Deflection due to Strengthening of columns

 

Jacketing is the process of fastening a durable material over concrete and filling the gap with a grout that provides needed performance characteristics.

 

The column jacket can also be used for increasing the punching shear strength of column slab connections by using it as a column capital. When the jacket is provided around the periphery of the column, it is termed a collar. In most of the applications, the main function of the collar is to transfer vertical load to the column. Circular reinforcement can be used for load transfer. The practice of transferring load through dowel bars embedded into columns or shear keys has a disadvantage in that they require drilling of holes for dowels or cutting shear keys which are costly and time consuming, and can damage the existing column. Reinforcement encircling the column can be used to transfer the load through shear friction. The expansion of collar as it slides along the roughened surface causes the tensioning of circular reinforcement resulting in radial compression, which provide normal force needed for load transfer. The shear transfer strength is provided by both frictional resistance to sliding and dowel action of reinforcement crossing the crack.


The collar is subjected to shear and bending along the collar circumference as well as direct bearing stress under concentrated load. In addition shear transfer reinforcement, the collar should be provided with reinforcement for shear and moment within collar. Column collars can be provided below the slab to act as column capital to improve punching shear strength of the slab column connection
