There can be many reasons such as ever increasing population, changes in the operating system, required improvement of safety margins etc. This will be managed by increasing the number of stories. But the existing structure may or may not be able to sustain the newly constructed stories. Since the load carrying capacity of existing structure reduces due to age and relaxation. The existing structure must be strengthened to sustain additional storey load. During the design process various governing factors (like additional load, earthquake load, additional live load etc) will be considered. Key words: Structure, Earthquake, Load Storey, Load Stories I. INTRODUCTION Jacketing is one of the most widely used worldwide technique for the strengthening of the structure. In this method, the R.C columns are strengthened by increasing stiffness and axial strength of an existing column. A durable material is fastened over concrete and gap is filled with grout. The section of an existing structural element is restored by encasing in new concrete. The scope of this paper is to present the design for strengthening the existing two storey structure to bear the loads and moments of altered four storey structure. The need to strengthen a structure may be required from the beginning of the construction of structure until the end of the life of the structure. During the construction phase, it may occur because of change in design, bad workmanship during construction, the addition of floor, change in utility etc. The decision to strengthen must be made only after the inspection of the structure, its structural evaluation and a cost study of the different solutions. The choice of strengthening method depends on the structural behaviour objectives. The strengthening may be achieved by increasing the resistance to lateral loads, improving the ductility, and an association of both. Primarily, the strengthening techniques for reinforced concrete structures are adding of new structural elements and strengthening of the existing structural elements. Strengthening an RC element basically involves the increase of strength and stiffness of the existing RC element. II. STRENGTHENING TECHNIQUE In the strengthening of the foundation where the altered structure demands more size and depth of footing than the existing footing, the footing size and depth is increased by jacketing. Jacketing of columns consists of providing the additional longitudinal steel as required in the design for biaxial bending and axial compression. The axial and shear
strength of columns is increased with this type of strengthening. The lateral load capacity of the building is increased reasonably, In addition, the original geometry and function of the structure can be maintained. The jacketing of columns is generally made by two methods: (i) steel jacketing and (ii) reinforced concrete jacketing A. RC Jacketing Reinforced concrete jacketing can be employed as a repair or strengthening technique. Damaged regions of the existing elements should be repaired prior to their jacketing. There are two main objectives of jacketing of columns: (i) Increase in the shear strength of columns in order to accomplish a strong column and weak beam design and (ii) To improve the column's bending strength by the longitudinal reinforcement of the jacket made continuous through the slab system is anchored with the foundation.The new longitudinal reinforcement is passed through holes drilled in the slab and by placing new concrete joints. Rehabilitated cross sections are designed in this way so that the flexural strength of columns should be more than that of the beams. Transverse steel above and below the joint has been provided.The longitudinal reinforcement usually is consolidated in the column corners because of the existence of the beams. It is advised that not more than 3 bars be bundled together. Windows are usually drilled through the slab to allow the steel to pass as well as to enable the concrete casting process. Following are details for reinforced concrete jackets. The compressive strength is greater by 5 N/mm2 or matches that of existing structure. The properties of jackets are similar with that of jackets. The minimum width of jackets should be 4cm for shotcrete and 10 cm for cast in-situ. Four sided jacket should be the priority. The behavior of composite column is monolithic Its gives assurance of composite column to be monolithic. The minimum area of longitudinal steel should be Af, where A is area of contact and f is in kg/cm2. The spacing should not be greater than six times width of the new element. The minimum steel provided should be in the range of 0.015 to 0.04. Minimum 12 mm dia bar should be used in corners of jacket. The transverse steel should be designed and spaced as per seismic design practice. The minimum dia for lateral ties should not be less than 10 mm. The hooks of ties should be bent at 135-degree. Ties made up of multiple pieces should be used.
