1 Concrete structures Case studies PIETRO CROCE Department of Civil Engineering Structural division University of Pisa Leonardo da Vinci Assessment of existing structures Project number: CZ/08/LLP-LdV/TOI/134005

2 An existing building requires structural reassessment when: its reliability is inadequate, also due to misuse or human errors; the structure is modified and/or enlarged; the category of use of the structure is improved and/or its design working life is increased; the structure has been damaged or deteriorated by environmental, chemical or biological, attack or by more general time dependent effects; the structure has been damaged by accidental loads, e.g. earthquake or explosion, or by settlements or by other unintentional events like impacts, vibrations, water losses and so on.

3 According to the flow charts reported in section 4, the investigation process involves the acquisition of all relevant information concerning: the original design and structural conception of the building, as well as the reference structural codes, if any; the sequence of structural modifications during its life, addition or demolition of structural parts and/or deep maintenance interventions; actual material properties; actual damage and/or crack patterns; required performance level.

4 CASE STUDY N. 1 STRENGTHENING OF R.C. COLUMNS

7 Building plan with indication of columns to be strengthened

8 Usually, two different techniques are used in the rehabilitation of damaged r.c. columns, according as FRP or steel is used as reinforcing material. In these cases two aspects must be considered in the choice of repair technique: the needs of a good confinement od the concrete, which can be assured by both techniques, and the efficiency of the reinforcement in transferring the stresses from the original column core, which carries the permanent loads, and the new parts, which can be obtained in a much more easy and reliable way using steel. In fact, while the additional steel reinforcement can be mechanically bonded to the existing concrete column using shear connectors, the FRP longitudinal reinforcement should relies on the surface grip between the adhesive agent and the concrete, which can fail due to peeling or delamination.

11 execution of holes in concrete necessary to allows the passage of connecting devices (threaded rods) positioning of transverse steel plates and of connecting devices using epoxy resin to anchor the rods and epoxy mortar to regularize the surface

12 positioning of the longitudinal reinforcement and of the end joints, devoted to connect the reinforcement to the foundation and to beams
