Abstract:

It is important to analyze the old structures for structural integration to understand the type and extent of damage the structure has sustained and what type of retrofitting is further required. The case study involves a 55 years old building that has suffered extensive weathering damage. Rigorous analysis for functionality and durability of the structure was done using non-destructive testing methods (NDT) and core cutting. Two NDT methods employed were ultrasonic pulse velocity (UPV) and rebound hammer (RH) along with core cutting at a critical location. A damage contour map was drawn for a better understanding of the extent and intensity of damage sustained by the structure and appropriate retrofitting and repairs were advised.

Keywords:

Core cutting, Damage contour, Rebound hammer, Ultrasonic pulse velocity.
