| Abstract: |
The paper deals with three intervention techniques implemented for the rehabilitation and strengthening of reinforced concrete (RC) structures in the Bulgarian construction practice. Some of the main details of the conceptual design are presented: 1) identification of vulnerabilities and evaluation of deficiencies; 2) understanding the performance of the existing structures; 3) determining the level of intervention; 4) analysis of possible intervention materials; 5)assessing available information, documents, historical context, etc.; 6) preparing individual strategies for interventions. The analyzed examples give the basic of different procedures for improvement the performance of three classic reinforced concrete structures. The analysis aims (1) to discover the problems in the design of interventions in the specific cases, (2) to discuss the question for interventions, (3) to show how interventions on existing structures can be reached successfully under current conditions and restrictions. Based on the presented case studies some general recommendations for the realization of the strengthening procedures in buildings are given. |
