Concrete Column Jacketing Techniques by nazeer_mohd is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This document discusses column jacketing, which is a method of retrofitting existing columns to increase their strength. It involves adding reinforced concrete or steel around the column. Some key points: - Jacketing improves the axial and shear strength of the column and may avoid the need for major foundation strengthening. - It is commonly used when load on the column increases, there was an error in the original design, or the column has deteriorated. - Advantages include increased seismic capacity
