Retrofitting in the construction industry - ConstructionPlacements

Abstract

For RCC buildings, various retrofitting methods exist. The retrofitting methods for RCC structures are often divided into two groups, such as Global and Local retrofit methods. Among the often-employed techniques for retrofitting a structure are: Adding Steel Bracing When huge openings need to be made in a building, steel bracing is a practical solution. The ductility of a reinforced concrete column is greatly increased in these types of retrofitting approaches for RCC buildings. Retrofitting of the structure is crucial in current or upcoming actions to safely withstand load.The retrofitted buildings have reduced carbon emissions and are more energy efficient. Disadvantages of Retrofitting In addition to its benefits, retrofitting includes a number of drawbacks, including: The worker's abilities must adhere to the retrofitting strategies that have been adopted. For contractors working on retrofit projects, a comprehensive understanding of the scope of the retrofitting tasks is essential.
