Abstract – Structural deterioration of reinforced cement concrete (RCC) structures has become a major concern due to aging infrastructure, environmental exposure, corrosion of reinforcement, and increasing load demands. In many situations, demolishing and reconstructing such structures is economically impractical and environmentally undesirable. Therefore, structural assessment and rehabilitation techniques play an important role in extending the service life of existing structures.
This study focuses on the evaluation and strengthening of RCC structural components through systematic condition assessment and suitable rehabilitation methods. The structural condition was initially investigated using non-destructive testing (NDT) techniques to determine concrete quality, detect internal defects, and estimate the remaining load-carrying capacity of structural members. Based on the assessment results, appropriate strengthening strategies were identified.
Strengthening techniques such as concrete jacketing and section enhancement were considered to improve structural performance. These methods contribute to increasing the load-bearing capacity, stiffness, durability, and ductility of the structural system. Analytical investigation was carried out using ETABS software through pushover analysis to understand the seismic behavior of the structure.
The study demonstrates that proper assessment combined with suitable strengthening techniques can significantly improve the performance and service life of RCC structures. The findings highlight the importance of adopting systematic evaluation and rehabilitation strategies to ensure structural safety and long-term durability.
Keywords: Structural Assessment, RCC Rehabilitation, Strengthening Techniques, NDT, Jacketing, Durability, Ductility.

INTRODUCTION
Reinforced cement concrete (RCC) is one of the most widely used construction materials due to its strength, durability, and versatility in structural applications. Despite its advantages, the performance of RCC structures may gradually deteriorate over time because of environmental exposure, corrosion of reinforcement, construction defects, increased loading conditions, and seismic influences. Such deterioration can reduce the structural capacity and affect the overall safety and serviceability of buildings.
To maintain the structural integrity of aging infrastructure, it is essential to carry out proper condition assessment before implementing any repair or strengthening measures. Structural assessment involves detailed inspection, evaluation of visible damage, and the use of appropriate testing methods to determine the current state of the structure. Non-destructive testing (NDT) techniques are particularly useful in this process, as they allow engineers to evaluate the in-situ condition of concrete without causing damage to structural members.
Once the condition of the structure has been determined, suitable rehabilitation techniques can be applied to restore or enhance its performance. Rehabilitation generally includes repairing damaged regions, strengthening structural components, and improving the load-carrying capacity of the system. Common strengthening methods include concrete jacketing, steel reinforcement enhancement, and the use of advanced materials such as fiber-reinforced polymers.
Proper implementation of these rehabilitation strategies helps extend the functional life of existing structures while reducing the need for complete reconstruction. As a result, structural rehabilitation has become an effective and economical solution in modern civil engineering practice.

RELATED WORK
Several researchers have investigated the assessment and rehabilitation of RCC structures in order to improve their structural performance and durability. Studies indicate that the deterioration of reinforced concrete structures is commonly associated with reinforcement corrosion, environmental exposure, poor construction practices, and increased service loads during the life of the structure.
Earlier investigations primarily relied on visual inspection and destructive testing methods for evaluating structural condition. With technological advancements, non-destructive testing (NDT) methods have become widely adopted for assessing the in-situ properties of concrete. Techniques such as the rebound hammer test, ultrasonic pulse velocity test, half-cell potential measurement, and core sampling are frequently used to estimate concrete strength, detect internal defects, and evaluate durability characteristics.
Various strengthening approaches have also been explored to enhance the performance of deteriorated structural members. Conventional techniques such as concrete jacketing and steel plate bonding have been shown to significantly improve load-carrying capacity and stiffness of structural elements. In recent years, advanced materials such as fiber-reinforced polymers (FRP) have gained attention due to their high strength-to-weight ratio, corrosion resistance, and ease of installation.
Research findings suggest that jacketing methods effectively increase axial strength and flexural capacity, while FRP strengthening improves ductility and resistance to cyclic loading. However, the success of these strengthening systems depends greatly on factors such as surface preparation, bonding quality, and proper design considerations.
Standards and guidelines such as IS 15988 provide procedures for evaluating and strengthening existing reinforced concrete structures, particularly in seismic regions. Case studies reported in the literature demonstrate that combining detailed structural assessment with suitable rehabilitation techniques can significantly improve structural safety and extend the operational life of RCC structures..

Current Research Gap
Although significant progress has been made in the field of structural assessment and rehabilitation of RCC structures, several limitations and gaps still exist that require further investigation. One of the major gaps is the lack of a unified and standardized methodology for selecting appropriate strengthening techniques based on the actual condition of the structure. In many cases, rehabilitation methods are chosen based on experience rather than detailed performance-based evaluation.
Another important limitation is the dependency on individual Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) methods. While NDT techniques provide valuable insights, relying on a single method may not accurately represent the true condition of the structure. There is a need for integrated assessment approaches that combine multiple testing methods with analytical modeling for more reliable results.
In terms of strengthening techniques, conventional methods such as jacketing are widely used, but they often increase the dead load and alter the geometry of the structure. On the other hand, advancd materials like FRP offer better performance but are still limited by higher costs, lack of skilled application, and insufficient long-term performance data under varying environmental conditions.
Additionally, there is limited research on the behavior of rehabilitated structures under combined loading conditions, especially seismic and dynamic loads. The long-term durability, bond performance, and failure mechanisms of strengthened elements also require deeper study.
Furthermore, many rehabilitation practices are not adequately supported by field-based case studies and real-time monitoring data. This creates a gap between theoretical research and practical implementation.
Therefore, there is a need for more comprehensive research focusing on integrated assessment techniques, performance-based rehabilitation strategies, cost-effective strengthening solutions, and long-term monitoring of rehabilitated RCC structures to ensure safety, durability, and sustainability.

METHODOLOGY
The rehabilitation process is executed in five strategic phases, moving from initial field diagnostics to high-tech structural reinforcement.
Phase 1: Visual Inspection of the Structure
The first step is a comprehensive “walk-through” to identify visible distress signals.
-
Photographic Survey: High-resolution images are taken of every structural element. We capture wide-angle shots for context and macro (close-up) shots of specific distress points. This includes “mapping” cracks with a crack-width gauge placed in the frame for scale.
-
Mapping Defects: We noted crack patterns (flexural or shear), spalling of concrete, and exposed or corroded reinforcement, Sagging, etc.
-
Audit Report: This report include visual inspection photographs with caption (determine/ observation in this picture or on site). On the basis of visual inspection we categories defect, following are the categories:
-
Good: The member is in proper situation without a visible signs and symptoms of damage or distress. There are not any cracks, spalling, corrosion, or deformation located. The member is appearing satisfactorily and does not require any heavy repair work at present, just conduct routine maintenance.
-
Minor : The structural member is in good condition; however small defects such as hairline cracks, minor surface spalling, peeling of paint, spalling of plaster, beginning to spalling of concrete due to minor corrosion on reinforcement etc. the issues are cosmetic & not affected to stability of structure. The simple repair & routine maintenance is sufficient to restore the member.
-
Moderate: Observed defects in the member include wider cracks, moderate spalling, exposed reinforcement with corrosion just beginning to take place or minor deformation of the member. Overall stability is not threatened; however durability and serviceability may be compromised. Repair of the member should take place as soon as possible.
-
Major: Member observed in damaged condition. Major spalling of concrete with exposed corroded reinforcement, deflection, major cracks. As a result, the member’s structural integrity and its ability to resist load are compromised. Immediate repair with strengthening is required.
VISUAL INSPECTION

Photo 3, 4: Combination of Flexural & shear crack observed on beam.
Photo 5, 6: Bulging of column with beginning of developing vertical cracks. The reason behind this is due to increase load/ inadequate design.
Photo 7, 8: Vertical cracks observed on column members.
Photo 9, 10: Vertical cracks observed on column members.
Phase 2: Site Data Collection:
Ones the visual inspection is completed, we gather structural member information as following: –
-
-
Geometry of structural members: – We measure actual size of structural members such as column cross-section, beam size.
-
Any repair work is done, if yes in which year: – There is no repair work is done before.
-
Year of construction: 2015.
Phase 3: NDT Testing and Interpretation:
-
Ultrasonic Pulse Velocity Test: IS 516 (Part 2/Sec 1): 2018
It is a non-destructive testing to evaluate concrete quality in terms of homogeneity, uniformity, honeycombing, internal voids/ cracks. In this apparatus two probes, one is transducer pass pules & another is receiver to measure velocity. The pulse travel time is less then it shows good quality of concrete in term of homogeneity & when pulse travel time is more the it means presence of internal cracks, voids.
There are three method of testing
Direct Method
Semi-direct Method
Indirect Method

Rebound Hammer Test: IS 516 (Part 5/Sec 4) : 2020
It is a non-destructive testing (NDT) method used to estimate the surface hardness and approximate compressive strength of concrete without damaging the structure. This test is commonly used during structural audits and quality assessment of existing concrete structures. The test works on the principle that harder concrete surfaces will cause a greater rebound of a spring-controlled mass inside the hammer.
-
Procedure:
-
Chipping plaster from surface of structural member.
-
Clean the surface.
-
Hold the hammer perpendicular to the surface of structural member.
-
Press the plunger until the hammer impacts & record the rebound number.
-
Take min 10 to 14 reading at one location.

Phase 4: Analysis of structure by using Pushover Analysis via ETABS:
When we have finished processing the site data and the NDT results, then create a digital model of the structure using ETABS. This digital model is, like a copy of the thing so we can get a better understanding of behaviour the structure at current loading condition. We use ETABS to make this twin of the structure.
-
Modeling the state of the structure is what we do first. We make a model of the structure. This model includes the strength of the materials and the current shape of the parts.
-
We do a kind of test called Non-Linear Static or Pushover Analysis. This test is different from a test. We apply a load to the structure, from the side. Keep pushing it until it reaches a certain point or falls down.

-
We use a tool to see where the structure will break first. This tool is called ETABS. It helps us find out which parts of the structure will bend or break. We call these points hinges”.
-
We make a graph that shows how strong the structure is. This graph is called the Capacity Curve. It shows us if the structure is strong enough to meet the rules for earthquakes.
-
When we look at the results of the Pushover Analysis we can see if the structure is weak or stiff. If it is weak we use the results to find out where we need to add support to make the structure stronger. We want to change the way the structure breaks so it is not weak anymore. We do this by adding Hybrid EB and NSM reinforcements to the structure.

PUSHOVER ANALYSIS IN ETABS
The ETABS model we made for the Educational Structure is a model. To do an analysis we need to change this simple model into a more complex model. We do this by adding parts called frame non-linear hinges. We put these hinges on the beams and columns of the Educational Structure. This makes the Educational Structure behave in a -linear way. The way we assigned these hinges to the Educational Structure is shown in the figure;

CANCLUSION OF PUSHOVER ANALYSIS:
A structural analysis was conducted on the existing structure using E-TABS software, incorporating material properties such as reinforcement sizes, concrete grade, and other parameters obtained from non-destructive testing (NDT). The analysis, which applied current loads including dead load, live load, floor finish load and seismic load, reveals that; the structure is structurally stable for dead load, live load, floor load, but unstable for current seismic load condition. Hence, which required major revamping and retrofitting work to make it structurally sound. Additionally, the rest of the structure requires major repairs.
