Presentation of Ph.D. Thesis
Reinforced concrete jacketing has been used widely for strengthening RC columns. In some cases, such as corner and edge columns, it is impossible to strengthen a column using a full jacket. Many studies have focused on fully strengthened reinforced concrete columns. However additional study is required for partially strengthened RC columns from two and three sides. So, this research focused on studying the effectiveness of strengthening the corner and edge columns under vertical load and under the combination of vertical and lateral loads. Also, the research illustrated the behavior of RC columns strengthened by RC jackets from two, three, and four sides of the perimeter and it investigated the effect of using the different interaction methods between original columns and strengthening jackets such as friction, dowels, and stirrups' welding.
A new design equation was developed from this study to calculate the capacity of a partially strengthened column under vertical load. An analytical approach was introduced to predict partial strengthened R.C. column capacity for axial and eccentric loading. By the aid of this analytical approach, flow charts were created to get the capacity of corner and edge columns subjected to vertical and lateral loads. Recommendations for column behavior after strengthening were presented to help structural engineers to capture the best efficiency from the full and partial strengthening.
an analytical study and experimental program were performed. The experimental study consisted of group of specimens having 1000 mm height, 100x100 mm cross section, and main reinforcement 4Γ10 mm with stirrups 9Γ4 mm. The specimens were divided into fifteen study cases. Different parameters such as strengthening sides, surface connections, jacket to column stirrups connection type, and loads directions due to the column location. The results were compared with some of the design equations in various codes and the results from finite element analysis.

INTRODUCTION
The reasons of columns strengthening:
β’ Errors in design or bad detailing.
β’ Improper quality control measures (poor construction
materials and workmanship).
β’ Unexpected loading, like earthquakes, strong winds, impact
and explosive loading.
β’ Functional changes in the service of the structure.
β’ Deterioration by time.
β’ Columns can sustain two main types of loads, the axial
loads and the lateral loads.
β’ Columns have a high axial load capacity compared to their
lateral load capacity.
β’ Building elements like columns are constructed to resist
both internal and lateral loads from actions as wind and
earthquakes.
4. First type : Based on the column height, the RC jacket can be as follow
1- The global jacket confines the column's whole height.
2- The local jacket is used to confine a part of the column's full height,
such as a quarter, one third, half, two thirds, or three-quarters of the
column's full height.

Validation of the slip factor
To calculate the capacity of the
strengthened or partial strengthened
columns by the previous method, it
should be known the value of the slip
factor. For this a lot of trials were made
to get it. By the experimental results
from this research and by another
research βKaliyaperumal, Seismic
retrofit of columns in buildings for
flexure using concrete jacket, ISET
Journal of Earthquake Technology, Vol.
46, No. 2, June 2009, pp. 77β107β, the
models of the same strengthened
columns were solved by the previous
method with various slip factor till the
result of the modeling agree with the
result of the experimental result. the
closet slip factor value was 0.25 from the
validation.

Based on the experimental and analytical results of partially
strengthened columns using concrete jackets and subjected to vertical
or both vertical and lateral loads, the following conclusions were
obtained:
οΌ Using two or three side jackets could increase columns capacities if good
connection between jacket and column is established.
οΌ The best results of columns strengthening from two and three sides have been
obtained from using welding between core and jacket stirrups. So, using welding
is recommended at partially strengthening of columns.
οΌ Using dowels at columns strengthening improves the behavior of strengthened
columns from two and three sides. but it is not recommended for gravel columns,
because the dowels in gravel columns make it weak due to the holes which had
been made to fix the dowels.
οΌ The strengthening of columns without using dowels or welding increases the
capacities of columns and achieves satisfied results.
οΌ Increasing number of strengthening sides increases column gained capacity for
columns subjected to both axial and lateral loadings. It was noticed that the
gained capacity depends on loading direction with respect to jacket location.

οΌ The results of the finite element models agree with an acceptable margin
to the experimental results, and it achieved an accuracy of 98% in case
of vertical loads, and 82 % in case of the combination of lateral loads.
οΌ In the case of full strengthening of the RC columns, the jacket alone
carries the lateral load, and the core doesnβt carry any lateral load. So,
the slip value has no effect at this case.
οΌ Structural engineers can use the new equation to design the strengthened
RC column that subjects to vertical load.
οΌ Structural engineers can use the charts of the nominal failure surfaces
for jacketed columns to design the strengthened RC column that
subjects to vertical and lateral loads.

Future Work
As a result of this work, several items should
be considered in future research:
ο± Study the strengthening of any number of columns sides of the
perimeter of various columns shape as T, and L sections.
ο± Study the strengthened corner and edge columns by using steel
cages and try to get design equations.
Analytical

ο± Study the partially strengthened columns using various types of
concrete jackets such as shotcrete jackets or concrete with fibers
jackets.
ο± Study various types of jackets for partially strengthening as
ferrocement jackets.
