Repair and Rehabilitation of Fireside Damaged Concrete Structure
Main Article Content
Abstract
This research work is completed to embrace the project work on rehabilitation and retrofitting of fireside damaged concrete buildings. This study explains the rehab process of fireside damaged concrete buildings in three basic categories; condition evaluation, higher cognitive process, rehabilitation & retrofitting. Evaluation method of damaged building has been based upon understanding of fabric properties at elevated temperatures, condition survey and condition assessment. Condition survey includes visual inspection, hammering and chiselling techniques whereas condition assessment includes both non-destructive and destructive tests that are selected upon the premise of efficiency, economy, and performance. Feasibility study is required to form right decisions for the rehab of fireside damaged building. Such a feasibility study should include all important aspects which will have a control within the future, therefore must be considered in higher cognitive process. The method and testing procedures can be used to evaluate the level of damage and feasibility of repair needed. The evaluation can be used to whether to repair or to demolish the structure
