Strength Assessment and Restoration of RC Structures by Structural Health Monitoring Techniques

In effect, concrete is broadly used as a building material due to the fact of its excessive strength cost ratio in many applications. Concrete constructions are commonly predicted to supply bother free provider in the course of its meant design life. However, these expectations are not realized in many constructions due to the fact of structural deficiency, material deterioration, unanticipated over loadings or physical harm and for that reason Civil structures like buildings, dams, bridges etc are subjected to non stop deterioration over the years. This extent of damage or deterioration appreciably depends on the great of substances and workmanship at each the building stage. The deterioration of constructions can be a end result of a range of factors inclusive of furnace damage, frost action, chemical attack, corrosion of steel and so forth at some stage in the lifestyles span of the structure. The investigation of soundness is for this reason imperative for discovering the current serviceability of the structure and its scope for future developments or for the change in its utilization. Such an investigation can be carried out the usage of the following methods a Visual examination b Non Destructive Testing c Partial Destructive Testing. Besides, it turns into imperative for buildings hit with the aid of an earthquake, a bomb blast or any different calamity. In general, Soundness estimation to be executed for constructions which are crossed over 15 years of age. A. Karthikeyan | R.
