Sometimes
costly structures get damaged and it becomes problem to decide whether the
structures should be completely dismantled or it can be repaired by special
treatment of special materials. By this way too much cost can be saved. The
damaged structures are repaired by various methods, one of the methods is
jacketing.
Jacketing may be done to the structures like columns, piers, beams
etc. This is the advance technique of repairs which provides adequate strength
to the structures. Various materials are available for jacketing , one of them
is concrete paste which is prepared by mixing appropriately- sika latex , armateck 108 liquids
and powder components , stone chips , sand , water and adequate quantity of
plasticizer are mixed together and concrete mass is prepared. This concrete
mass is applied to the damaged part in the form of jacket. If required
reinforcement may also be provided by drilling holes in the structures. This is
the scope of research that many such adhesive materials can be found and
required for various types of paste and concrete, may be prepared and used to repair
the damaged structures.
