Post-Installed Fastening in Concrete in the Context of Retrofitting of Structures
Abstract
As the vulnerability of structures to different hazards has increased at a significant rate, the concept of retrofitting has gained more and more relevance to restore to original condition without undergoing heavy dismantling of the same. It is the process of adding of new features to a structure or altering an existing structure in order to improve its performance characteristics, address the deficiency and the same time comply to the current standards and regulations. A comprehensive plan from health inspection through selection of retrofitting method is prepared keeping in mind the purpose of use, performance requirements, safety, and durability perspective, giving due consideration to feasibility as well as overall economy. And with the evolution of multiple engineered solutions to increase the feasibility of retrofitting work, post installed fastening has emerged as one of the most commonly adopted techniques by practicing engineers
