Abstract
There is a pressing need to repair or upgrade the building and civil infrastructure in many parts of the world. For instance with the modernization of buildings, it is sometimes desirable to remove supporting walls or individual supports, leading to the need for local strengthening. The strengthening and enhancement of the performance of deficient structural elements or the structure as a whole is referred to as retrofitting. Retrofit aims to strengthen a building to satisfy the requirements of the current codes for seismic design. The building may not be damaged or deteriorated. The various retrofitting techniques include steel plate bonding, polymer injection followed by concrete jacketing, use of advanced composite materials like FRP, Ferro cement etc.
