Structure Repairs & RehabilitationB . Building Materials• Cement• Lime• Fine Sand• Coarse Sand• Coarse Aggregate• Quality of Water• Bamboo/Wood• Brick
Structure Repairs & Rehabilitation C. Technology • Architectural Design• Structural Design Based On Load Bearing Wall• Construction Methods• Quality Practices• Construction Management
Structure Repairs & Rehabilitation
D Workmanship• Structural Work • Finishing Work• Water Proofing Work• Development of Drainage (Internal &
External)• Maintenance Of Building
Structure Repairs & Rehabilitation Building Needs Repairs & Retrofitting• Crack & Spalling In Structural Members• Crack & Settlement In Flooring• Crack & Spalling in Non Structural Members• Leakage In Water Supply & Drainage System• Redesigning existing structure for nature
forces• Changed functional requirements
Structure Repairs & Rehabilitation
Crack & Spalling In Structural Members• Cracks Occur Due To Settlement In Foundation • Cracks Due To Earth Quack ,Wind• Crack Due To Overloading Of Structure• Crack Due To Reduction in Load Carrying
Capacity of Structure Due To Weathering• Crack Due To Improper Design Of Structure• Crack due to Poor connection Of Structural
Members Resulted From Poor Workmanship
Structure Repairs & RehabilitationCrack & Settlement In Flooring• Due To Improper Plinth Filling• In case of black cotton soil in foundation not replaced
up to sufficient depth by Good Soil under plinth (For generating enough Counter weight upon black cotton soil)
• Water Table vary within the Plinth Sub base (this occur in frequent flooding area & near sea soar)
• Improper curing, Improper laying, Poor Quality of workmanship.
• Improper design for loading i.e. thickness & type of flooring.
Structure Repairs & RehabilitationCrack & Spalling in Non Structural Members• Crack In Plaster• Crack In Finishing• Crack In Water Proofing Work• Vertical cracks in long boundary wall due to
thermal movement Or Shrinkage.• Crack Induced due to thermal changes,
change in moisture content in building material, Chemical Reactions
Structure Repairs & RehabilitationLeakage In Water Supply & Drainage• It may result from structural cracks & settlement• Improper selection of pipe thickness• Improper selection of Supports & its spacing to
Pipe• Improper making Of joints• Non Provision for contraction & expansion
(Particularly when pipe is passing over different type of long structures)
• Non Testing of Pipe before & after laying• Insufficient soil cover over pipe
Structure Repairs & RehabilitationRedesigning existing structure to meet functional requirement
as well as forces generated by NatureIt is a comprehensive task & require planning which include
following Information gathering.• Field investigations including details of sub strata,
foundation details• Type of Existing structure & its members stability• Design Data Collection• Identification of components required to be strengthened,
replaced.• Cost Estimates (it is feasible up to 60% of new construction)• Method or Procedure to be fallowed.
Structure Repairs & Rehabilitation
Crack Investigation• Location• Profile (vertical, Horizontal, Diagonal)• Crack Size throughout length (Width,Depth & length) Thin crack< 1mm Medium Crack >1 to 2 mm Wide Crack > 2 mm Crack may be non-uniform width. i.e. Tapper in
width(narrow at one end & wider at other end. )• Static or Live cracks
Structure Repairs & Rehabilitation• Cracks are static or live, is monitored & recorded
by “Tell-Tale” method
Crack in wall
Quick setting mortar or Adhesive
Crack in Glass strips
Glass strips of 2 to 3 C.M. in width & 10 to 12 C.M.in length
Widening Of Crack
Marking in Glass
Structure Repairs & Rehabilitation
These Crack occur around opening due to drying shrinkage & thermal movement in a building resulting weakening in the wall.
Structure Repairs & Rehabilitation
Expansion & thickening of roots creating concentration of stress at joints & weak locations such as openings
Structure Repairs & RehabilitationThe long horizontal crack resulted due to deflection of slab and lifting up of edge of the slab, combined with horizontal movement in the slab due to shrinkage.
Structure Repairs & Rehabilitation
This Cracks are due to pull exerted on the wall by the slab because of drying shrinkage and thermal contraction this pull results in bending of the wall which causes cracking at a weak section, that is, at the lintel or sill level of the window openings. Such cracks generally occurs when windows and room spans are very large. This cracks can be avoided by providing slip joints at slab supports on the walls.

Slip Joint(two or three layer of tarred paper are placed over plastered surface)
12 mm Gap ,3/4 filled with Mastic Compound
Structure Repairs & Rehabilitation
Thickness of plaster is to much high & silt content is also Very High
Structure Repairs & RehabilitationLonger opening & less bearing & deteriorated lintel load capacity exposes diagonal crack which is widened towards corner wall edge.
Structure Repairs & Rehabilitation
Vertical crack under window occur when wall have large window opening & little wall space on both side of opening. Difference in stress due to more stress in wall portion adjoining to window & less stressed portion under sill of window results in crack.
Structure Repairs & Rehabilitation
Cantilever Chajja not having main bars on upper face
Structure Repairs & Rehabilitation When two adjacent walls shake in different
directions, their joint at corners comes under a lot of stress. This causes crack at the junction of two walls.
In Normal conditions, cracks in this location comes when one of wall expand more than short wall.
Structure Repairs & Rehabilitation When the long wall bends outward or inwards
vertically in the middle of its length, this stretching causes tension and causes vertical cracks in the walls.
Structure Repairs & Rehabilitation Similarly when the walls bends outward or inwards
horizontally in the middle of its height, this stretching causes tension and causes horizontal cracks in the walls. This happens
at the base of gable wall.
Structure Repairs & Rehabilitation Many times the wall gets pulled from its corners. This results in to tearing of wall in diagonal direction. In the wall if there is a window or a door, then the diagonal crack occur at their corners.
Structure Repairs & Rehabilitation Flexural Tension Cracks At Lintel Level Due to Shrinkage & contraction of R.C.C. Slab
Structure Repairs & Rehabilitation If the window is very large or if there are many doors and windows in a wall, then it tears even more easily in an earthquake.
Structure Repairs & Rehabilitation Many times the roof slides on top
of the walls on which it is sitting on

CRACK IN BRICK
PLACING OF RCC BLOCK AFTER CUTTING HOLE IN B.W.
Structure Repairs & Rehabilitation Repairing Of Crack Due To Structural Cause• Replace all cracked bricks• Use R.C.C. Stitching Block In Vertical Spacing In
Every 5th or 6th Course ( 0.5 meter apart ).• Stitching block Width=equal to wall width, Length = 1.5 to 2 bricks, Thick =1 or 2 bricks as per severity of cracks• Mortar For Repairs 1:1:6 (1 Cement :1 lime: 6
sand)
Structure Repairs & Rehabilitation load bearing walls(May be Brick or Stone) have inbuilt
deficiency.• Each Brick have different strength• Thickness of Mortar Joints are not also uniform.• Bricks are not perfectly laid horizontally & vertically • Opening in walls• Improper staggered joints• Use of unwanted Brick bats1. These resulted in cumulative effect & concentration
of stress in particular section of wall is more than other section.
Structure Repairs & RehabilitationCorrective Measures For Load Bearing Wall Building• Therefore Shifting of Window, Door ,Inbuilt
construction of Almirah should be carried out with due consideration to IS code 13828:1993
• Proper Bearing to lintel over brick work to avoid diagonal cracks & it can be done in retrofitting work.
• It is advisable to keep window width as less as feasible while height can be increased with fixed glass pans on top portion as per slide 41.

• This Presentation was focused on Low Strength Masonry Buildings therefore for framed structures & rich cement mortar building ,certain slides are in-valid. In next Presentation this balance portion will be highlighted.
• This Presentation was aiming to provide some technical input to site peoples so that we could point out any doubtful detailing in drawings to Structural/Architectural Designer.
• It is possible that features of Flood, Heavy Rain fall, Cyclone, earth quack may collide but We have to look priority of our geographical requirement.
