
members are done to restore the strength of the weakened
concrete element structure[6].Additionally,itaidsinhalting
additional damage to concrete components. Errors in the
design or subpar construction could be to blame for the
concrete element's lack of strength. Another explanationfor
the decline can also exist, such as the aggressiveness of
dangerous substances [7].
Depending entirely on the extent of the damage caused, the
required capacity of the structure may be restored once the
right method of retrofitting is applied and specified.
Numerous methods, including external plate bonding,
grouting, external post-tensioning,sectionenlargement, and
fibre-reinforced polymer composites, are employed during
the retrofittingprocess[8]. Whenstructuresand engineering
projects get damaged to the point that they cannot be used
for general purposes, they may require strengthening and
repair. Such situations. The risk of lives being lost as well as
any structural and content damage would be intolerable
since the structure cannot sustain a subsequent sequence of
the same action or other unintentional acts with acceptable
reliability. Retrofitting is a strengthening modification that
can restore a suitable level of safetyanddefenceagainstsuch
acts [9].
Retrofitting is classified into two ways i.e., (1) Local
Retrofitting and (2) Global Retrofitting. The seismic
resistance of the structures is the focus of the global
retrofitting technique.Shear structureaddition,steel bracing

addition, infill structure addition, and foundation isolation
are all part of it. Flat slabs or flat plates can be used to add
shear structures into a construction. With the least amount
of interference to the building'sfunction,theycanbegivenin
the outer frames [10]. A local retrofitting technique focuses
on a member's seismic resistance. The local retrofit
technique involves jacketing structural members, such as
beams, columns, foundations, and beam-column joints,with
concrete, steel, or fibre-reinforced polymer. By adding a
fresh layer of concrete with longitudinal reinforcement and
evenly spaced links, concrete jacketing is accomplished.The
jacket improves the column's or the beam'sflexural strength
in both directions [11].
2.1 Importance and Need
Retrofitting is now spreading uncontrollably over the
globe as a substantial portionof recorded,public,andprivate
noteworthy designs get old and weaken with the passage of
time. Retrofitting is likely the best option for securingaweak
structure against potential threats or other natural forces.
Retrofitting is the process of adding new features to older
structures, legacy structures, spans, and so forth [12].
Retrofitting reduces the potential for injury from an existing
design during an impending seismic event. It is the
modification of current designs to make them more resistant
to seismic activity, ground movement, and soil
disappointmentproducedbyseismictremorsorothertypical
cataclysms, such as twisters, typhoons, and winds with high
velocity generated by tempest, blizzards, and hailstorms.
Several designs have historical, social, or public significance.
Strength and resistivity are improved through retrofitting
[13].
As time goes on, the structure is impacted by a variety of
environmental conditions. The most harmful of these is an
earthquake, which disrupts the interior structure of the
building and gradually causes that structure to lose its
strength and stability [14]. As a result, the building is
rendered dangerous for usage in the future and could result
in a significantloss. The concrete element structure's level of
deterioration is progressing at an alarming rate. It has been
confirmed that there is a highprobabilityofconcreteelement
deterioration and reinforcement corrosion even when every
precise construction code is followed [15].
One of the major factors that contribute to the
deterioration of reinforced concrete components is steel
corrosion, which may lead to cracking, a reduction in the
reinforcement's useful area, spalling of the concrete's top
layer, and even collapse. When dealing with damages, there
are many different situations[16]. Ifa building, whetheritbe
in the public or private sectors, such as an office or a home,
suffers severe structural damage. Civil engineers prefer to
tear down and rebuild the structure [17]. However,
dismantling significant or historically significant buildings is
not an option. In the effort to make buildings more efficient
and practical, retrofitting hastaken centre stage.Byreducing
fossil fuel waste, lowering operating costs and making
structures easier to maintain, as well as helping to combat
helpless ventilation and moisture problems, the overall
situation will be improved. Additionally, it can increase a
building's robustness, flexibility, and adaptability [18].
2.2 Retrofitting Process
The primary goal of retrofitting or repair work is to raise
the load-bearingcapacity,boostthestructure'sperformance,
or prolong its useful life. The sensible approach to any
retrofitting operation is to take into account both the root
cause and the symptoms of the degradation. Without a
thorough grasp of the root causes of the issues, fixing only
the symptoms can result in hidden flaws being discovered
beneath the finished product. Repair of the retrofittingwork
is believed to be something that should be avoided, so the
following actions should be taken [19-21].
 Determine the performance criteria for the existing
structure that has to be retrofitted and create a
comprehensive plan that includes inspection,technique
selection, structural design, and implementation of the
retrofitting work.
 Examine the structure that needs to be retrofitted.
 Assess the structure's performance based on the
inspection's findings, andmakesureitcomplieswiththe
performance standards.
 Design of the retrofitting structure should be done ifthe
structure does not meet performance standardsandifit
is desirable to keep using the structure aftertheretrofit.
 Determine the materials to be utilized, the structural
specifications, and the construction technique, then
choose the best retrofitting strategy.
 Analyze the structure's performance following the refit
and ensure that it satisfies the performance standards.
 Implement the retrofitting work if it is assessed that the
retrofitting structure will be able to satisfyperformance
requirements using the chosen retrofitting and
construction methods.
3. METHODS OF RETROFITTING OF REINFORCED
CONCRETE STRUCTURES
3.1 Concrete Jacketing
Concrete jacketing is one type of retrofit forthebeams.To
increase the flexural and/or shear capacity, extra
longitudinal bars and stirrups must be added together with
an additional layer of concrete aroundthecurrentbeam.The
inquiry on reinforcing beams with bottom bars that are

interrupted at joints is described in the current work.
Concrete jacketing is required to increase bearing load
capacity after a structural design revision or to restore
structural design integrity following a structural member
failure. This method is applied on vertical surfaceslikewalls,
columns, and other combinations like the bottom and sides
of beams. Figure 1 demonstrates the concretejacketing[22].
Fig -1: Concrete Jacketing
3.2 CFRP Jacketing
Many constructionsfoundin seismicallyactivezonesare not
able to withstand seismic waves, according to Indian
Standard code requirements for earthquake concerns.
Additionally, due to inadequate design, poor construction,
additional loads, increased performance demands, etc., the
seismic behaviour of existing structures is impacted. Recent
earthquakes have revealed that the shear failure of beam-
column joints is the main factor in the collapse of many
moment-resisting frame buildings. Numerous research
projects have been conducted to create various
strengthening and restoration approaches to enhance the
seismic performance of existing structures. Figure 2 depicts
the CFRP jacketing [23].
Fig -2: CFRP Jacketing
In the event of future seismic activity, A structure's
susceptibility to harm is decreased by retrofitting. In order
to meet the requirements of the present codal provisionsfor
seismic design, it seeks to strengthen a structure. In recent
years, it has been discovered that seismic retrofit with FRP
materials has gained noticeably acceptance among the
various retrofitting methods. FRP material retrofitting is a
technically sound and economical repair technology that is
currently widely employed as a seismic retrofitting
approach. The options and procedures used in practice for
wrapping the beam-column joints have been reviewed in
this study. The breadth and applications of FRP materials
like carbon fibre reinforced polymer (CFRP) and glass fibre
reinforced polymer are also summarized in this study
(GFRP) [24, 25].
3.3 Steel Jacketing
Increases in basic strength capacity can also be achieved
by the use of steel jacketing. Steel jacketing not only offers
adequate confinement but also stops shell concrete
deterioration, which is the primary causeofbondfailureand
longitudinal bar buckling. Steel jacketing is the process of
covering a part with steel plates and filling the space with
grout that won't shrink. It is a very efficient way to fix flaws
like insufficient shear strength and poor longitudinal bar
splices at crucial points. But it could be expensive, and you
have to think about how fire resistant it is. Steel strips and
angles are the most widely utilized reinforcing method in
real life. Steel jacketing appears to be useful for retrofitting
columns since it helps to restore the strength, ductility, and
energy absorption capacity of columns. Additionally, the
steel jacket contributes tothelap-splicedcolumn'sincreased
flexural strength and ductile behaviour, improving the
lateral performance of columns. Figure 3 shows the basic
steel jacketing of the concrete structure [26].
Fig -3: Steel Jacketing
3.4 Steel Caging
Figure 4 demonstratedthesteel cagingofthestructure. To
improve the total energy dissipation potential and lateral
stiffness, a strengthening technique using steel caging is

proposed to raise the lateral strength of weak ground-storey
columns. This will also improve the seismic performance of
non-ductile open-ground-storey RC frames. With the aim of
having the structure generate enough flexural strength and
inelastic rotation at a target yield mechanism to survive the
likely seismic demand, a performance-based design
methodology was developed [27].

4. LITERATURE REVIEW
The author [28] carried out an experimental study by
externally bonding GFRP sheets to the RC beam and testing
under the two-point static loading system. The study is
based on the flexural behaviour of RC beams wrapped with
GFRP sheets. Six reinforced concrete beams were made for
this, and it was found that all six of them had the same
reinforcement details and were weak in flexural loads. The
bottom of the GFRP sheet wrapping in a 70% preloaded
beam can increase the flexural capacity of the beam by 14%
(on ultimate load) in comparison to the control beam, the
researchers found. They separated three beams, used three
as control beams, and strengthened the other three using
GFRP in the tension zone.
Using rubberized fibre sheets tested under two-point loads,
the authors [29] undertook experimental work on the
retrofitting of reinforced concrete beams. The goal of this
experiment was to repair structurally flawed beams and
make them usable in both flexure and shear. Additionally,
they make the modifications so order to guarantee that the
stiffness and strength values are higher than those of the
control beam. Values for the parameters are higher than
those for the control beams. First crack, load deflection, and
RCFS debonding were the metrics that this study's
researchers discovered, along with patterns of fracture
propagation. To increase shear strength and strengthen at
the same time, they used shear straps. The test findings
revealed that the retrofitted RCFS beams have significantly
higher stiffness than the control beams, and their deflection
is significantly decreased early in the loading cycle. There is
a rise in the ultimate loads upon failure.
In order to strengthen the reinforced concrete beam (RC)
against flexure, the author[30]investigatedthepotential use
of externally bonded hybrid fibre reinforced polymer
(HYFRP) with a combination of glass (GFRP) and carbon
(CFRP)based laminates. To evaluate the flexure strength, a
total of five beams with cross sectionsmeasuring150mm by
250 mm by 3000 mm long and 2800 mm simply supported
span were cast. Five beams were used, one of which actedas
a reference beam. The other four were composed of hybrid
FRP laminates, with the parameters measured being stirrup
spacing, HYFRP laminate thickness,andcompositeratio.The
test findings demonstrated that theRCbeamreinforced with
hybrid fibre reinforced polymer (HYFRP) exhibited
enhanced strength and composite action up until failure.
The author conducted a study on reinforced concrete beam
failure behaviour in 2015 [31]. strengthened with a brand-
new type of wire mesh-epoxy composite reinforcing
material. Additionally, it was contrasted with an RC beam
reinforced with a CFRP sheet (carbon fibre reinforced
polymer). The test results revealed that using a wire mesh-
epoxy composite improved the stiffness, yield strength, and
first crack load of reinforced beams. In addition, using a
hybrid wire mesh-epoxy-carbon fibre composite resulted in
better post-yield behaviour and reduced the risk of CFRP
sheets coming loose during the yielding process.
According to a study [32], the flexural behaviour of
reinforced concrete beams with multi-directional basalt
fibre-reinforced polymer composites. By externally
reinforcing the concrete beams, the research discusses an
experimental behaviour of the basalt fibre reinforced
polymer composite. At the bottom face of the RC beam, the
BFRP composite is wrapped in one, two, three, and four
layers. Based on the results of this experiment, the first
fracture load is increased from 6.79 to 47.98 percent
depending on the increment in layers. The maximum load
carrying capacity has also been raised from 5.66 to 20
percent. The crack spacing likewisedecreasesasthenumber
of layers rises. The majority of the reinforced beams in
unidirectional BFRP displayed compressionandflexurecum
crushing modes. The number of layers is increased, which

increases the beams' stiffness. By expanding the basalt fibre
layers, the curvature of strengthened beams is also reduced.
The number of cracks increases while crack spacing
decreases due to an increase in basalt fibre layers.
The study titled "Comparative evaluation of different
retrofitting strategies" is examined by the author [33]. For a
very long time, concrete has been a significant and
productive material in the construction sector. It is used in
the building industry in a wide variety of ways. From this
experiment, all beams were retrofitted utilizing various
procedures, including HFRC, FRC, SIFCON, SIMCON, and
Ferro cement. Apply mortar to the full beam after covering
the entire beam with SIMCON. Apply mortar- and slurry-
infiltrated fibre concrete (steel fibre)tothesurfaceof beams.
The same procedure will be used for polypropylene fibre. In
Ferro cement retrofitting, chickenmeshand weldedwireare
utilized to cover the beams before the surfaces are covered
with mortar. As a result, it can be said that the concrete
beam retrofitted with SIFCONyieldshigherflexural strength,
with the percentage in the flexural strength as compared to
the beam without retrofitting being found to be 85.03
percent. The concrete beam retrofitted with Ferro cement
also yields higher flexural strength.
RC beams retrofitted in flexure and shear by pre-tensioned
steel ribbons were the subject of an experimental
examination by the authors [34]. According to this inquiry,
the pre-stressed stainless steel ribbon serves as an auxiliary
transversal reinforcement and encloses the structural
element. Nine shear deficient beams and six flexural
deficient beams were cast and tested in the current study.In
the first group, four beams were retrofitted with transversal
ribbons and bottom stainless steel angles spaced at two
different intervals, while in the second group, three
specimens were retrofitted by wrapping the beam with
ribbons, and the remaining three specimens were
strengthened by perforating the beam beneath the slab
height and by partially wrapping the beam by putting the
ribbons through the hole. It was determined that the test
results demonstrated the effectiveness of the method.
The study [35] investigated the use of external bars at the
soffit level to retrofit RC beams for flexural loads. In an
experimental investigation, the authors suggested that the
exterior bars be retained at the beam section's soffit level to
avoid the need for mechanical anchoring devices like
deflectors and make the design more practical,
straightforward, and efficient. The improved ductility
decreased deflection and fracture width, and increased
moment bearing capacity of the current method are further
benefits. The inherent drawbacks of existing retrofitting
techniques, such as section enlargement, bonded steel
plating, external post-tensioning strengthening, and
strengthening withFRPcompositesheets,includehighcoast,
the need for sophisticated tools, an increase in sectional
area, and surface preparation. De-bonding failures, a poor
cost-benefit ratio, costly maintenance, etc. The suggested
method of maintaining reinforcement externally atthesoffit
level has various benefits, including simple and quick
execution, no installation disruption, a low self-weightneed,
and no discernible reduction in headroom [36].
5.CONCLUSION
For the purpose of finding more effective sustainable
retrofitting approaches, new techniques are being
developed. The most popular methods are those that were
just stated. The retrofitting of a structure affects how that
structure responds to risks other than those related to
flooding, such as wind hazards, and the architect, engineer,
or code official must be aware of this. When it is possible,
dangers should be approached holistically. The retrofitting
process should take into accountbothflood-relatedand non-
flood-related risks, such as earthquake and wind forces, as
well as water-borne ice and debris impact forces, erosion
forces, and mudslide impacts. A structure's ability to endure
the several risks outlined above may be harmed by
retrofitting it to simply withstand floodwater-generated
stresses. As a result, it's crucial to use a multi-hazard
strategy while choosing a retrofitting method and designing
the project.
