Jacketing is used to strengthen weak RCC columns which have been deteriorated over a

period of time due to adverse atmospheric conditions or due to poor maintenance.

In this method weak concrete is totally removed . Rusted rebars are also removed. Extra
rebars are provided and total sectional are is increased to increase compressive strength
of columns. Extra rebars are provided with stirrups and connected to old concrete with
shear keys.Bond coat is applied on old concrete surface and polymer concrete is poured
in form work.

Jacketing can be done from all sides or it can be from three/two sides. It can be from
one side also.
