Reinforcement of reinforced concrete elements by casing with mortars and concretes
According to the criterion of the hierarchy of resistances (Capacity Design), the pillars are the structural elements that must resist seismic stresses the most to ensure that the structure does not collapse. During the design phase, they are subject to forces that are amplified in favor of safety, therefore their reinforcement also during the safety phase is essential. In case of need to increase the sections, after the passivation of the irons, it is possible to proceed with the thickening using pourable mortar after appropriate formwork.
