3-STORY OLD BUILDING OF RAJABHAT COLLEGE – Structural Strengthening for Heritage Conservation and Modern Use
Project Overview
This project involved the structural reinforcement of a historic three-story reinforced concrete building located within Rajabhat College, dating back to the reign of King Rama V. Given its age and outdated structural design, major upgrades were required to meet modern engineering standards as part of a full renovation for adaptive reuse, while preserving the building’s cultural and architectural significance.
Materials Used & Strengthening Approach
✅ Beams:
- Strengthened from below using SMARTFIBER-STRIP TL512
- Ends of beams reinforced with SMARTFIBER-SHEET UT70-30 in U-wrap applications
- Enhanced both flexural and shear strength for safe load transfer
✅ Columns:
- Fully wrapped with SMARTFIBER-SHEET UT70-30 along their entire height
- Improved vertical load-bearing and shear resistance
- Prevented cracking and long-term deterioration
✅ Project Outcomes
- Revitalized the historic structure with modern structural integrity
- Successfully repurposed the building for future academic or public use
- Preserved architectural authenticity while upgrading strength and safety
- Extended the life of a century-old building with minimal disruption
- Strengthened from below using SMARTFIBER-STRIP TL512
